perhaps after the U.S. Presidential election, we should have another more lengthy discussion defining the "world" political spectrum, as it is obvious our previous attempts have been a total waste of effort. :huh:

This is because its not a straightforward line, but more a Monster with tenticles stretching all over the place....

Just so-

Still, we ought to at least be able to address this annoying duplication of mis-applyed terms, yes?

For instance, as you&#39;ve agreed (I think), even that particular animal which is labelled here in the U.S. as a Democrat would be considered to fall to the right of your native conservative.

Here&#39;s an idea:

Perhaps it would be more useful (and easier to agree upon) if we bent to the task of plotting where, on a generic spectrum, our respectives countries fall, rather than any individual party or politician?

A good starting point, I think. ;)

Certainly would not be difficult to pin Scotland on such a spectrum. :)

I claim the middle for the United States of America, by my cunning use of this flag.

:D




Make believe I have a flag, ok? :huh:

Can we have a graph?

Give it a spin, Alex-

See what you come up with. ;)

If it doesn&#39;t work, it will go on the scrap heap where it belongs. :D

This flag, the subject of my make belief, is it ok for me to place about here.... in the middle somewhere? :D


A graph is good

Edit - One for the scrap heap I fear - it looked so nice too - I see this is not wysiwyg.

Ok, I&#39;ll bite.
What, praytell, is "wysiwyg"?

:huh:

What you see is what you get



A computing term I believe - although our IT people could have simply been messing with my head - they are a bit like that.

wysiwyg = What You See Is What You Get


They werent having you on ;)
