maaaaaan some of these question were hard but here it is:

Your result for The Political Objectives Test...Progressive
You scored 64 Equality, 71 Liberty, and 36 Stability!Your commitment to both liberty and equality makes you a blend of the Liberaland the <Socialist</a>. For you liberty and equality are two parts of the same condition. Everyone has to be free to pursue their own way-of-life but in order for that to happen everyone must start with a similar basic standard of living. You value liberty particularly in cultural and personal life. You also value government intervention to promote equity in economic life while still supporting private enterprise. If this is too bland for you then try the <a href="http://politicalobjectivestest.blogspot.com/2007/04/radical.html">Radical</a> on for size.</div><p><a href="http://www.helloquizzy.com/tests/the-political-objectives-test">Take The Political Objectives Test</a> at <a href="http://www.helloquizzy.com/">HelloQuizzy</a></p>

I can't say I'm super surprised with what I ended up with. Especially with the liberty being higher than even equality, if only slight.

I feel this is the only result I could have had. This is me to a "t".

Establishmentarian

You scored 21 Equality, 64 Liberty, and 57 Stability!
Your commitment to both liberty and stability makes you a blend of the Conservative and the Liberal. You are keen on notions of the person who is ambitious yet well-behaved - it is this kind of person who makes things tick and keeps things running. You value liberty particularly in economic life and embrace private enterprise. You also recognize the value of traditional culture and institutions. Occasionally your economic and cultural positions may clash but in general you will find practical ways to reconcile them. If this is too bland for you then try the Reactionary on for size.

This is pretty much me.

Ambition and liberty mixed with stability and economic freedom = my ideal society.

I'm not sure I agree with this, it all seems a bit vague.

You don't have to enter your birth date, skip past it. Or, alternately, lie about your age? It's the internet, who cares.

Liberal
You scored 50 Equality, 79 Liberty, and 43 Stability!

You think liberty is important both for yourself and for all of humanity. You respect others and think it is important that everyone be given the opportunity to make decisions for themselves rather than have authority figures tell them what is best. The autonomy of every person is important to you but you think there are times in which personal action needs to be limited. As such you recognise that there is a role for government as long as it depends on the consent of the governed – this makes parliamentary democracy important to you. You prefer the role of government in economics and society to be small. In practice you will tolerate public sector activity as long as it is efficient and allows you to get on with your life. You are likely to advocate for both a predominantly free-market economy and a cosmopolitan and permissive culture.

Sounds about right.

Seems rather boring, but I genuinely think this is the best way to go ideologically. A lot of radicals on this sight for some reason haha.

Ultra-Conservative

You scored 64 Equality, 57 Liberty, and 93 Stability!

Your level of commitment to stability is like that of the Fascist but your recognition of other principles makes you more like the garden-varietyConservative in practice. The implications of fascism scare you but at the same time you feel that conservatives are far too prepared to compromise with others. You feel that ‘life back in my day’ was better than now (even if you are too young to say that) and think that far too many things change too quickly. You usually find comfort in the routine and familiar.

Ultra conservative? Uhmm, no. I am only moderately conservative.

ESTABLISHMENTARIANISM FTW!

I'm a progressive, apparently.

I like this test. It has a really good point that when determining your ideology, it's not your stances on issues that matter, but your reasoning behind them.

EDIT: formatting

I, apparently, am a socialist. That sort of fits me, but I tend not to support complete government control of the economy.

Posted: **Mon May 04, 2015 5:46 pm**

Equality 64, Liberty 86, Stability 29.

Little ol' centre right me.

Not quite--I'm not thrilled with the mechanisms that would be necessary to have everyone start with the same basic standards of living, though I do think that there should be a baseline that people do not fall out of unless they intentionally opt out. However, it's closer than usual for these things.

Would you agree with a universal income that allows more personal freedom in terms of how you live your life even when you're in tough times? This cuts Government red tape while still giving people opportunity to move up.

This is actually probably true, It's an Asperger's thing.

Maybe. However, it should be noted that this shouldn't be at the expense of housing programs, since rents where I live are significantly higher than in many other areas of the country.

It's not so much that they can't lie, it's just uncommon and harder.
