About Me

Hi, my name is Neil, I'm 23 years of age, and I am currently studying for an Astrophysics PhD in Asteroseismology at the University of Birmingham in October 2006.

Political Compass.org Results[1]:

Economic Left/Right: -5.50

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.67

Am I left or am I right?

• Equal outcomes (left) versus consistent processes (right).
• Redistribution of wealth and income (left), or acceptance of inequalities as a result of the free market (right). [In the sense that I believe in a fundamentaly level playing field - i.e. wealth shouldn't really be inherited, as such].
• Whether the government's policy on the economy should be interventionist (left) or laissez-faire (right).
• Support for widened lifestyle choices (left), or support for traditional values (right). [Are they really incompatible?]
• Whether the state should prioritise equality (left) or liberty (right). Both the left and the right tend to speak in favor of both equality and liberty - but they have different interpretations. [I believe in economic equality (well, in terms of equality of opurtunity) and social liberty... if that helps!]
• Whether human nature is more malleable (left) or intrinsic (right). [Not sure, I believe that even if it is malleable, then it is not the place of governments to manipulate it!]
• Whether the government should promote secularism (left) or religious morality (right).
• Collectivism (left) versus individualism (right).
• Support for internationalism (left), or national interest (right).
