What's moralistic about assuming that "progress" implies the kind of change that a one-party system cannot provide? Seems logical to me, not moral.

Actually I think I'll digress at this point... The idea of the quiz would appear to be that you answer however you feel is right... It's all about how you feel, no matter if these feelings are logical or moral or not, if they have a logical or moral basis or not, or if they can be rationalized or moralized or not.

Bearing my earlier example of a dictator who raises the average life expectancy of a nation in mind, how is this not progress? Making a blanket statement that a one-party state cannot ever have progress, is a moral decision.Blasphemous said:
I am not taking issue with those who think a multi-party democracy is superior; I am taking issue with those who designed the test. The person/people who created the test has/have an obligation to ensure that the questions are not skewed in favor of a given political ideology. Such a question would have thrown up red flags if this test was intended to be an impartial "political compass".Blasphemous said:

Excel assigned them based on when I added you to the graph. I added myself first, then went through the thread and added everyone else, then had to go back and re-add Gabryel Karolin because I accidentally deleted him. Each person is a separate data set - probably not the simplest way to make the graph but still the simplest way to label all of the data points.

Wow, I'm at the least populated region in the political compass.

You're firmly in Socialist-Communist territory
And a guide to which American parties best fit which areas:
(+, +) Constitution, Republican
(+, -) Libertarian
(-, +) No parties of significance (Socialist Workers is the largest)
(-, -) Green
(0, 0) Democratic
The Reform Party is all over the place. Right now, they aren't far from the Greens, but they've been way out with the Constitutionalists relatively recently as well.

Far enough in to have a nice State-owned place with a view, but not so far in that I get mixed with the hippies! Perfect...

Who has the data packed up together?
I'm interested to see for instance, what is the average distance between CFCers and what two CFCers are farthest appart. It would be fun to know.
Or I can build it into a smooth topographical map or wave interference map.

Well, they can move some to the Socialist/Communist region, we have alot of space there
For the record, I scored:
Economic Left/Right: -3.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.31
which is about middle-of-the-pack when looking at those who did the test.
like othres I missed the "no opinion" choice for some of those statements.

I thought this was the old political compass test formed from a total of ten questions or thereabouts and so I initially skipped it. My bad, here are my numbers:
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 6.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.46
No big surprise for me.
