Quite far to the left of Obama, and a number of steps down. I didn't count.

One right of Sanders and two up.
Although one of the questions was 'Conservatism' which I read as environmental protections and not 'slow, measured change'.

I'm most like Amlo, whoever the fuck that is and least like Trump. Given that I'm far away from Trump, I'll assume that's a good thing.
This was my exact position as well.

This quiz is stupid. What the poop does it mean that I "strongly agree" with the existence of "left-wing people" ???
And there's a BIG difference between "Government officials use their power to try to improve people’s lives -- AGREE" versus "Government officials should use their power to try to improve people’s lives -- AGREE". Plus, saying you "Strongly Agree" that " [Your local] Government officials use their power to try to improve people’s lives" would lead to very different conclusions regarding your support for populism depending on whether you live in, say, the Faroe Islands versus the Philippines. Except not to this quiz since those are both part of "the rest of the world".

Seems like this Amlo guy is a righteous dude we collectively seem to align with.

I'm in the upper left quadrant but not near the corner, 4 down and all the way to the left wall from Pablo Iglesias.
They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Everybody is least like Trump
I don't think Trump is even remotely correctly placed in their grid, either.

Progress isn't a straight line, because there is not alignment of opinion, interest or direction.
So you have 7 billion people towing a massive object with ropes, but they are not all the same strength and do not pull the same direction.
There are certainly a number of troubling indicators for the immediate future based on current events. How those resolve and are reacted to will then set up what happens next.
The World Wars and Cold War were in many ways a dark period, but there was still progress during those years, and the resolution of those conflicts shaped the progress that followed.
So I guess I am saying that if you thought we were moving to a fair, representative 'one world' state where war was obsolete and rights universal, then we are indeed moving backwards, But I'd say it is not and never was getting to such a goalpost. Things are messier and slower than that.

Tatts early in SH game: Hmm, so if I'm liberal I should have voted Nein to make sure I'm president? I'm not that selfish
Tatts later in SAME game: I'm going to be a corrupt official. I have turned from my liberal ways, and now will vote against the pesky liberals. Viva la Fascism.
When Venge's turn comes, he will get a yes from Mess, Dolmen, Nevyn and Venge but a no from the 3 fascists and me. **** with my Government, and i'll **** with yours

Three hexagons down from Pablo Iglesias, least like Trump. But overall, that was a really bad 'quiz' in the sense of testing ones actual political ideology.
(Also do you guys not actually know who AMLO is, he's the recently elected president of Mexico, pretty far left, and a 'populous' in the sense that he actually cares about people, but that didn't stop the American media from trying to paint him as the Mexican Trump)
(Also populous is a terrible term that doesn't really mean anything, and is utilized by liberals to create sense of political unity between far-right people who are anti-immigrant, racist, reactionary, and anti-capitalist on those grounds, and far-left people are pro-immigration, anti-racist, progressive, and anti-capitalist on those grounds, where none exists)

Huh. Well, this being The Guardian, I guess the prevalence of the left shouldn't be that surprising.
Yeah yeah thread necromancy. Sorry.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
