Some of the questions I don't understand... others I don't either agree nor disagree with, yet have to make a decision... probably why I end up with different results each time I take it.

OK, so how do I get my result onto that chart someone has knocked up?

Oh I see.
Economic Left/Right: -3.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 0.36
That puts me to the LEFT of the middle! How can this be?

What do you see? You asked how to add your result to the graph: go to the old one and type your name and scores in at the bottom, after which you have to share the new link.

I'm using that.
Boris Johnson faveo quod eum optimus est. sed non Ken Livingstone faveo, quod stultissimus est. iacet. Ken Livingtone stultior quam Nick Clegg est.

KEN'S UNFARE DEAL
Ken Livingstone has pledged to cut fares, but is this a true indication of both Ken and his support? The choice is for Londoners - Ken wants to improve things in the short term but it would be ruined in the long term. To cut investment for the much needed tube upgrade plan is criminal, and in 2016 all the lines (bar 3) will be upgraded, meaning quicker times. This fare increase is justified and only reflects the increase in the quality of service, with a single bus fare only rising by 5p. The most expensive tube ticket will rise by just £1.00 (from £17 to £18).
Boris' tube fare increase is a good idea and in fact is actually less, as a percentage, then the journey times decrease on the Metropolitan Line, the longest line, which has four station out of five outside of the M25 (the other one is Epping on the Central Line). Journey times will have been cut by 34% in 2016 and the new S Stock trains will have a capacity increase of 25%. Combined with new timetables, this looks set to bring an amazing change, and, naturally, the fare must reflect the quality.
So the choice is yours - Shabby tube but lower fares, or better tube and higher fares.

I want a faster tube so I can beat the current world record!
Typo fixed!
