  A lot of political stuff is based on economy, and since I dislike the currency based economic systems a lot of these questions just don't work. I took the test with a salt mine.

  I'm not surprised. This test sux more than I expected.
  
  Looked up the Vote Compass for CBC again:
  
  Their system is pretty cool; it mass analyzes the responses people give and generate cool data, such as this distribution of peoples' opinions about whether wealthy people should pay more income tax or less income tax:

  [S]Kinda funny, shows you where the lazy people live[/S]. \o/
  
  This one was funny, too--apparently Quebecers (LOL) are more scared of the environmental damage allegedly caused by oil sands mining than the people in Alberta (where the mining is actually taking place, essentially in their own back yards):

  These were taken from the studies done during the 2011 Canadian Federal Election. If interested, you can browse here: http://votecompass.com/results/ca-2011/
  
  ------
  
  I thought I'd take the test based on the Ontario elections, since it's still available here: http://www.cbc.ca/elections/ontariovotes2014/votecompass
  If you're gonna take it, you can skip the optional questions after the initial 30.

  For American comparison:
  PC = Sort of like the Conservatives, except perhaps less extreme
  LIB = Sort of like the Democrats, except also less extreme
  NDP = The lol-party for lazy people who want a lot moar gov handouts, moar taxes, unions, etc
  GRN = same thing as in the US

  I learn something new every time Yoorah posts.
  
  Because rich kids that inherit their parents money without ever lifting a finger and use it to party all day aren't lazy, but people who think your taxes should be based on your income are.

  "Our race has many superior qualities, compared with other races."
  
  Sounds more like a racism test.

  Seems like everyone is in the same quadrant.

  Which raises the question why all the elected officials seem to be on the opposite side...

  Interesting to note that most all of us show up on the bottom left

  or this test is rigged, that's a possibility.

  i did this test again only choosing conservatively (expect for the blatant sexist/racist/homophobic/superior religion questions) and only got a 2.0 in authoritarian
  if you manage to score more than that, i have to question ur way of thinking
  economy was 9

  On a sidenote it's interesting to find out that Denmark and all other Scandinavian states are apprently filled to the brim with lazy bums.

  That doesn't even make sense. Taxes are based on income and no one has been suggesting otherwise--the question was whether wealthy people should pay more or less than they do currently.
  
  You're right on the money, though; the NDP is quite popular with people who don't work and instead live with their parents.

  I'm pretty sure I would get banned if I replied to that the way I want to, so I'll just ignore you instead.
