Where are you on the politics scale?

Over on Poll Bludger a few posters were talking about a politics quiz on the excellent site, Oz Politics. It's a fun activity that gives you a bit of a guide about which political party best represents your values, both socially and economically. It only takes a couple minutes to do (if that), so have a go.

You don't have to register or anything - just have to give yourself a name at the end, though it can be anything anonymous if you want.

My score was as follows:
Party preference

Greens: 65.9%
Australian Democrats: 80.1%
Labor Party: 75.5%
Family First: 64.2%
Liberal Party: 62%
National Party: 53.8%
One Nation: 41.1%

Which is about right I think. I never voted for the Democrats, but I am certainly more on the left side of the ALP than the right (on some things). Glad to see One Nation came a distant last!

The other scores were:

Political outlook
Your broad political orientation score is -18.4%, which equates to a ‘Centre Left’ position

This is pretty spot on.

Economic policy
Your economic policy score score is -5.3%. This equates to a ‘Centre’ position

Again, about right - I am actually more Centre when it comes to economics than I am with other aspects of politics (no doubt a hang over from my Bachelor of Economics days).

Social policy
Your social policy score is 1.1%. This equates to a ‘Centre’ position

Which means I don't really think the Govt should interfere in the social lives of people, but it's not a strong belief. Again, about right, I guess.

Traditional values
Your traditional values score is -18.2%. This equates to a ‘Centre Left’ position

Apparently this means that I think the state should not overly intervene in the moral lives of its citizens. Again largely true.

Anyhoo, it's all good fun, and might make you think a bit about who you vote for and why.
