1) Should abortion be legal if the mother's life is not in danger and the mother is over 18 years of age?
I don't see what the mother's age has to do with the question... nor why the fetus' age is not mentioned in the question at all. Seems a relatively artificial place to draw the line between a pro-life and a pro-choice position (and one that forced me to vote "maybe").

Cool Should the US have a hand in helping to create Democratic governments?
Define "have a hand", please. Also, define "create", and who decides what's "democratic", anyways?

9) Should the government financially assist corporations under any circumstances?
I suppose this means "are there any conditions in which the government should financially assist an individual corporation"? (There is a different take - understanding "any" as "all" - but it doesn't really make sense.) Seen in that light, who would vote no?

10) Should a flat tax be implemented? (Same tax for all)
It's not the "same tax", it's the same income tax rate.

18) Should the government impose stricter standards on emissions created by automobiles and factories?    
No. Except perhaps closing some loopholes (not sufficiently knowledgeable on that). But it certainly should have stricter rules on what happens when you don't abide by them.

19) Should the government have restrictions on International free trade?
Strange wording issue again.

For all that, I got a hilariously partisan result:

Labour 24%

Conservative 35%

Greens 85%

LibDem 52%

UKIP 66%
Graph of results from quiz

Recommendation: You should support the Green Party.
The Greens are a left-wing party who are best known for their beliefs about environmental issues. They are pro-civil liberties and legalisation of drugs, and believe in wealth redistribution - many former Marxists are now Green Party members. The results of this quiz only tell you how often you agree with each party, but it can't tell you which are the most important issues for you. You should therefore treat this result as a guide only.

Rather odd social score. Guess it must be the whole libertarian view I have on gun rights.

You Scored as Anarcho-Communist

Anarcho-communists seek to build a society based upon a decentralised federation of autonomous communes and a moneyless 'gift economy'. The movement first emerged in the late 19th century and has had a large influence particularly in Spain, Italy and Russia. Key thikers include Peter Kropotkin and Errico Malatesta.

Anarcho-Communist    
   85%
Anarcho-Primitivist    
   75%
Christian Anarchist    
   50%
Anarcha-Feminist    
   45%
Anarcho-Syndicalist    
   30%
Anarcho-Capitalist    
   15%



32 on the Insaniac Purity Test.



Political Spectrum: You are a left social libertarian.
Left: 5.41, Libertarian: 5.42. Much the same territory as the Compass or the Matrix, then. Unsurprisingly. -8.08 Non-Interventionist and -8.29 Cultural Liberal, though.




Socialist?

You scored 93 Equality, 57 Liberty, and 21 Stability!
You are a bit difficult to classify. You may well be a Socialist. Your greater than average commitment to equality may make you more of a Utopian Socialist. On the other hand your secondary commitment to liberty may make you a Progressive.
Your Analysis (Vertical line = Average)

      Equality Distribution

      You scored 93% on Equality, higher than 94% of your peers.

      Liberty Distribution

      You scored 57% on Liberty, higher than 25% of your peers.

      Stability Distribution

      You scored 21% on Stability, higher than 6% of your peers.

Conservative/Progressive score: 9
You are a social progressive. You generally consider yourself a humanist first. You probably think that religion and patriotism go too far in society. You probably consider yourself to be a citizen of Earth first rather than a citizen of your country.


Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 3
You're a Capitalist Purist. You believe that the market should be completely free, and that the invisible hand of the market will make sure that the people get what they want and will do it in the most efficient way possible. You believe in small government, less taxes, and more privatization.


Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 0
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.


Pacifist/Militarist score: 3
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Hardcore Libertarian

Conservative/Progressive score: 4
You are a social moderate. You think the progressive movement is overall well meaning, but sometimes it goes too far. On issues like abortion and affirmative action, you see the negatives of both extremes on the issue. You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government


Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 9
You're a Social Capitalist, you think that, left to its own, Capitalism leaves a lot of people behind. You think that Health Care should be free to all, that the minimum wage should be raised, and that the government should provide jobs to all that are capable of having them. You likely hated the Bush tax cuts, and believe that the middle class has gotten poorer, and the rich have gotten richer over the past several years. The far extreme of social capitalism is socialism.


Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 3
You are libertarian. You think that the government is making way too many unnecessary laws that are taking away our innate rights. You believe that the government's job is primarily to protect people from harming other people, but after that they should mind their own business, and if we give the government too much power in controlling our lives, it can lead to fascism.


Pacifist/Militarist score: 3
You're a Pacifist. You are angered that the United States thinks it should dominate the world through its military force. You think that the only time war is necessary is when we are in direct danger of being attacked. You also believe the US spends way too much of its money on defense, as we can practically cut it in half and still easily defend ourselves, and use that money to fix all our economic problems.

You probably value religion, but at the same time you think it should still stay separate from the government



Capitalist Purist/Social Capitalist score: 4
You are a Moderate Capitalist. You support an economy that is by and large a free market, but has public programs to help people who can't help themselves or need a little help. Pretty much you believe in the American economy how it currently is.



Libertarian/Authoritarian score: 6
You're a Moderate. You think that we all have certain inalienable rights that must be protected, but that sometimes laws need to be made to protect the majority's lives or quality of lives. You might think that the 2nd amendment isn't necessary anymore because letting everyone a gun is extremely dangerous to the community. You might also be against illegal drug use or public pornography because of its possible harmful effects to society.



Pacifist/Militarist score: 5
You're a Moderate. You think that in very rare occasions, the United States should invade a country in order to make the world better by spreading democracy or ending a tyrants rule. You also think that defense is very important, and we shouldn't lower the defense budget. You think that, while the Iraq War probably was a mistake, that we can make the world a better place by sticking with it and spreading democracy in the middle east.

Overall, you would most likely fit into the category of Moderate

The questions are very reasonably well put, but it's obvious from the result options that the person who made it has no clue what the Democratic Party is like.

A score of Prog 11, Social Capitalist 9 (he falls into the opposite error of the BPQ test here. That calls anybody not a Corporate Stooge a "Socialist". This one avoids the word like the plague), Libertarian 2, Pacifist 2 may make a "Hardcore Democrat", but it's just as likely to make a disaffected leftist. And it certainly doesn't make anybody remotely like Bill Clinton and John F Kennedy, two of the three people pictured (Jimmy Carter is somewhat more reasonable... or would be if it wasn't for the Progressive score, anyhow. Especially given that the picture shows the President Jimmy Carter, not the current Jimmy Carter.)

(Yes, that was my result.)

Just give them a junk email if you don't want to get anything.

I got an 85/100, but I think I might've misread one question.

Pacifist/Militarist score: 10
You're a Militarist. You believe that since the United States has so much power in the world, it has a responsibility to keep the world safe. You think that if the US does not exert its power in the world, it may eventually lose its power, and that we can not look weak in the face of terrorists, and must take them out where they live.

Total Libertarian
You scored 51% economically responsible, 80% self-destructively free and 65% expressively free.

Rules only hinder progress! Free market, free speech, free bodies!

Economy (conservative): The government shouldn't baby individuals through the predictable storms of supply and demand. The system will naturally readjust itself to problems without government intervention. Furthermore, imposing arbitrary rules against success is actually unfair as it ignores the hard work of the successful.

Personal Freedom (liberal): If it only involves me, what right does anyone have to tell me no? A person should be allowed to be as stupid and harmful to themselves as they want, and letting the government go in, imposing majority morality, is dangerously tyrannical.

Expressive Freedom (liberal): This is a free country, isn't it? Why should my voice be silenced, just because you don' t like what it has to say? If I can do it in private, I can do it in public. You're always free to leave. Hampering a person's right to free expression is dangerously tyrannical.
