IF you are a candidate that isn't listed, please PM me so I can put you on the chart.

Fascinating. 

I wonder where Naso is on that chart or whether his scores would just blow it up with "vigor and decisiveness".

Am I the only one who thinks Philip is a bag of lies?

EDIT: Nice graph, by the way. Very clear and well-made. Smiley

He's dead center, of course.  Remember, he's a moderate

Is it me, or is KEmp more radical on economic issues than Lewis (I know, for social issues it's opposite).  KEmp is supposed to be the moderate candidate though.  According to this, he's not very moderate.

KEmp has always said he was an "Economic Conservative and Social Moderate".

I know some who'd say I'm more economically liberal than my score shows.

Yeah, Bono doesn't look right either (socially).

Well, the questions aren't, Do you favor repealing the Bush tax cuts? or Would you support a large increase in education spending?

Bono doesn't look right economically either. I want to know which far right economic positions he didn't strongly agree with.

This is important.  I think all Atlasians should look at this.

As a general guide to the candidates' views this chart is excellent.  My only concern is that it will be an extension of the 'voting by avatar' problem.  The political compass, though flawed and sometimes prone to producing wildly inconsistent results, does not tell you how competent a candidate will be.  I think we should just take this chart into consideration, and make our actual decisions based on the qualities of the candidates.

What particular questions form the basis for KEmp's economic score? You'd think he's running for President of Hong Kong.

My scores have changed slightly, so you may want to update that. Of course, it wasn't much of a change.

I'm next to Phillip? Argh!

Also King, i believe your spot n the chart is a bit misleading-whereabouts would the aggregate of your last three be?
