Political axes

Here are my results for that political quiz (via nostalgia_lj, ramtops, burkesworks and no doubt loads of other people I haven't got to yet).

Unsurprisingly, I'm hanging way out there on t'left, though less so I think than I should for the second axis. I'm less than happy with some of the questions and the assignment of values to their answers: issues are conflated on which I hold contradictory views. For example, any question on the free movement of jobs or of labour has to be answered in the context of imbalances in power, economic wealth and social conditions between countries and the corporations that straddle them. There are so many distortions and inequities around that it's impossible to answer a single, unqualified, question with any accuracy or honesty.

The axes of measurement seem arbitrary and oddly chosen to me too. I can't see either why a social axis like rehabilitation<=>retribution is joined with internationalist<=>Eurosceptic or, even more, why economic principle and the Iraq war are associated.

Whatever. It's still interesting.
