    Apparently according to the quiz I am a left wing libertarian. Close to the Greens

    Apparently I’m moderately leftish (-4.73), and nothing on the other scale (-0.26).

    Kinda funny, because I’ll probably vote for the party that’s one of furtherest away from the above position.

    Nato, you’re going to vote for density?

    I am leftish too (-5.13) and -2.82 on the libertian/authoritarian thingee. Close to the greens also.

    Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.

    I’m exactly 0 on the vertical line and slightly to the left on the horizontal line! : ) I’m not entirely sure what it all means, but it’s all good!!

    National. They look roughly equi-distant, depending on the scale of the depiction above.

    Likewise I will vote for someone close to the mirror image of my position. United Furture.

    if you care nathan, i measured your positions in PS and did some math.

    you are about 12.0 ‘points’ from national, and 12.5 ‘points’ from density. (yay for the photoshop ruler)

    [The scale is 10 points each way from the center. The distance between extreme left and extreme right is 20 points.]

    im sorta lefty (-4.00) and not much otherways (-0.67)- quite pointless seeing as i can’t vote for another three years or so

    Oh yeah: I’m so anarcho-libertarian that I’m gonna stride into the voting station, scrawl oscenities on the ballot, ram it down the neck of a Molotov cocktail, and light up the revolution!

    Seriously, the last time I did the quiz I was a hair to the right of centre, and about halfway down beneath the horizontal. I’m still unsure which party I’m voting for, aside from the fact that it will be one of the Big Two.

    I am either Gandhi or the Dalai Lama.

  14. Comment by Andrew • Tue 13 Sep 05, 5:06 pm #

    I got -6.5, -2.0, putting me nearest the Greens and Progressive.

    I’m in the left libeterian square at -1.79 and the economic one was -2.88 so I’m closest to Ghandi and the Greens. Weirod.

    I am left -5.75 and libertarian -0.15…. but I don’t know if this poll adequately describes the differences between the parties… i.e. I see the need for a healthy business sector (National), and fair (but not extravagant) welfare and training, yet it puts me further left than the Greens!….. I think I agree with my stance on authoritarianism/libertarianism though.

    Woah! According to that test I should be voting for the Maori party, NZ First or the Progressives! Eek!
    I’m actually voting United Future.
