Political grid

Andre experiments with a Maltese political grid and finds himself positioned on 'the Centre-Libertarian-Left' of the political spectrum:

I’ve come across this site which lets you find out where you stand on the political spectrum. After I’ve done my own rating (which I marked on the chart in gold), I’ve decided to try the rating for others; Malta as a nation (the box with the national colours), two associations and the four main political parties. You might disagree with some results, and you might disagree with some conclusions; but here is what I thought is the Maltese political spectrum grid;

Malta is slightly more to the left than the Nationalist Party, but yet it still remains more conservative than the PN – with religion still highly influencing public opinion. However, economically most people like their subsidies and therefore are slightly more to the left - although the majority of self-employed, and people in the middle-high income brackets are definately more right leaning, and these outnumber all others..

..The most far-right party remains Azzjoni Nazzjonali – although I believe they are more Conservative than that. PN still remains conservative, but I believe it moved a bit more to the right in the past four years or so. MLP can definitely no longer be considered as a party of the left – especially in recent years, but given the current situation I doubt they even know themselves whether they’re on the left or the right. Alternattiva Demokratika is a party of the Centre, and is undoubtedly the most libertarian political party Malta has...
