Your Political Compass

I'm a slightly left leaning libertarian apparently. It always gives me that. I would actually have put myself as a slightly right leaning libertarian.

Confirmed lefty liberal!

Some surprising results so far, although the usual suspects haven't posted yet.

I'm pretty much the same as the OP. I definitely feel like I lean to the right these days, whatever that means as it depends on the subject matter. My political compass results and whodoisidewith put me left of center though. Despite my reservations with Labour that's who I voted for as I wanted my vote to be most in line with my views, even with my concerns.

My natural and past tenancies are to vote Labour, these days i really would rather vote for Jacob Rees Mogg, Labour are far too much about social engendering, this includes dividing people by social ideas, gender and wealth and using the state to force people to conform to their ideal, so for example they would form policies based on the idea that White males are the most privileged in society while Radical Muslims are the most oppressed and afford them enforceable benefits to redress their perceived imbalance, if you are against that you are are a racist, never mind that Islam is not a race, it is a religion and a political ideology, look at the problem the Labour party have with anti-Semitism, another form of White Male Oppression they perceive is against Woman, i'm all for equality of opportunity, treating Woman the same as Men, what the Labour party want is equality of outcome, there is a very big difference, equality of opportunity affords Woman the same rights as Men, equality of outcome denies Men rights where equality of opportunity is perceived not to guarantee 'the desired outcome' so for example the Labour party are very big on trying to get 50 / 50 Male - Female political representation, they know more Men are likely to stand for election and more Men are likely to get voted in, so their reaction is, and they actively do this, is to ban Men from standing in some elections, to me that is utterly insane, i don't want the best Woman, or the best Man, i want the opportunity to vote for the best person, if that results in more Men than Woman in politics so be it.
Given the opportunity i feel Labour would force the same discriminatory systems into our employment in the name of equality of outcome.

I don't like a lot of Mogg's policies, but for me he seems to be the best of what's left of sane politicians right now.

I also like Mogg but don't agree with him on everything, Like his ridiculous religious views on abortion etc. However he has said those are his personal views and would not be something he would look to push politically which is respectable IMO.
 
This ones pretty ambiguous:

It’s a sad reflection on our society that something as basic as drinking water is now a bottled, branded consumer product.

I mean, is it asking me to agree/disagree that it's sad that some people can't afford a bottle of water? Or that it's sad that some idiots pay money for something that comes out the tap? :P

I dunno what's so sane about knowing you look like a mustacheless Hitler and still thinking it's a good idea to copy his hairstyle :P

An alternative opinion: Jacob Rees-Mogg isn’t old-fashioned, he’s a thoroughly modern bigot
 
Rees Mogg is about as far from any Labour policies, past or present, that you can get.

I don't understand how anyone in the past who has voted Labour could see him as the next sensible choice.

I think it was Jordan Peterson that I heard it from but wasn't there a correlation between peoples political leanings and whether they were considered creative or orderly? Quite an interesting point as anecdotally this seems to be the case among many people I know.

This was my point also and I thought of this very question.

In a resource plenty country with a welfare safeguard then I don't see the problem selling water if it creates more jobs however in a poorer dysfunctional country then more controversial.
