Tried all the tests and I'm Liberal (Always voted that way, never voted anyone into office!)
Any thoughts on wether elections should be about the people trying to be elected rather than the party they represent (or not as the case may be)?

It's a nice theory...look at the man instead of the party...but generally, the man's ideals tend to represent the party's. Otherwise, the party wouldn't have nominated him! So in the end, personal belief systems always go hand in hand with elections.

The link appears to be broken for the second site.

The first one is interesting as it seeks to pigeon hole us as either liberal or conservative which is as good a set of blinkers as I have seen for some time. It is of the opinion that I am a liberal (small L presumably) but that I am more conservative than the wee Kennedy and Jesse Jackson. So … nice try but no banana.

The other point to note is that it is aimed at Capitalist New Englanders, one question would answered very differently if you were a liberal foreigner to that of a liberal national.

On the quiz at Quizilla (Tiel, you have to do some fidgeting with the link. The front bit with the http:// reads a little wrong. You just have to delete a bit to make it work.) I am fuscia. I'm to the left of moderate, right at the liberal notch, without extending much toward the red end of the far-left.

I can't get the first one to work yet. I had to download a plugin.

I am a LIBERAL according to the second quiz, which is completely weird. I generally associate myself with conservatives. Maybe the reason is because of the language used in the quiz. I am neither a "fundamentalist fanatic" nor am I a "godless humanist."

yeah the second one is really just for fun. Its options for replies are too easy to pick which is conservative and which is liberal and which are extremes.
