Their latest 'analysis' of the 2016 election is pure cancer, only amplifying the negative aspects of their website: https://www.politicalcompass.org/counterpoint-20161110

This is insanity on par with Jfern levels of nuttiness. I won't say there's no value to this analysis, but it's hardly objective and it comes across as a rag soaked in oil fit to start a fire. This is truly the nutty side of the left.

I much prefer GoToQuiz's 4-dimensional Political Matrix anyway.  That one is junk and mostly focuses on issues that aren't part of the political discussion at all.

Political Compass was never on the rails. Still, its always good to get a reminder how terrible their opinions are.

It's just overly dramatic.

There is a massive change going on, but few purveyors of the English language are capturing it well.

The planet has gone trump-insane with these really strong opinions about someone who has not even had their first day on the job.

Yes. You have to agree with some terrible sounding things to be a conservative in their eyes. Their  political views seems to be that the more corruptly pro corporation you are the more conservative you are.

So my country - the one with perhaps the most socialistic healthcare system in the world - is the most economically right-wing.

Seriously, this thing was a joke when it decided that the BNP was to the left of Labour and it's no less of one now.

     Given that they are convinced almost everyone is right-wing authoritarian, it's little surprise that they'd be fans of Jill Stein, as these comments suggest.

I'm a right-wing libertarian, but they put me to the left of almost everyone, while still calling me right-wing.
