Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Far Left
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Socialist
Religion: None/Atheism

Abortion: Generally in favour, although there needs to be control to ensure it doesn't get out of hand in society
War in Iraq: Good intentions marred by terrible, stupid execution resulting in more harm than good being done.
War in Afghanistan: Similar to the war in Iraq, except maybe slightly more good was achieved.

Firearms: Only permitted for army and police.
Gay Marriage: Absolutely no reason why not.
Gay Adoption: For sure, go for it.
Religion in schools: Only if a good cross section of different religions are taught objectively.
Death penalty: No, no, no. We should aim to be enlightened and civilised.

War on Drugs: "If you support the war on drugs, you are either a moron or part of the racket" - Alan Watts
Healthcare: Free, although some private care isn't bad.
Euthanasia: The slow legal process of adopting euthanasia is necessary to avoid missteps as long as we are heading in the right direction.
Creationism in School: Why not teach kids that biscuits are demons and light bulbs will send you to hell. Ridiculous.
The Military: Interventions are sometimes necessary, things are getting very out of hand in the Middle East.
War on Terror: Necessary, but should be carried out more compentently
USA: Far too right wing economically.
Europe: Rabbit in the headlights.
Middle-East: Out of control, intervention required.
Labour Unions: Definitely required for society to work properly.

Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: Was baptized an Anglican but now more of an atheist.

Abortion: Should be illegal except in extreme cases e.g maternal health
War in Iraq: Against. Did way more harm than good. Saddam could at least keep the country together.
Marijuana: Not in favor of legalisation
Firearms: Ownership should be available to people who prove they are fit and proper to do so. Self defense should be allowed.
Gay Marriage: Against. Marriage is between a man and a woman.
Gay adoption: Strongly against. Distorts the traditional family.
Religion in schools: Should be available if people want it, but not compulsory. Not Islam in a predominantly Christian country and vice versa.
Death penalty: For, only in extreme cases.

I've added a few of my own here.
EU: Hate it. Nations should have a right to their sovereignty and their borders.
Islam: Backwards, intolerant religion that's incompatible with the west until it's reformed.
Immigration: Should be tightly controlled. Assimilation is a must.
TPPA/TTIP: Both horrible trade deals that give the multinationals way too much power.
Trump: I like him a lot. He doesn't have time for Political correctness, and neither do I.
Hillary Clinton: Can't stand her.
Refugees: Should only be allowed to stay in neighbouring safe countries, not be able to go to pick what country they want.
Scottish Independence: Used to be strongly against, now leaning slightly for. Would be fully for if the SNP wasn't a radical left wing party.

Political Compass Result:
Economic: -5.75 Social: -5.28

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Center Right.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: Democrat
Religion: Agnostic.

Abortion: Pro-Choice
War in Iraq:A crime against humanity on false pretenses.
War in Afghanistan: Unjustified war of revenge.
Drugs: Full legalization across the entire spectrum. I want regulation for all of these. Not banning it, which lines the pockets of actual criminals.
Firearms: Full legalization with improved regulation. I want mandatory background checks for all sales of any kind. I want all firearms to be registered as well.
Gay Marriage: Yes. Let people do what they want.
Gay Adoption: Yes. I don’t care.
Religion in schools: Religious schools are okay with me. Let people choose what they want to choose.
Death penalty: A relic of barbaric times.
Education: Free public education up to 2 year community college. Universities need to be privately funded. They should be centers of education and enlightenment. Not a breeding ground of useless degrees.
War on Drugs: Somebody benefits from it. Certainly not me and I want no part of it. Stop wasting my tax dollars on it.
Healthcare: A form of universal healthcare with a large private component. Medicare Part D needs to be completely reworked. Let insurance companies and the Gov. bargain.
Euthanasia: I am pro suicide. I don’t give a if you want to off yourself. Please do so and make them pay for it too.
Creationism in School: Not in public schools.
Military: Isolationism until our international credibility is restored. If you’re playing realpolitik then stop hiding behind liberal pretenses.
War on Terror: Retarded. Defend our borders, not invade theirs.
Europe: Can go itself. I’m not paying for your security.
Middle-East: Can also go itself. Either go only for humanitarian and ceasefire efforts, or don’t go there at all. I don’t give a about their deserts unless they are our allies. Looking at you Israel. Don’t start wars cuz I won’t support it.
Labor Unions: Are toothless. Stop trying to kill them.
Russia: Can go itself. Why can’t we leave them alone and focus on our own issues?
Trump: A clown in all senses of the word.
Free Trade: A good thing, but people are un-educated and retarded so what can I say?
Immigration: A wonderful thing that helps our demographics and labor force.
International Relations: ​Neo-realism.

I believe in a market economy, I also recognize that there are goods that the market cannot easily provide. Moreover, I recognize that some goods ought to be public as opposed to private. Socially I’m a libertarian. I don’t believe in banning things (except deadly things). I believe that all problems stem from human behavior and that it can’t be curbed, only suppressed through rehabilitation. I also believe that certain things require regulation to control human behavior.

The Gov. needs to be smaller. Too many useless departments like the NSA and Homeland Security. Let the FBI do domestic security. Stop domestic surveillance and the massive useless waste of space that is the Dept. of Homeland Security. Taxes need to be completely reworked. IRS could be cut in half if we had effective taxes. Bureaucracy in general will be the death of us. That kind of things needs to be shifted to the local levels. Federal Government needs to be an auditor and innovator. Not the implementer.

[Muizer]

DOB: 70s
Country of Residence: Netherlands
Nationality: Dutch
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -6.63 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.21
Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I don't. Others might call me center left.
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): green
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: no
Abortion: Who am I to overrule someone who has decided they want one? I don't have to like it, but that is hardly a grounds to legislate against it.
War on Terror: Pandora's box opened by GW Bush. Now all and sundry can, and do, use it to justify their foreign military interventions and repression of domestic opposition
Marijuana: Legalize/regulate.
Firearms: Best to keep a gun-poor society gun-poor. Once they're everywhere it's going to be difficult to reverse the trend.
Gay Marriage: If a gay couple wants to marry, who am I to say they cannot?
Gay adoption: Yawn. Whatever.
Religion in schools: Teach it in the history classes, where it belongs.
Death penalty: I'd say 'no', but then there's the Nuremberg trials...........
EU: For all its faults we'll regret it if we let it fail.
US: Oddly schizophrenic country. Not the ideal superpower, I suppose, but from a European perspective, we could do much worse. And possibly will the way things are going.

DOB: 80s
Country of Residence: Australia
Nationality: I hold 3 passports.
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -3.88 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Left leaning with a mild libertarian edge
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Sarcastic anarchist
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: No
Religion: No.

Abortion: Not my body, not my choice.
War in Iraq: Don't understand why this question still exists. The US made the mess. It should be there to fix it. As long as it takes.
Marijuana: Should be earning tax rather than costing it through police work.
Firearms: With thorough testing and background checks for hunting/sport/farming yes. There is no purpose for a civilian to own a device specifically designed to kill other people.
Gay Marriage: It's their life. Their choice.
Gay adoption: Sure if they meet the criteria.
Religion in schools: Study of, not in.
Death penalty: It's illogical to kill people for killing, we'd then have to kill the killer killer, and so forth, so no.

Bonus round:
EU: Up to the citizens of each member country to choose. But I've never seen a down side listed that can't be easily refuted, and nationalism is poison.
Islam: Is a religion with the same benefits and shortcomings of any other.
Immigration: Is inevitable. Get used to people moving about. They've been doing it since evolution. I'm an immigrant, so biased.
TPPA/TTIP: Trade friendly international relations have provided me with choices and options my parents never had. It has provided me with my career, my consumer goods, my travel friendly lifestyle. If your industry is nonviable in a global economy, then maybe you should think about evolving to something which is.
Trump: He is what he is. Deal with it.
Refugees: Are a valuable potential resource for their host nation. Virtually all evidence suggests they are valuable net contributors to their host nations, and those who fear them tend to be those who were never going to have much impact on history anyway. Without them we'd have no Einstein, Freud or Kissinger
Scottish Independence: Kind of a pot kettle black situation. I'm staunchly anti nationalist so a nationalist separation because of a nationalist separation just seems like idiocy heaped on idiocy to me.

Bonus round part 2
Euthanasia: Their body, their choice.
Military: I'm a pacifist. It's the ultimate expression of control of the masses for personal gain and I'm not here to do the bidding of some sociopathic grey hair, or a corporation of sociopathic grey hairs.
War on Terror: About as logical as War on artillery or War on spoons, can I hear a War on Saxophones? Terrorism is a tool, not an ideology.
Europe: Is a nice place with pretty castles and beaches and forests and things. I love the place.
Middle-East: A diverse place full of wonderful people I loved visiting and will love visiting again.
Labor Unions: Are the only reason workplace standards exist... and in my country at least, still viable.
Russia: Is a country I'd also like to visit one day.
International Relations: ​Neo-realism.

DOB: 87
Country of Residence: Ireland
Nationality: Irish (but also descended from Viking and British rapists obviously, good times)
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: -5.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -7.54

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: I don't, but I guess if you put a gun against my head I'd call myself a liberal, even if that word now means the opposite of what it used to.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Like in most things: I am an outsider. I'd probably be an anarchist if there weren't so many :wub:s who call themselves anarchists.
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: No, when I vote, I vote for stated intentions and/or individuals.
Religion: No.

Abortion: Should be easily available. It's a good way to fight crime too.
Marijuana: Should be compulsory. I'm sick of douche-bags being so angry all the time. Just take a toke and calm the down douche bags: take your medicine.
Firearms: Guns are cool. Pew pew pew.
Gay Marriage: Weddings are already the gayest things on the planet, it's only fair that they're allowed to have their own too.
Gay adoption: Should be no different to any other couple seeking adoption.
Religion in schools: religious privately owned schools: fine. Schools that receive public funding have to be neutral (ie. secular)
Death penalty: Nope, killing's dumb.


Euthanasia: Assisted suicide is fine, killing unwanted people is not cool. The youth is Asia are pretty weird but surprisingly good fun.
Europe: I live here, it is nice.
America: They have the craziest homeless people in the world and the fattest and the skinniest. The tallest buildings. The ugliest people and the most beautiful people. It's a crazy place.
Russia: Seems like a scary place, but every Russian I've met is a lot of fun, but yeah: kinda scary. I think it's the language/accent.

[ArBo]

DOB: 2000
Country of Residence: Belgium
Nationality: Belgian
Political Compass Result: Economic Left/Right: 5.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.54

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Right wing, liberal in the true sense of the word
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Conservative/Libertarian
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: N-VA
Religion: Atheist

Abortion: Both sides of the argument are, in a way, hypocritical. Either way, the state should not provide for you not using a condom.
War in Iraq: Happened before my time, sort of. Intervening in the Middle East has proven itself to be a bad idea in general though.
Marijuana: In my experience it's no worse (or better) than alcohol. Both are enjoyable from time to time, it's your own business what you decide to do to your body. I'm quite strongly opposed to hard drugs though.
Firearms: Don't really understand why you'd want any, but if it's for self-defense and you've been cleared by a background and mental check, I think they can be powerful tools to prevent crime, not only cause it.
Gay Marriage: Seeing as I live in neither the Middle Ages nor the Middle East, it should be fully equal to non-gay marriage.
Gay Adoption: They go right ahead, it's difficult to argue that having two same-sex parents is worse than having no parents. No favouring gays over normal couples though.
Religion in school: Parents should teach their children moral values, not schools. Private schools who teach a certain religion are fine, but state schools should be non-religious.
Death penalty: Seeing as I live in neither the Middle Ages nor the Middle East, a barbaric and unacceptable way to punish crime. I do think people serving a life sentence should have the option to request euthanasia.
Euthanasia: If people are incurably ill, and they don't want to live anymore, why force life upon them?

EU: European collaboration isn't bad in theory, but this EU is an antidemocratic and ineffective mess.
Muslims: People
Islam: A religion that is fundamentally archaic and incompatible with Western values. Many Muslims realise they needn't take their faith and it's holy book literally like most Western Christians do nowadays, but unfortunately many, many don't.
Immigration: Wrongly seen by most of the left and center as a goal, rather than a means to help people in danger. Moreover, it should be the final means to be utilised, as (mass) immigration from poorer countries that have different values unavoidably hurts the receiving country. War refugees should be helped - not in the manner of their choosing necessarily, but in the manner that combines safety with affordability for the people/countries providing the aid.
Nationalism: Seeing as the opposite leads to cultural relativism and globalist utopist thinking, I think it's often a good thing.
Trump: Neither Satan nor Jezus, which seems to be a rare view. The completely one-sided, anti-Trump view in Flemish (and other) media is making me like the guy more and more though, to be honest.
Labour Unions: Like feminists, in the way that they once raised and improved legitimate and harmful problems, but now that their goals have been achieved they simply fail to see their own redundance. Especially in Belgium, where unions are very strong, they do real damage to the economy and the country as a whole.
Russia: Putin is way smarter than everyone gives him credit for, and he's very popular amongst Russian voters, even if he wouldn't cheat. Sure, he's a dictator, but as has been proven countless times forcing a country to become democratic often has an opposite effect.
Free Trade: A source of wealth and innovation, and one of the many fields I disagree with the God-Emperor upon.
Healthcare: Free market in healthcare seems like a very good system to me, but I can't be certain due to a lack of precedent. The current American system is a mess, I say get rid of Obamacare and then decide whether you want fully nationalised healthcare at great cost to the taxpayer but with fairly good quality, or try a genuine free market system with government support for those who most need it, in the form of state-paid credits to be used in this system as to not compromise its independence. A free market has been beneficial in so many areas, so I don't see why it couldn't be used in healthcare as well.
Political Correctness: Cancer.
Socialism: Authoritarian, hypocritical and harmful. Bashing the rich out of envy doesn't make the poor richer, it makes the country poorer.
Israel: Isn't it wonderfully contradictory how the left denies Israelis the right to a country on the mere grounds that they've "only" lived in Israel for 70ish years, and yet it surrenders Europe to non-Europeans and claims this to be an enrichment? Israel is an oasis of prosperity and civilisation in a ruined part of the world, its people deserve a country like everyone else.

It seems I've been rambling on for a while, so I'll wrap it up. Shadilay my dudes.

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Moderate, anti-partisan
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): Pewdiepie
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party: I detest all political parties
Religion: Evolutionary Scientist, but I find Buddhism appealing


Abortion: No thanks I don't have a uterus
War in Iraq: if we had the balls to do it effectively it could've been a big win for humanity
Marijuana: Legalise most all of them; let natural selection sort them out.
Firearms: I'm offended that I cannot legally buy a brand new fully auto M1 carbine, nor a grenade launcher, nor mortar, all of which is a breach of my 2nd Amendment Rights and a travesty to the American way of life. We need MORE weapons not less. "Bans" merely restrict access to weapons by law abiding citizens, not the bad guys.
Gay Marriage: I'd only marry a guy if semen tasted like chocolate milk, which I doubt it does. But if other guys have other tastes, whatever . . .
Gay adoption: I have no interest in adopting anyone, gay, sad, or otherwise.
Religion in schools: Only one religion should be taught in primary and secondary schools: critical thinking and scientific method.
Death penalty: Meh, seems like some of those bastitches had it coming, but then maybe they DO get it wrong in some rare occasions?? Drawing and quartering was definitely overboard, but a lethal injection for a dude who raped and murdered a whole family and cannibalized their corpses and after years of appeals and opportunities to overturn his conviction? Meh, doesn't bother me and I doubt it really does anyone else.

[Aexodus]

Nationality: Northern Irish
Political Compass Result:


Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum:Centre
Do you identify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc):Conservatism
Do you identify yourself with a certain political party:yes
Abortion:No, unless the mother's life is at risk. Completely opposed to eugenics; abortion of deformed children. The unborn aren't simply a part of the body, so I don't believe in 'my body, my choice'. Indeed, the foetus doesn't get one.
Marijuana:Legalise it, let the gang's and para's coffers run dry...
Firearms:Ideally, should be allowed, + lethal force to defend land and property if needed.
Gay Marriage:Against. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Civil unions are fine though, but they should be recognised as something different, which they are. There is a certain way societal structures work best.
Gay adoption:Against, men and women bring different things to the upbringing of a child, two men or two women is an imbalance.
Religion in schools:Yes, but across all religions. And warts and all please, include the bad stuff as well as the good, some actual theocracy, this is something missing at the moment.
Death penalty:For, but only in cases of absolute guilt with material evidence of heinous crimes like serial murder.
EU: No to the EU, yes to a return to some kind of EEC. Freedom of movement and the single currency are stupid, in my opinion. Challenges the concept of the sovereign state in its current monolithic form.
Free Healthcare: Yes, wealth shouldn't be a barrier to healthcare.
Free education: Yes, required for social mobility and a higher skilled workforce. Works in the long run.
Islam: Islam in practice incompatible with the West's values of until some kind of Sufist-style reform. Hadiths must go. In Islamic countries they can do what they want really. We should be allowed to say whatever we want about an idea, be it Scientology or Islam, or Christianity.
Immigration: Should be closely monitored and controlled. Skilled labour given priority, as well as caps and limits are necessary. Deportations should be a tool always open to sovereign states.
Political Correctness: Sets into motion the death of democracy. It's literally a synonym for approved politics/thought.
Trump: Meh, a means to an end. In reality he's really a bit of a buffoon.
Hillary Clinton: A snake.
Refugees: Should stay in neighbouring countries, with aid from the West supporting them. Asylum seekers are not refugees. After the war is over, they should return to their home countries.
Women in the frontline: Yes, in female-only battalions with no concessions in the selection process. Men and women shouldn't serve together if they can't even play sport together.
Transgender Military Service: Not sure, but I wouldn't really want someone with a mental disorder who needs medication at my back in a war zone.
Israel/Palestine: Not really our business, both sides have a claim. But Israel show no intention of integrating the Palestinians. I fear they could drag the West into a war, they have too much influence on Western countries.
Feminism: A malignant cancer

[mishkin]

Where do you put yourself on the political spectrum: Center or a bit of a libertarian (note small letter) and yet a bit to the right of Center in USA political spectrum
Do you indentify yourself with a certain political grouping (socialist, neocon, etc): libertarian

Religion: Lutheran

Abortion: Should be legal up until a certain point in pregnancy
War in Iraq: I was for it before I was against it.
Marijuana: legalized and regulated and taxed like any soft drug such as tobacco or booze.
Firearms: not a fan, but should be legally protected as in the USA constitution.
Gay Marriage: no problem
Gay adoption: no problem if it is only about sexual orientation -- but then I have only a few reservations about single people adopting either.
Religion in schools: The problem is not religion, but who makes the decision on where the child can go for a publicly funded education and whether public funds go to the parent or to the school -- I prefer funding the parent and not the school directly.
Death penalty: Generally against, but there can be narrow exceptions

[Gallus]

This test puts me a bit closer to extreme left every year. Which is kind of funny because I still see myself as a moderate leftist.

Transgender Military Service: Opposed on scientific basis.
Israel/Palestine: Mostly Palestine.
Feminism: Good idea that turned into aggressive societal cancer. Expunge and replace with real gender equity.
