Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
Last did this about a decade ago and haven't changed. However being a dunce at linking stuff I won't even try. My coordinates were almost identical, on the right hand edge of the same sub square. Economic L/R -5.75 Social Lib/auth -5.85

Found the last test I did in 2013, and I’ve moved more to the left economically, and become more social libertarian - I blame Johnson & Truss…

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
I think my problem (as I too have drifted leftwards) is that while I believe innovation and enterprise to be a more effective driver of prosperity than bureaucracy, the politicians nominally aligned with that position are no longer even hiding their willingness to use it to enrich their mates. As I go through the propositions in the Political Compass test, I’m finding that I’m instinctively reacting against statements that are obviously aligned with these people.
Interesting side note, my downloadable certificate says I’m now to the left of Nicola Sturgeon, which actually isn’t as awful as it sounds - she is charted nearthe dead centre of both axes, which is clearly a contrivance to try to make the SNP cause appeal to everyone.
(Edit) guess I should paste up my results (not the complete certificate, which is the one full of caricatures of notable figures) …

Re: New Prime Minister: Liz Truss
She is a lying toad. Unless she overrules her Chancellor, she's stealth taxing us rather than putting more money into our pockets. I hope the press crucify her.
From the Torygraph:
Quote:
Average households will be £1,450 worse off, says IFS
She [Truss] said she would reduce the burden of the state to unleash growth. But despite Liz Truss's "tax-cutting" mini-Budget, a detailed analysis reveals today that the Treasury will impose an additional £21 billion of income taxes. The average household will be £1,450 a year worse off as a result of the stealth raid, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies. The typical basic rate taxpayer will pay an extra £500 in income tax and National Insurance per year by 2026, while higher rate earners are facing a £3,000 annual increase. The figures are based on analysis of the decision by Kwasi Kwarteng to freeze tax thresholds. As deputy economics editor Tom Rees reports, the so-called fiscal drag effect is likely to form a key part of a report by the Office for Budget Responsibility, which is due to be delivered to the Chancellor tomorrow. Last night, Fitch became the third credit rating agency to signal that the Prime Minister's tax cuts had put the UK at risk of a downgrade. Early today, the pound held steady against the dollar.
