Some of the questions could be phrased better, but overall it's OK.

I landed dead smack in the middle of the grid.
Is one still allowed to refer to commentators on the ABC website in that way, Stui? :lol:

Sorry, if we're talking about commentators you're correct.

What was I thinking, I humbly apologise for using the word "interesting". Mea Culpa.

Don’t want to nitpick and I know this stuff is always relative, but it’s a weird diagram. For one thing, the Greens are further from the centre than One Nation (no offence to the ABC, but if you think the Greens are the most extreme left you can possibly get ... you might need to get out more). For another, I think you could make the case that One Nation are actually at least slightly economically to the left of the Coalition. And lastly, it scored me closer to bloody Labor than the Greens!!!! :cry: :lol:

It is relative and based on perspective. Lets just assume that the socialist alliance and the white supremacists are off that grid. :wink:

Watching little Bill and Sco mo on the hustings on the news tonight.

It takes a big effort to make Sco Mo seem charismatic by comparison, but little Bill does it effortlessly.
