Looking at others scores I seem to be the most right wing of the lot of you

I'm sure I got -8 when I did it on my phone yesterday but still in the same ball park.

I'm a little surprised to be here:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -2.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.41

Closer to the SDLP and the Green Party than anything else and almost opposite to the majority of the 'mainstream' parties. I just don't feel particularly strongly about the majority of the subjects discussed, although I am pro or con them all in some way.

Edit: Just carried on reading and discovered I am right between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama 8-)

I thought all the questions were frustratingly imprecise and all asking you to make, at one level or another, weak generalisations about what are in reality chaotic, highly inter-dependent systems. I thus abandoned it in the belief that its results would, ultimately, be irrelevant to anything.

I am apathetic in terms of national politics, and 100% focused instead on tractable issues such as human trafficking, child and domestic abuse and gender equality.

Those are the issues I care about, and I think the solutions to those problems are so fundamental that everything else could pretty much take care of itself.

I don't care about how an arbitrary group of ambitious people is choosing to advertise itself this week, the difference between the Tories and Labour, left and right, feels like an old record that's left playing in a forgotten attic room while everyone is sitting in the living room still faintly listening to it but no-one likes the tunes any more.

Everyone needs to realise that we don't have to sit here listening to it play over and over again to itself any more. We have global communication, instant sharing of thoughts culture and ideas, we can leave the house, create political parties consisting of experts who have devoted their lives to gaining expertise in their fields, rather than simply expert wafflesmiths who have been merely chucked a bone in the latest cabinet re-shuffle.
