Well I took it and it was interesting but the questions dont allow enough subtlety. For instance. I dont agree that government should control TV but I do believe TV should be regulated and consider a publicly owned non profit making oganisation like the BBC, funded by licence fees which are paid by anyone who wishes to own a television ( by law) are a good thing. It's a little like paying a TV/radio tax and having a tip top service thats available to all because of it.
I dont think that politics can be reduced to science alone, i think there has to be room for political philosophy which is rather more difficult to address with a quiz which simplifies so much. Interesting though *smiles*
When I said you guys have a different political spectrum I think really what I mean is you have a different set of cultural assumptions when it comes to your political identity. When I hear an American express a view of one issue it's often no indicator as to where that person might sit on a different issue. With another Brit I can usually take an educated guess based on their responses to one or two issues, more or less where they are likely to stand on most others.
