Social Democracy is my one.
I wouldn't strongly disagree with that!

Harrowby Hall · « **Reply #5 on:** May 02, 2020, 03:19:31 PM »

My result is Social Democracy. I am a Social Peaceful Liberal Progressive scoring over 67% on each axis.

Owlswing · « **Reply #6 on:** May 02, 2020, 04:10:31 PM »

Democratic Socialist - that came as a bit of a shock actually!

Many of the questions in this exercise reflected American social values. My guess is that its validation, if indeed there has been any, was with just a single socio-political population - that of the USA. In consequence, even for people with right-wing views, a British population will be more liberal and socially concerned than an American population. This will mean that this instrument is of less - even little - value in our society.

And yet of many people I have seen do it elsewhere who are not American, feel it works quite well. I think it is biased to some American issues but I think it is not in terms of its judgements

I'm a Trotskyist, apparently!

I'd've said I was a democratic, left-wing socialist with liberal and green leanings.

The combination of socialist and authority. Your socialism gives huge ownership to the govt and your liberalism is a comparatively low score so the govt ends up with huge power.

Me too, according to the quiz. I’m definitely not a libertarian, at least not in the sense that Americans use it.

My thoughts too.

I don't see myself as a libertarian - rather I see myself as a liberal.

Certainly to me a libertarian is a person who feels that individual freedoms are paramount and trump any notion of government or collective authority. That certainly seems to be the USA view, which typically aligns with the most right wing views. In the current climate American libertarians are the ones thinking that lock-down is an abhorrent restriction on individual freedoms and that if individuals want to do whatever they wish during the coronavirus they should be allowed to. That is certainly not me.

But you aren't being judged a 'liberatarian' as a libertarian socialist so that's just confused.
