Even the cartoonists are joining in.
MY POLITICS AND YOURS: Here’s a diverting little quiz. It asks you all sorts of economic, social and political questions and then plots your politics on a little graph. It doesn’t simply go right to left. It also measures you on a libertarian/authoritarian axis as well. Some of the questions need far more context and are way too crude. But the exercise does help show how our new politics has to be thought of outside a crude right-left paradigm. I’m fascinated to know where my readers end up, but don’t email me to let me know. I’ll be flooded. The scores run from – 10 to + 10 on the economic left-right axis; and – 10 to + 10 on the social libertarian-authoritarian axis. No surprise that I’m in the economic right/social libertarian box. I’m slightly more economically conservative (+ 6.25) than I’m socially libertarian (- 4.10). And the box I’m in is the least populated there is.
