Very Well written and thoughtful.

Will try to respond a bit when I get back from weekly groceries.

I'm a leftie outlier on the ET Political Compass, but it's the first time I've been called a Wobbly! ;)

On the political compass put out for the Dutch elections I was a slightly left-of-center progressive.

On both of these, I seem to be a bit further left.

So, on the first test I got -4.25 left/right and -7.64 libertarian/authoritarian. On the second test I got a (normalised on a scale of ten to be comparable) -3.70 left/right score and a +0.72 pragmatic/idealistic score. Almost the exact same place as Charles Kennedy there.

So I guess that would make me a pragmatic libertarian center-lefty... or something.

I think the libertarian side was probably skewed a bit by the questions on religion, though. Religion is no longer an important part of tradition for (some of) us Europeans (to go back on-topic), so a negative attitude towards it doesn't necessarily reflect anti-traditionalism or anti-authoritarianism.

I took the first test and got

-9.00 Economic Left/Right
-7.95 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian

The second test gave me these results:

left/right      -8.8032 (-0.5299)
pragmatism     -0.3778 (-0.0227)

Seems like I'm pretty far to the left.. no surprises there.

You have a normal feeling for a moment, then it passes. --More--

Being called a Wobbly is a compliment.
