 | | The site was created out of a belief that the old political formula of left versus right, represented by a single horizontal line running from liberal, on the left end, to conservative, on the right end, was an inadequate model for determining people’s actual, real-life political beliefs. |
 | | So, the Political Compass’ creators added a vertical line to the horizontal one, distinguishing between liberal and conservative economic policies along the horizontal axis, and authoritarian and libertarian social policies along the vertical axis. |
 | | Should you be interested in checking your own orientation on the Political Compass, and if you feel comfortable with sharing what quadrant you landed in, feel free to send us an e-mail at pvn@perc.ca. |
