When will the results be up?
[QUOTE=AnnieOakley;52048508]When will the results be up?[/QUOTE] I have 26 responses so far. Maybe it would have been best to have this in GD?
submitted.
Done and done. I wouldn't mind doing a more detailed one, more effort than usual seems to go into these
So far [t]http://i.imgur.com/byrukX0.png[/t]
The fiscal and social areas are garbage. But at least the rest is better done
Yeahh the first thing that comes to mind with 'left wing' fiscal planning isn't central planning
Surprised there are no ultra-fascists yet.
[QUOTE=matt000024;52049658]Surprised there are no ultra-fascists yet.[/QUOTE] Hang on, I have to take the poll still [editline]2nd April 2017[/editline] And there we go
some of the options say too much and it makes it feel slightly bias
[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;52049867]some of the options say too much and it makes it feel slightly bias[/QUOTE] In what way? Also: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/9eDSWde.png[/IMG] I tried removing examples for social and fiscal leanings because I felt they weren't that great and there is quite a lot of overlap, but the damn thing added them as new, separate questions. I'll probably create another one, this time spending more than just half an hour.
ones like "Minorities should be given the same rights, however discrimination has always been a normal part of every culture and it always will be." could be "Minorities should be given the same rights" and "I do not care much for the rights of minorities, I am indifferent and it is not my problem." could be "I do not care much for the rights of minorities, I am indifferent" or even "I do not care much for the rights of minorities" or the one about immigration being healthy, but in the same option it says illegal immigration is fine, I think these two could've been two options for example, I wasn't necessarily choosing these options myself but I could see why one might agree with some of what's said but then see a part that makes it sound more dickish than they were imagining/intending. I just feel they should be shorter and not have additional sentences that might discourage choosing them from guilt
[QUOTE]Minorities should be given the same rights[/QUOTE] :happy: [QUOTE]however discrimination has always been a normal part of every culture and it always will be[/QUOTE] :wideeye: Why did you add that second part? I don't think minorities should be explicitly protected by law but that's because I hope that their rights should be protected the same as anyone.
I'm all in favor of social consequences against hate speech, but I question whether it should actually be illegal ( provided it doesn't incite violence ). People have a right to their opinions, however dumb they are. They just need to be prepared for the consequences ( nobody wants to hire a blatant neo-Nazi, etc. )

I'll shorten them and make them easier to understand next time I do this. They were rushed and poorly written.
submitted, felt this way waaaay easier to answer over "are you liberal or conservative"
Should be an "Either/Other" option, since I pretty much fall mostly to none of these.
I found the poll to be too-biased and incorrect. Eg if you're fiscally centre-right, you are certainly not an adherent of the 'third way' nor a classic liberal/'libertarian'. Those are centrist/centre-left and far-right, respectively. And laissez-faire as being centrist? I don't think so. And who would align themselves as being a corporatist? Corporatism is entirely a derogatory term.
Filed and submitted. It'll be interesting to see the results after this has been up for a while.

Surprised everyone is so divided on immigration.
Done, new one should be in GD
Done
I think positive discrimination is ok in some circumstances (like the board for transport for london being all white male - they don't often experience common issues like groping or racism ) but you grouped the answer with homophobia and racism being illegal?? illegal though? thats some 1984 shit

[sp]I'm not a fan of positive discrimination tho, i more see it as a sloppy solution only to be used if alternatives aren't feasible[/sp]
This poll is decent but the questions are definitely leaning towards the left when it comes to assessing the poller's guilt about them. Try to remain more neutral and objective in the questions
So are you revising and re-releasing it at all? Or is this it
