A SelectSmart.com® Selector
By Douglas Dowell (Search Google for other selectors by Douglas Dowell)
Most political quizzes are geared to an American audience. ''Liberal'' means left, ''Conservative'' means right, and a whole range of European positions don't exist. This selector is intended to rank political philosophies and their subsections for you in European terms.
In order for this quiz to work properly, answer with the longer term and general principles in mind.
In other words, if you believe in the abolition of the private sector, answer on that basis even if you have a thousand-year timescale in mind! For those who wish to know my bias, I came out as a ''social liberal''.
