It is purely down to your own judgement of course, thus we may well get Siege (by my scale a 12) seeing himself as a centrist, but in our own self-identification, from 1 on the far left to 10 on the far right, it would be interesting to see how we place ourselves.

I disagree with the whole left and right simplified scale.
What would be far right for you?

No even economic models can be measure in an stristraight line. Take free market capitalism. To be really free it needs to be protected from monopolistic capitalism, and all other forms of concentration of capital. At the same time, it needs to be protected from government intervention, over taxation, and hungry politicians that redistribute the capital from wealth creators to welfare recipients as a modern form of buying votes.

Free market capitalism is very fragile and is under constant attack from all sides. Therefore to me free market capitalism is the center, welfare state is the left, command economy the far left, unregulated market the right, monopolism of state the far right.

Oh, and by he way, I voted four.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Do we really have six people that are between 8 & 10?  :hmm:

I gave myself an 8, though my '8 is obviously different from yours.  ;)
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Beeb said he's a 10.  Veep said he's a 10.  Seeb, if he voted, must be a 10.  Speesh has to be at least an 8.

Saw Beeb's post.  Did not see Veep.  I'm definitely farther to the right than either of them, so I declare their 10s to be null and void.  I am the only 9 thus far.

Well Tamas, you, dps, Viper, Yi, Habs

There we go.

Well the 1s are pretty weak 1s.  Sheilbh talking crap to the Greens for being too insane doesn't sound like a far left nutcase.

Over the last decade I've probably gone from a 6.5 to a 5.

To the extent that a single axis can really describe an overall political ideology, anyway.

On social issues I am probably a 2.

I agree with his 7 tbh. Guys like Yi and Tamas are never on the "convert gays" or "landmine the borders" bandwagon. Hell, even Hansy has his limits there.

Also, I think you put yourself too far to the right Valmy. Just living in Texas doesn't give you an extra point or anything.  :P

I favor land mines on the border, backed by company sized reaction forces to liquidate the foriegners.

AM I SERIOUS? You'll never know. BWHAHAHAHA
