I just love strong government. Where can I go to get it? Helengrad and Tonygrad. Helluva choice, really!

Here Senate members are elected by the people's voteVery educational thread as per British and Canadian political structure! Originally, the US Constitution provided that state legislatures would elect Senators, but in 1913 the 17th Amendment established the direct election of Senators by the people. Thanks be...as if we didn't already have partisan rancor enough!

Well that was fun. Now, instead of a glib one-dimensional categorization, I've got a glib two-dimensional categorization.
Economic Left/Right: -2.65
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.61

Yah - interesting result:
Economic Left/Right: -1.02
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -4.92
Never thought I'd be seen as having any relationship with Robin Cook!

For what it's worth economic =-1.02, libertarian/authoritarian= -3.66
There don't seem to be any politicians near me at present, although Robin Cook was quite close 5 years ago. Presumably he has been corrupted by the spoils of office in the meantime.

Well, since musick is pressuring me in PM and I'm sure you're all dying to find out where I stand, I guess I have to show you.  I took it three times to see how consistent I was and they were all fairly close. I was rather surprised with the results, but I have noticed that my political views have been fluctuating recently. So here's where I stand, at least for now: Economic Left/Right: -0.41 (that's right on the line on the graph) Authoritarian/Libertarian: -3.04 I'm still not quite sure what abstract art has to do with politics . . .
