Rhian,
Nah, what I meant was that Liberalism was the first "Big Idea" followed by Socialism and then the third positions of the 1930's, Fascism and the New Deal, they're all over and done with, all we've got now is people who don't really hold to a solid position and just pick and choose elements of all three as and when they need them.

Hadn't seen it, Rhian… I know it's ego, but I think my axis labelling is inherently more descriptive.

Nonetheless, I completed the compass test – whilst thinking the question phrasing and response options inadequate – to find the result put me shouldering aside Gandhi and the Dalai Lama!

Consequently, I am only wearing a bedsheet loincloth/toga as I type this. Thanks for that.
