[Mavorpen]

The part in red is far right. The money thing I have no clue.

I support protectionism.
I support higher taxes on the rich.
I belive in nationalisation.
I dont belive globalisation is good.
I dont belive in free trade.

The following are pretty left wing to me.

The following are pretty left wing to me.

Protectionism is nationalist. Nationalism can be left-wing or right-wing depending upon how you do it.

Same with anti-globalization and anti-free trade views.

Well unless their site has had issues every time I have taken the test, my economic compass is far left wing. Isnt state capitalism?

A test can't gauge the nuances of every issue. For instance, left-wing nationalists oppose free trade because they believe it's a neo-colonial tool designed to destroy local industry. Right-wing nationalists oppose free trade because they see it as an attempt by foreign entities to gain an economic foothold and slowly take over a country from within.

Motivations for views can determine whether they count towards one being right-wing or left-wing.

If you dont think Political Compass is accurate, I would take another test of your choosing if you wanted.

If you're trying to determine what singular views are right-wing or left-wing, really a test isn't the thing you're looking for.

I'm not saying it isn't accurate. I totally understand the fact that you are opposed to free markets. I just question whether or not it's because you're a leftist. Which you aren't, going by comments you have made before.

That being said, we're off topic. TaQud got us back on topic.

Guess what types of presidential ads I have to deal with in Ohio... (because its a swing state of course)

How much I support the US candidates. I agree with Romney 92% of the time. That is a surprise about how much I agree with him.

Everyone agrees with him on almost every topic. They also disagree with him on almost every topic. That's because he's held pretty much every position there is.

He was, that's because he's launching a whole new set very reminiscent of McCain's 'throw everything and hope something sticks' style of campaign advertising, albeit with a bit more money backing it up. Unfortunately for Romney, he's having to spend most of the cash he's taking in on campaign organization because he didn't bother during the primaries.

Wow. That's the problem with first-past-the-post electoral systems. Too much focus on certain areas and almost none on others.

well some states like Wyoming (or the Northwestern part of "Jesus land") are less important to focus on then Ohio or Colorado or other swing states
