The 'ET Political Compass' is a map of ET readers' Political Compass results, currently off-line (it was in a Wiki overloaded by spammers). Thus I am not at all against the test or your taking of it -- I am discussing the interpretation with Cyrille.

BTW? Cyrille, I don't remember if you took the test and where it placed you -- which would be interesting inasmuch as IIRC you're a MoDem/Bayrou supporter, and thus probably as close to the center as possible in a French political context.

I had to look up IIRC but yes YDRC (You Do Recall Corectly). I'm actually a member, although I think I am late in renewing my subscribtion, how would I know, they never mentioned money, and I keep receiving the commission documents (haven't been able to produce anything myself of late though)...

I did take the test but did not then asked to be placed because I found it a caricature -I was so far to the left despite answering a straight centrist ticket (actually, when I was unsure of my opinion, I simply entered the MoDem one).

I remember being very close to Jérôme, somewhat more liberal in social terms and maybe a shade more conservative in economics, although I may have been slightly to the left in that one as well.
It made ET look like a group of crazy leftist extremists that found Pol Pot Reaganian and that's unfair when only half of us are ;-)

Why, wasn't he? Same hostility to intellectuals, same abandonment of inner cities :-)
