Where do you stand on Australian politics?

The Oz politics blog has a nifty political test here, which maps answers to the positions of the various Australian political parties. It should come as no surprise that, were I in Australia, I would likely vote Green or Democrat - or that I come out as 94% opposed to "traditional values". And they didn't even ask me about flag-burning...

It would be nice to see a New Zealand version of this, though Australia is fairly close in some respects, and at least its different from the traditional Americentrism of such tests.

The New Zealand political spectrum II

DeepRed has updated his political compass scores for NZ's political leaders (by way of comparison, the original is here):

He's added a lot more politicians so you can get some idea of the political "range" of at least some of the parties. Interesting points:

• ACT's Muriel Newman is the third most authoritarian on the chart, after Winston Peters and the National Front's Kyle Chapman; and
• Don Brash is more Libertarian than either Rodney Hide or Richard Prebble.

Update (25/06/04): DeepRed has updated the graph, adding a number of former Prime Ministers. Robert Muldoon was practically a Stalinist, and Don Brash is more extreme than Roger Douglas. Actually, the latter ought to scare us all...
