No wait! I have a better idea.

How about we organise a legalise culling or all people who think privatisation and the rich controlling the markets to their favour is good for the country and is morally just!

I don't think privatisation or the rich controlling the markets is a good thing either. According to politicalcompass.org, I'm actually fairly centrist with regards to the traditional left/right wing economic policies. What really turns my stomach is labours social policies, which probably stems from the fact that on the compass I'm right up the top end on the "Authortarian vs Libertarian" axis.

I just redid the compass for argument sake. I did it about 3 months ago, and a few weeks before the election. My SL/A scale is about the same, the first test my EL/R scale was -1, second it was +1, this is -1.5 so hovering right around the center.

Economic Left/Right: -1.50 (Communism vs Neo Liberalism)
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 5.74 (Fascism vs Anarchism)

It puts me about midway between stalin and hitler economically, and the same level on the authoritarian scale *grin*

And I do jest about moving to australia. NZ is the best country in the world, admittedly I'm bias and a nationalist, but I'd never live elsewhere. I just REALLY wish we didnt have labour in power.

Thats a pretty cool test, i've never given a whole lot of thought to politics in terms of Fascism vs Anarchism before.
I scored:
Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.51

Which gives me roughly the same political views as Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama.
Quite interesting.

I'm pretty sure Wolf's score is down around there somewhere from memory.

As I expected.
Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -5.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.74

I'm a lefty for sure.

http://politicalcompass.org/
Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.31

Me and the Dalai Lama (Or Brother Dee Al as I call him when we are shooting the breeze on a a sunny day) have always seen eye to eye :-)
