There are tons of these out there, but I thought this was one of the more interesting ones I've seen because the questions are more concerned with your opinions on current events than most. Post your results brehs.

Description
You want government out of people's personal lives, but desire more government control over people's economic activities. This puts you midway between President Barack Obama and former Governor Gary Johnson.

There is no political party that represents your views. The Green Party does run many candidates with similar views, but the overall Green Party platform is much more socialistic than you are. There are some Democratic Party office holders in this region, but most are south of you on the Nolan Chart. Possibly the closest party to your views is the new Modern Whig Party, but they are just getting started.

A mix of Democratic, Green, and Libertarian politicians in office would provide the balance of freedom and social justice you desire. The ratio between these depends on how high up your dot is on the chart.


Sounds about like me.:youngsabo:


Didn't know there was a Modern Whig Party. :lupe:

:whew: took a while to think some of these out with all the options available.

Description
You want the government a bit smaller overall than what we have now, but not a whole lot smaller. You could get what you want with a nearly equal mix of Democrats and Republican, if they are the correct Democrats and Republicans. A random selection of each leads to bigger government. Be choosy.

Or you could add a few Libertarians to that equal mix of Democrats and Republicans. But yikes! Those Libertarians are radical!

Then again, this year the Libertarians actually have a more moderate than usual presidential ticket, with former Governor Gary Johnson and Judge Jim Gray. They are still more radical that you, but possibly worth your consideration.

I don't know if I'd make the same choices if I went through it a second time. It took a while to complete, it was like a macroeconomics exam.

Your views call for roughly same amount of goverment and liberty that we (in the U.S.) have today, for both personal and economic issues. You should be relatively contented. You also get to vote for the person instead of the ideology. Who do you go for this year: good looking, executive hair, or climed Mount Everest? This quiz cannot answer this question.

Then again, it is possible to score Centrist with a mix of radical bigger and smaller government positions for both the person and economic directions. I need to upgrade the quiz to look at standard deviations to distinguish Centrist from Eclectic. One of these days...

You want government out of your personal life. On the other hand, you want more government in your economic life. This puts you closest to either the Green Party or the radical wing of the Democratic Party. You might even consider yourself a socialist, or a “true” communist (as opposed to the “state capitalists” who ran the old Soviet Union).

Liberal leaning centrist

Your views call for roughly same amount of goverment and liberty that we have today, with a bit more personal liberty and more government involvement in the economy.

It appears that you are relatively happy with our President Obama, but if you have strong concerns about civil liberties, foreign military actions, or job outsourcing, you might prefer Gary Johnson.

So we have a social liberal (me), a smaller government centrist, a moderate, a radical liberal, and a Liberal leaning centrist. :leon:


Pretty cool that we're not all getting the same result, even if this HL posters do tend to be left-leaning.

And I have a few more options for you below.





So, Right-Libertarian pretty much? I don't view the Libertarians as radical though and i would be happy with a lot less government.

You like your government very, very small—or none at all. You are a real libertarian. Want to run for Congress? State legislature? You might want to join the Libertarian Party and they'll put you on the ballot. Put in some effort and you could be state chair in a couple of years. Whether this effort is worthwhile is debatable. Back when I was a party member I wrote these Essays on World Liberation in the hope of turning the LP into a real political party. Though I have mellowed out since those days, and focus on higher-probability strategies, I still find I cannot resist the temptation to write on libertarian strategy, but be forewarned: some of the lessons I have learned are rather hard.
Actually, now is a great time to be an active libertarian. Ron Paul ran a truly visible campaign this year. Maybe that momentum could be transferred to Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. If he gets enough support this time around, he might run again in 2016 with are more significant chance of winning.
