My Results:

[Scooter]

[Lord Jim]

It seems to me, that like so many other similar "quizzes" we've seen like this, the analysis is very heavily weighted towards giving a result that is designed to make the person think that they are a "Libertarian"....

I'm sure that a lot my answers were very different from Dale's, (particularly regarding national defense and international involvement in general)

And yet we both come up as "Libertarians"...

I expect this 'quiz" was probably put together by a Libertarian organization.

[Gob]

I'm sure like every "best political quiz in the world ever" crap, it's i very heavily weighted towards giving a result that is designed to make the person think that they are a "American"

[Lord Jim]

You mean like the way those BBC Quizzes that some joker around here keeps posting are heavily weighted to be easier for people who grew up in towns with names like Stoke-on-Trent ?

[Gob]

Do they claim to be "the best in the world " Jim?

[Rick]

Well Jim almost half the questions start with "Should the government"...

[Crackpot]

How could this question be answered yes?

Should the government financially assist corporations under any circumstances?

[Crackpot]

I'm as much a lefty as Scooter is!

I guess it weights "maybes" as lefty.

[Gob]

I wrote to them and called them a bunch of parochial arseholes, I wonder if I'll get a reply?

I wonder if they know what "parochial" means and how it applies.

[dales]

Look for Homeland Security kicking in your door at 3am, my good man!

[Lord Jim]

How could this question be answered yes?

Should the government financially assist corporations under any circumstances?

I answered it yes....(any circumstances?)

I also answered this one yes:

Should the government implement public works programs?

(I support infrastructure spending)

Answered these yes and marked them critical:

Should more money be invested in the military?
Should the government currently have military involvement in the Middle East?
Should the government expand offshore drilling?

Gave a yes to the public health option, and a maybe on additional firearms restrictions.....

And got labeled a "Libertarian"....

My mum's from Stoke-on-Trent...

[Crackpot]

How could this question be answered yes?

Should the government financially assist corporations under any circumstances?

I answered it yes....(any circumstances?)

I suppose it depends how you read "any"

[Gob]

It depends on what your definition of "is" is.

[liberty]

How could this question be answered yes?

Should the government financially assist corporations under any circumstances?

yes

[Sean]

Should the government financially assist corporations under any circumstances?

It's poorly worded. It should read either:

Are there any circumstances under which the government should financially assist corporations?

or

Are there any circumstances under which the government should not financially assist corporations?

[Gob]

No it's perfect as it is!!

It's the best political quiz in the world, don't'cha know?

[Lord Jim]

I wrote to them and called them a bunch of parochial arseholes, I wonder if I'll get a reply?

You'll probably get the same response you get every year when you write the Baseball Commissioner bitching about the phrase, "World Series"....

[Gob]

They never write, they never phone, bastards...
