Bit surprised at how far libertarian I am, expected to be down their but maybe not that far. But on the left/right scale I'm where I expected to be at.

the test is flawed. for example
"A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."
well it IS a significant advantage. whether or not i think its desirable wasn't the question
questions like "Our civil liberties are being excessively curbed in the name of counter-terrorism." put words like "excessively" in there. what's "excessively" mean? and what if its not done in the name of counter-terrorism?
terrible
