Political Party Platform Comparison

“http://www.lp.org/issues/platform/compare/

this is a fair test to see where you stand on the political front. You will be ranking stances on various issues. These stances are direct quotes from each parties platform. Only issues mentioned in every platform are included. The parties stance do not appear in the same spot on the screen for each issue.”

“I forgot to post my results last night

You preferred the Democratic stance for 4 issues.

You preferred the Green stance for 2 issues.

You preferred the Libertarian stance for 1 issue.

You preferred the Republican stance for 0 issues.”

“You preferred the Democratic stance for 2 issues. Democratic Platform

You preferred the Green stance for 1 issue. Green Platform

You preferred the Libertarian stance for 3 issues. Libertarian Platform.

You preferred the Republican stance for 1 issue. Republican Platform.”

“Why do people feel they need to classify themselves and be a slave to a label? If ya don’t know where ya fall in the political spectrum chances are ya shouldn’t be participating in politics.

It is nice to have proof Ewker’s a liberal though. No more denying it. LOL!”

“so nigal did you take it. I want to know what the heck is the green party?

BTW, I never denied it. I vote for whom I think is best.

still waiting on Nigal's results or is he playing with it so it comes up equal...lol

“I was pretty surprized I agreed with the libertarians as much as I did.”

“No, I didn’t take it. Why do I need to? I know what I believe and that’s how I vote. I don’t need anyone telling me where I am on the spectrum. Besides, the test is so wildly inaccurate. It is basing your ideals on the comments made by other people. There is no control or baseline to it. It’s your opinion based on another opinion.”

“Nigal, is worried he might be a closet liberal ;)”

“Nigal, it's not a normal political spectrum test. It's a blind comparison of the different parties' platform theses.”

“The liberal platform:

“You preferred the Democratic stance for 1 issue. Democratic Platform

You preferred the Green stance for 2 issues. Green Platform

You preferred the Libertarian stance for 1 issue. Libertarian Platform.

You preferred the Republican stance for 3 issues. Republican Platform.”

“You preferred the Democratic stance for 4 issues. Democratic Platform

You preferred the Green stance for 3 issues. Green Platform

You preferred the Libertarian stance for 0 issues. Libertarian Platform.

You preferred the Republican stance for 0 issues. Republican Platform.”

“Nigal, even Stovestomper took it. He is a republican with some close thoughts towards the green party.


It is a fair test based on the 7 party stances. I do wish it would tell you which one is which after the test”

“Liberal

I must say that its pretty easy to figure out which platform was for which party simply on the use of language. It still is interesting stuff though, thanks Ewker.”

“The highest possible rating is 700.

The highest possible rating, given the importance you assigned each issue, is 350.

“It depends on where one places the political "center".

lyra, there are even protestants in my background!!”

“I did the LONG form.. which although I hoped would provide "more informative results" only managed to further convince me that I'm a VERY confused individual.

So I went back and took the SHORT version just to see if it made anything clearer:

You preferred the Democratic stance for 3 issues.

You preferred the Green stance for 1 issue.

You preferred the Libertarian stance for 0 issues.

You preferred the Republican stance for 3 issues.

Alas.. I obviously like riding the fence. (go ahead, take your pot shots.)”

“Dang! TD is both a dang Liberal AND a dang Conservative! ;-)”

“Wasn't that weird??.. I really thought I KNEW who I were.”

“it is hard when only 7 issues are being given.

I took the test the first time but had on my pop-up stopper so my results didn't come up. I had to retake it. I pretty much tried to remember which ones I had selected.
wonder what would come up this time?”
