Left libertarian. Just like I was in 2013 and 2016. You can take the test for yourself on the Political Compass website.

When I did the political compass test in 2013, I posted the result on my blog. The idea was that years later I could re-do the test and see how things had changed.

Three years have now passed, and here is my new result:

I’m slightly less libertarian than I used to be, but not by much. The big swing is from a very centre position to a mid-left position. I’m actually surprised that I haven’t lost more libertarian points since I embraced the nanny state, but apparently, it is possible to be a social libertarian.

I’ve done the political compass loads of times over the years, but I thought it would be interesting to see how my views change over time, so I’m going to post my result here for reference.

For comparison, here is a bunch of political leaders mapped out too. Click to enlarge.
