I felt that too. It was as if they were trying to coax you into answering a certain way.
Anywho, I was by Nelson Mandella. Except about two points to the right. I don't have the exact coordinants but yeah.

SEXY McAWESOME TO YOU, MISTER
Certain questions are badly phrased, I agree. The above one (Which is blatantly a true statement.) could do with revision. Also, I don't like: "Controlling inflation is more important than controlling unemployment." at all. I don't want either to be controlled.

Not as far as I used to be, apparently.

Libertarian because I'm socially liberal, I suppose.

I disapprove of the idea of a one party system because it is not conducive to society in anyway for the exact reasons Chemical stated. However, the wording of the statement itself is annoying. I suppose it depends on the points of comparison. Of course I agree it would be more desirable to have a multiple party system, but you cannot deny that a one party system does in fact have the advantage of less argument concerning policy, which is what the question asks.
I just have a problem with the way the question is presented. I understood it, but I don't think it's nearly as clear as it could be.
Also, I don't think I've changed. I don't know if the old version of this thread was purged with EoTW, but I want to know if I've moved significantly.

Whatever.
I've already taken it. I'm pretty centrist - around 0.

What I expected. Small-government (what used to be "conservative") libertarian. I'm about 3 points to the right of what I used to be a year-and-a-half ago. Must be getting old. "If you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart, and if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no head."

This said, I don't have much of a stomach for politics, real politics these days is little about the actual economic and social ideals, and more about getting continually re-elected.
Aristotle also said that society should be ruled by the philosophers, because everyone else was too stupid to do it, so I think we can discount most of his political suggestions.
EDIT : ...Or was that Plato? I can't remember, those Greek philosophers talked an awful lot of bunk in between their rare nuggets of wisdom.

The one-party question is true by the way - even though a one-party system would be bad, it's true that it's quicker
