Political Compass

I was having a discussion with my mate last night about where we think we stand politically speaking roughly, the sort of conversation that stems from a few beers and putting the world to rights. This reminded me of the Political Compass, so I thought since we have a few more members here now it might be interesting to see where we all stand roughly or perhaps more interestingly where you think you stand. According to the test there I am: Economic Left/Right: -5.62, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.69 which puts me a little to the South-West of Ghandi however I can't say I totally agree, generally I feel the state should not interfere with a persons actions as long as you aren't hurting someone else and you are free to do whatever you want provided you can pay for it but the state should support those who cannot support themselves.

How about anyone else?
