[ QUIZ ] - The Times - "Are you a Mussolini or Mandela?"
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/section/0,,20929,00.html
Find your political colours during the election with Times Online.
Answer 16 questions and see how your views compare to those of the major parties, well-known figures and your friends.
Read through each scenario and click on the answer which comes closest to your opinion.
There are no right or wrong answers, but you can see where you stand on the spectrum after each response.
At the end of the game your total will show where, and next to whom, you stand.
Although it's primarily meant for British people, and was actually meant for during the 2005 General Election, I don't see why it can't be taken now, and can't see why it can't be taken by non-Brits too.
So ... where do YOU stand?

Slightly Left. slightly Libertarian, Centralist
Though he's not on the 'map' I'd say it'd be close to where Jon Stewart would be - except I'm a lot less funny.Former Webhost... now, just a guy.

I wouldn't imagine that that's terribly far from the truth actually, well my lcoation on the grid i mean. I was about the same distance to the right as the little Tory roset, although my dot was 2 inches further north mind, so not an exact match. It's not that i follow a purely moderate or centerist line on over issue IMO, i do on some but then there are issue like the EU and immigration where i am definetely to the right, and others go in the opposite direction so they balance eachother out in the end i guess.
But heym it's only a multiple choice quiz.

Honestly I thought I would have scored higher on economy than social. Guess I've become a softy.Patron: I'd like my free lunch please.
Cafe Manager: Free lunch? Did you read the fine print stating it was an April Fool's joke.
Patron: I read the same way I listen, I ignore the parts I don't agree with. I'm suing you for false advertising.
Cafe Owner: Is our lawyer still working pro bono?

Some of the questions seemed to reflect the author's bias, and I didn't like some of them.

It placed me close to Reagan (which is pretty close to my views).
