According to that quiz I'm a social democratic Cosmopolitan ... and I thought cosmopolitan was just a cocktail.

Cosmopolitan - 37% [as opposed to nationalistic]
Secular - 15% [as opposed to fundamentalist]
Visionary - 18% [as opposed to reactionary]
Anarchistic - 23% [as opposed to authoritarian]
Communistic - 25% [as opposed to capitalistic]
Pacifist - 24% [as opposed to militaristic]
Ecological - 18% [as opposed to anthropocentric]

-looks all these words up-

you just want to chew the fat a post is a post good bad or ugly!

I didn't support AV Shaun no, I am in favour of PR but I thought AV to be a poor step on the road to it.
I think the first past the post delivers stronger Govt but not much in the way of consensus Govt. I would support PR in a future referendum on the issue.

Also having said all that,I regret not supporting AV now, not that it would have come into effect anyway being so soundly beaten and I can see the point you are likely making that it would have been a step towards a better PR system and as you point out, likely would have created a better environment for censensus politics to thrive more.

A social liberal (i.e. do anything you want so long as it's not hurting anyone else) but definitely not a market one...I'm anti-capitalist.

I hate privatisation and I dislike how powerful the private sector is. I think capitalism only exploits the working class and is a system which will only continue to widen the gap between rich and poor. I also think the concept of meritocracy is an absolute myth. All spoken like a true Marxist I guess...and I've said it before on here but I'm fascinated by his works and theories so far from what I've learnt, so yeah. And I'll take the test in a bit.

Down with the bourgeois :p

Bit more 'cosmopolitan' and pacifistic than that, and secular should be at 100%, but otherwise it seems pretty accurate.

Then why post anything?
There are lots of threads I have no interest in, and I'm not bothered about.
It is not a big deal, just seems unusual josy :)

The test tells me "You are a Social Democrat"

Wiki says "Social democracy is officially a reformist democratic socialist political ideology. Social democracy supports legal entitlements in social rights for citizens. These are made up of universal access to public services such as: workers' compensation, universal health care and universal education, and other services such as child care and care for the elderly. Social democracy is connected with the trade union labour movement and supports collective bargaining rights for workers. Contemporary social democracy advocates freedom from discrimination based on differences of: ability/disability, age, class, ethnicity, gender, language, race, religion, and sexual orientation."

That's me, near enough ..... :idc:

Oh it said I was a cosmopolitan Social Democrat, wouldn't have thought to describe myself as that but when I googled it I found a description from this guy saying it means "promoting the rule of law at the international level; greater transparency, accountability and democracy in global governance; a deeper commitment to social justice in the pursuit of a more equitable distribution of life chances; and the regulation of the global economy through the public management of global trade and financial flows", which I do sorta agree with
