Now, I've had some ideas about the form this country might take, as follows:
In America (for example) the people vote only once every four years, or every two years if you count mid-term elections. You call that a democracy? That's a pitiful amount of citizen involvement. I call on the citizens to be able to directly vote on a wide variety of issues, thr ...[text shortened]... country, with free movement between the two based upon their graph score.
Any comments?
Wouldn't having any sort of power at all shift you towards the right wing per se?
Originally posted by scottishinnzThey could assume power by falsely posing as a left winger, but in order to remain in power they'd have to continue to be a left winger. Any shift to the right would adjust their graph in that direction and make them ineligible for continued leadership.

Having someone in power would be anathema to an anarchist system, but not necessarily all left wing systems.

Originally posted by rwingettWell, okay. I'll take that on the chin, but come on - I've changed. If death doesn't change someone, what does?

OK, it's very 'buggy' but I've knocked up a new political compass
graph.
This one should let you enter your own scores.
You can either drag the smiley to the spot or enter the values
in the boxes.

Things to be aware of.
1) After you click submit your entry has been submitted even though
your name doesn't appear above the smiley. You may have to close
and restart your browser to see the entry.
2) If you make a mistake you should be able to delete entries using
the window at www.odbo.co.uk
I will try and sort the glitches out so please try not to break it.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungSorry, I think there's another bug with inputting the numbers :-(

I will sort it out this evening.
Meanwhile it's best to just drag the smiley to the values.
AThousandYoung, I've remove that point for you if you want to
try it again.

So far your the only one with a positive number on the Soc and even
yours is almost a negative. I cannot imagine the type of answers
required to be a high positive on that.

Originally posted by Thequ1ckI can't seem to get mine in position. When I click submit it moves my happy face back to the center. Even using only keys didn't seem to help. I guess I'll wait for you to fix it. You can erase my smilies if you want; one is positioned correctly but lacks my name (-1.4, -4.6 approximately) and the other is still being dragged around freely. I don't know if you can even see it - that is, if it's been submitted or not.

EDIT - Never mind. I just had to refresh the browser. I hope the smily that I can move around appears for everyone and isn't "officially" on there.
