I reckon the leaders of each party should take the political compass (http://politicalcompass.org) test according to their party's policies, and post the results.

Economic Left/Right: -2.00

Actually, there's one with UDCP members (here (http://udcp.11.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=6&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15)), so maybe that could be averaged out to calculate the party's position.

Well, if a significant number of parties post their results here, I can create a diagram.

Do you mean the Democratic Socialist Party (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=418666)? You don't appear to be the leader of that party. I'd rather not post the results without the leader's consent.

Yeah, I did not start the pary nor am I the leader, but I did contribute a lot to the party and thus this is some valid point until the leader arrives (The Odd One)

It would probably be better to do a party one seeing as my answers for that differ from the stand of the party, the party being a much stronger form of my own views.

UDCP party average

Economic Left/Right: -8.60
Social Authoritarian/Libertarian: -7.31


we don't have a specific party leader, but if we did it would be Aridd, so

party leader:

Economic Left/Right: -9.13
Social Authoritarian/Libertarian: -6.82


take your pick :)

Not what I had in mind, as it's supposed to be results according to the principles of the manifesto, but I'll add your average anyway.

Answering according to our manifesto, and guessing for the points that are not relevant to our manifesto I got

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 9.25
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.97

Which puts us pretty much on top of Milton Friedman.

I would like Vittos Ordination to take the test from his perspective as he is the founder, I am merely a saecretarial type person. We could then average his result with mine.

My personal result is in my sig.

well the manifesto was contributed to and discussed by all/most UDCP members on our forum and here, so its perfectly acceptable to take the average of all the active, contributing members' compass scores as the manifesto score

The MRR is

Economic Left/Right: 6.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.38

I would like to say, however, that because there wasn't an option for states/districts/etc. to decide, my results are skewed.

My personal score is in my sig. I haven't got the time to take the PC test right now, but if forced to estimate, I would say:

Economic: 5.00
Social: -5.00

I would say that the results from AB's test using the manifesto represent a party that is far too libertarian. Even Kervoskia isn't that far.

That sounds like a good estimate.

Yeah, that result was past me on the economic area by less than a point.

I agree actually. I said it seemed too right wing.

I agree with Economic 5.00 Social -5.00

So that is where we are at.

Wow, didn't see this one coming. :eek:

Economic Left/Right: 0.00

Yes, it seems I'm an absolute centrist. Yays for me. Since Zeth and I are pretty much the only two full members of the MRR (I suppose that would make me his vice-woteva :D ), it would probably be accurate to average up our scores in order to determin the MRR's political compass rating. Sooo, if Zeth's ratings were: Economic Left/Right: 6.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.38

Then, averaged out with mine, it would make:

The MRR's New Rating

Economic Left/Right: 3.07
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.69

I think Neo-Anarchists was referring to parties standing in the election.

However, i do feel that the party of order will be a conservative party or probably a right wing dictatorship party.

They both appear to be tongue-in-cheek parties.

Well, my party isn't really getting a lot of notice, yet (apparently you're supposed to introduce parties at a specific time, did not know that) but when it gets added to lists or supported next election or whenever the list recycles and people vote again, my party scored:

Economic Left/Right: 3.38
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.92

Also, I find this test (http://www.okcupid.com/politics) to be much more accurate at determining political stance compared to many other political tests I've seen and taken, including the political compass, although it is geared towards Americans so it wouldn't work for many on this site. My score there was:

Social Moderate: 41% permissive
Economic Conservative: 60% permissive
Best Described As: Centrist

Anyway add my party as "The Party of Peeple That Can Spell Corectly," if you want, or I'll wait until next time. Look up my platform if you want to check us out.

Yea, you can rank with Hitler and it will say you exhibit a very well-developed sense of right and wrong. The description is generic. The sector you fall under and your permissibility in each area are what matter.
