I’m Barack. No surprise there as we both strongly approve of 1970s Conan the Barbarian comics.

Wonder why Corbs isn’t featured in the populist left… :thinking:

Bernie boy here.
Some of the questions probably need tweaked for an NI audience though e.g. ‘Nationalism’

1970s Conan the Barbarian comics are bullshit for dickheads who think capitalism is fine and cannot understand why people would have a problem with it

The axis are different

I’m apparently very, very left-wing. Nearest is Pablo, but that’s like living in Carmarthen and claiming to be on the outskirts of Cardiff.

“The power of a few special interests prevents our country from making progress”

Fucking irked that agreeing with this makes you a populist in anything like a similar sense to people on the far right who say it. The statement is obviously true but when people on the far right say it they’re lying about jews, trade unions, whatever.

Has anyone bothered to go on and take part in the actual survey?

No me neither.

Another vote for Davidoff Cool Pablo for me.

What survey?

Same as this. That said it said I was most close to him but then there is still a five honeycomb gap

free market = small or no government intervention in a market place, allowing the market to make the best decisions for everyone.

The idea is that markets are super efficient in a way a government isn’t and will automatically make the best decisions.

An example being something like:
If we don’t have a minimum wage a business can pay what they want, but if they don’t pay a good wage then nobody will take up the job so a business needs to pay a good wage and the market has just regulated itself because nobody out there will work for a low wage…

Sorry this is a bad and verrrry basic explanation I’m still in bed.

Innit. I get that they wanted people to complete the quiz and have it be quick and easy but 20 Questions and saying ‘you should spend time understanding the people’ or the one you identified makes you populist…?

There’s a link to one at the bottom of the results page. Doesn’t work for me it turns out.

I haven’t thought it through very much* but suspect the very idea of populism may be bullshit

*because it’s quite uninteresting
