Political Views
Most people that know me who don't agree with me politically would call me a right winger. However, the political compass disagrees. Over the last year and a half, I've increasingly become a centrist! In June of 2002, I had an Economic Left/Right score of 4.00 (far right), tonight as with a few months ago, I had 2.75. I've also become slightly more “authoritarian” socially, going from -1.28 (slightly libertarian) to -0.05 (very slightly libertarian). I got a similar score on another test as well… you can see my complete results below.
Thanks to Christopher for reminding me about the Political Compass.
World's Shortest Political Quiz [Link]Political Compass [Link]Your Personal Self-Government Score is 40%.
Your Economic Self-Government Score is 60%.
Economic Left/Right: 2.75 Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.05
This makes me more libertarian than Gerhard Schroder and Tony Blair, but economically about the same.
I think this has to do with my (slightly) lessening interest in economic versus social issues (never fear, I'm not turning liberal or anything awful like that!
). So how about you?

The liberal comment was somewhat tongue in cheek. Over the last few weeks, when David Limbaugh has been on the Rush Limbaugh program giving updates on how Rush is doing in rehab, he also keeps noting that “Rush is not turning liberal.”
