Political Quiz
Where do you stand exactly? Just take this quiz so those of us who are on the political debate could take some enlightenment in seeing that we are not so black and white after all on issues and on parties.

I scored 19 which is between Bill Clinton and Colin Powell.
Have fun!
Re: Political Quiz
I scored 18...and I still can't stand McCain! :P
Re: Political Quiz
I got 9 but many of the questions are too narrowly phrased to be of any value

Re: Political Quiz
But SG, they ask legitimate questions and seem fairly reliable. I see you scored 9? Then you're truly Liberal with a capital L... :lol:
I'm trying to create a Kumbaya (is the spelling correct?) among us, Roy. Don't rub it any further... :D
There's always the first time, mimpimanis.
Re: Political Quiz
No, I found I was unable to answer a few of the questions in the way I wanted to. The options offered were quite narrow, and a bit clichéd at times IMO.But SG, they ask legitimate questions and seem fairly reliable.
It may be just me, but I like to stretch my thoughts on a broader canvas than that.
The irony is that in New Zealand and Australia, I'm quite centrist (and I'd say in most of the rest of the world), but in the USA I'm classed as a liberal which is a fairly firm pointer that the centre in the US is very much to the right of the global political landscape. What are mostly uncontroversial opinions in much of the world are tarred as lib-left there.

Re: Political Quiz
I scored 13, but it's hardly enlightening. Some questions I just flipped a coin so to speak. :lol:
my karma ran over my dogma
Re: Political Quiz
I scored an 11 and in Australia I am also classified as a centrist, although I definately lean to the right. That's a good observation SG in regard to the centre in the US being very much to the right in the global political landscape. It is part of what makes it sooo scary when the US right gain power. They seem to be very right compared to other countries.Originally Posted by SG
I also find it interesting that all us NON-US citizens can even have an opinion in regard to US politics - I mean, could any of you Americans vote on a political poll about Australian, European, UK, etc. politics ? I bet not. Go on - who's the current PM of Australia and how long has he/she been in?? What about NZ?? What party is in power in the UK and who is the Chancellor of the Exchequer?
Re: Political Quiz
Well, I could name all those as I guess most people here could..but yes it's scary how little Americans (and its a generalisation but not too much) know about the world. What was the percentage of Americans who couldn't place the US on a world map a few years back? It was quite high.I also find it interesting that all us NON-US citizens can even have an opinion in regard to US politics - I mean, could any of you Americans vote on a political poll about Australian, European, UK, etc. politics ?

And then there was the British Ambassador at the ball game in North Carolina who had to explain, with Condi Rice helping, that, no, the English monarch hadn't been overthrown in 1776, to more than a few surprised folks.

Re: Political Quiz
16. I did it as fast as I could to get a gut reaction rather than a deep thought one which is what i do with all such quizzes. That puts me left of center which is exactly where my politics are.
