PM scores do not matter, but do you consider yourself to be a moderate, by your own definition?

I haven't read the article, but I firmly support Simfan's efforts to blame Lena Dunham for our society's rot.

Economically, yes. Socially, no. Overall, I would probably fit into the 'moderate category'.

On balance, probably. Though I do hold some opinions which by themselves would be considered out of the mainstream.

Economically yes, socially no. Overall I do not consider myself a moderate because I find myself consistently supporting conservative candidates over liberal ones in election match-ups.

No. While when mashed together into artificial averages (such as the PM) they usually are not too far from the center of the axes used, when considered individually they more often than not tend to not be the centrist position.

Overall, no, though some of my individual positions on an issue here and there I suppose could be considered "moderate" on another modern democracy's political axis aside from ours. I generally don't believe in moderate solutions to problems, though there are exceptions, so this isn't an ironclad rule for me.

I have some positions that are liberal, some that are conservative, some that are libertarian, etc. The average tends to put me in the moderate category, but I don't consider myself necessarily a moderate. In fact, I don't really know what I'd call myself, but sometimes just say moderate for lack of better term.
The problem with the moderate label is, there are two kinds it seems. The other kind is those who see to sides of an issue and just decide to choose whatever is in between for the sake of being a "moderate."

There's no such thing as holding a "libertarian position" on an issue, it's literally an all or nothing philosophy.

Within my own worldview, I am indeed a moderate, within the US political spectrum I am decidedly not.

Well there is a specific libertarian position on most issues, it just doesn't make you a libertarian to hold that one position.
