I want to hear your honest answers.

no bashing, just your impression of the difference in ideologies.

trevorwoulddoit, showed a diagram of the political spectrum. His representation is that of a circle. I believe the best way to map a political ideology is on a 'compass'. Here is a rough example;



I found this site that has an online self political assessment you can take that can map you on this compass. Yes, the test is somewhat crude and basic, but give it a try and see where you end up.

^Yeah, there was actually a huge thread on here where everyone took that little test and posted their alignment in coordinates. It was about 2 months ago, I think.

^^Yeah, I took that not to long ago. It's interesting becuase that is an International Political Compass. It differs from the US Political compass in that the Y-axis is further right in the US Political compass. So an international moderate is an American liberal. Anyway I ended up somewhere below the Dalai Llama.

i am going to take this down to the provincial level, how many liberals have taken a province out of debt? none. the liberals at the federal level spend millions of dollars of evryones hard earned cash on their own personal vacations. the conservatives would probably invest that money and do something constructive with it, like reducing the debt and eventually turning into a surplus.

Provincial liberals (BC Liberal party) is actually ridiculously conservative. It's just a label.

Conservatives end up wasting away in log cabins in Montana shooting at postal workers. Liberals end up wasting away selling bongs in some crazy lady's new-age herbal 'medicine' shop.

I too am going to take this one step further. Early polls show 9% support for Alberta separatist, 20% Liberal and like 60 or something Conservative. Take that Onterrible.

When I was young, I asked my parents what the difference between Democrats and Republicans were. They told me, 'Ethan, Democrats care about people. Republicans care about money.'

My answer is that I think the major force in compiling the mandating factor in the question of what not only the systematic but also definitive differences between those in our current political idealogies as the right wing conservatives and the left wing liberals is not so much something that can be said in the larger sense of everything that is seen, but rather something else known to many as something which may be might something sauntering down the hallway, as much I believe that the real conclusive difference would have to be a matter of not personal reflection, but of cult suicide more so than the economic system of Turkmenistan as it would be a surreal epitome of not only what our founding forefathers, but also what they wiped on to pieces of paper at the party, however not even so much of such an occupation, for it is known that they were in the habit of using parchment, higlighting the problems that arose with the implementation of the Stamp Act, wherein causing expensive shits.

When the hell did that political compass post come about? I took it... I was -4.75 and 1.85... My dad always said I was a communist, although I always get labeled a conservative republican, hmm... Maybe that's why I can relate with any of our presidential candidates... I seriously hate the 2 party system we have going in this country.
