We've been doing this in our subforum recently, and there was some discussion in another thread. So let's see where Parliamentarians stand on the political Compass. I'll try and keep the top post up to date as well. Go here and take the test. Then post your result in this thread.

Overall HoC avr: -0.71 -4.31

NOTE: People who have not posted in the HoC in a long time have been removed for this analysis. I also removed anyone who has recently left their party where I thought their results would have changed.

Overall the HoC has moved 0.98 and -0.99, so almost a point both ways towards the libertarian right.

As you can see all parties seem to have become more extreme, leaving the centre holding the +/- 4 on both sides of the centre. Lets now compare this with the results from December 09:



Click The image above for a larger version

Quite a change. Lets look at just how each part has moved.

Conservatives: have moved (0.46, -1.23) since last time.
Lib Dems: have moved (-0.98, 0.46) since last time.
Socialist: have moved (-1.13, -1.50) since last time.
Labour: have moved (-0.22, -0.59) since last time.
Libertarian: have moved (0.65, -0.68) since last time.
Centre party: have moved (0.89, 0.07) since last time.
UKIP: have moved (3.74, 4.98) since last time.

UKIP have moved the most, but seeing as they only have two members representing them, and seeing as they have changed their name from UKIP, I think we can safely disregard this change for now.

Ignoring UKIP then the TSR Socialist party have moved most economically, having moved
just over a point back to the left. Socially it is also the Socialists who have moved the most, moving a point and a half further into the liberal end.

Party spread



Click The image above for a larger version

Now lets look at how spread out each party is;

• Conservative spread: 8.72, 11.56
• Lib dem spread: 6.87, 5,94
• Socialist spread: 2.26, 3.18
• Labour spread: 6.00, 9.49
• Libertarian spread: 9.35, 5.43
• Centre party spread: 4.65, 7.23
• UKIP spread: 6.0, 8.51

As we can see, the TSR Socialists have an amazingly small spread, with all entries falling in a very similar area. The TSR conservatives on the other hand have a very large spread, especialy on the Y axis. Their Y axis is the only one to reach a spread greater than 10. Economicaly however the libertarians have the largest spread, however they are fairly imilar on their Y axis.

Modified results

The centre can be fairly relative. what is left wing in one country can be considered right wing in another. So lets see what these results mean when compared with the HoC average. In other words where everyone is in relation to the average of the HoC. All results have been moved in relation to the HoC average.

Overall HoC MP avr: -1.98 -4.15

As we see, from these results the MP average seems to be further left and lightly less liberal compared to the HoC average.

Lets see how each parties MP average compares to their parties general average.

Conservatives MPs are 0.01, 1.13 compared to their party average.
Lib Dems MPs are 0.08, 1.24 compared to their party average.
Socialist MPs are -0.05, 0.13 compared to their party average.
Labour MPs are -0.07, -0.53 compared to their party average.
Libertarian MPs are -1.57, 0.82 compared to their party average.
Centre party MPs are 2.16, -2.72 compared to their party average.
UKIP MPs are -3.00, 4.26 compared to their party average.

As we can see, most parties are economicaly almsot identical to their party average. Of the three exceptions to this, two are small parties and the other is mainly due to Anony mouse having a centerist economic score, while being a libertarian MP.

Here is a graph of party MP averages.

[Aack]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.10

[tommm]

Left/Right: 4.25
Lib/Authoritarian: -2.46

(I'm an inactive Conservative.)

[Beckiemort]

Economic Left/Right: -7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67

The picture up at the top of the page scared me though, I thought I was right wing. But it turns out I am not.

[daniel_williams]

yeah Id rather not disclose mine because it does actually show my real political stance which I've managed to hide oh so well over the past few eyars of being active in the HoC

so for the purposes of this:

Economic Left/Right: 0.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.00

[SuperhansFavouriteAlsatian]

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: 7.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.54

[Lampshade]

Economic Left/Right: 5.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 1.64

(I would consider myself to be a libertarian).

[smalltownboy]

(-9.38,-7.28)

As I said in the Socialist thread, I didn't expect myself to be as far as -9 on the economic scale

[Bella_trixxx]

Left/Right 6.62
Libertarian/Authoritarian 0.31

[SuperhansFavouriteAlsatian]

haha, there's no way Al's gonna keep that OP updated!

[emmers1990]

I've done this test several times, and it's always roughly the same, although this time i'm slighty higher in authoritarian,

Economic Left/Right: -3.50
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.03

So i'm an lefty-authoritarian
On the international chart i'm like Pope Benedict XV1

[DayneD89]

Economic Left/Right: -7.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.05

Pretty much as I expected. Iv done many tests like this before. So I'm similar to nelson Mandela and The Deli Lama. Pretty good I think. I don't think these tests give a realistic representation, but they give a good general idea.

[Vesta]

Economic Left/Right: 2.12
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

Right wing economically and a libertarian. Nothing I didn't know already.

[Metrobeans]

Economic Left/Right: -5.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.03

[Alasdair]

(Original post by DanGrover)
haha, there's no way Al's gonna keep that OP updated!

I'm on the piss at the minute, but I'll try and keep it up to date for members of the house...

[Minardi]

Economic Left/Right: 1.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.22

Nothing suprising.

[dionysia1]

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -1.38

[ConservativeNucleophile]

Unsurprisingly...

Economic Left/Right: 4.88
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 2.00

ukebert - (-8.25,-7.18)

We could draw a nice graph of this
