Default A Practical Political Test

There is an excellent but relatively little-known political test on the Internet that measures simple opinions about American political issues. You can also rate the issues as "high", "medium" or "low" in importance or simply choose "no opinion". The higher your score on each of the two axes, the more conservative you are. My score is 47 (out of a possible 100) on the non-fiscal axis, making me a "centrist" on non-fiscal issues and 12 on the fiscal axis, making me a "strong liberal" on fiscal issues. Here is the link:

I don't know much about Irish politics, but I do know that Europe tends to be left of the United States.

While I'd be probably to the left of US politics economically , (you people are to the right of Maggie Thathcer) I slightly surprised on the on Non-Fiscal ones.
