Try these web sites:

This one is focused primarly on the UK election, and tries to find the political party you agree with most.
http://www.politicalcompass.org/
This is much more international in outlook and maps your political standpoint on a graph with which you can see how you compare to Stalin, Hitler, Thatcher, Blair and other despots.

That is a very interesting thing to do. I was quite surprised to see me quite far to the left and quite libertarian while I was thinking I would be quite in the middle! I am very close to the Dalai Lama and very far away from Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush - this is at least quite right. Cool site, thanks Des!

Isn't Librasulus just the same as Lord Order, or did I get that wrong? It's been awhile since I read the DM story...
I am not sure about Lord Chaos. After all, he keeps some of the races of his minions strictly apart - Screamers may only talk to Mummies, Worms, Giant Wasps and Slime Devils (and maybe Couatls, if we can assume that they can communicate through closed doors). Golems aren't allowed to have friends from other races! Seems quite fascist to me...

That Who Do I vote For? site is clearly biased due to the wording of the questions -- it encourages you to think a certain way.
For a more balanced version, try this one:

I had a tie between Green and Lib Dem. But I'm voting Labour coz I like John Denham and my seat is a straight fight between the big two. Of course we all know if we had Proportional Representation in the UK the smaller parties would get a lot more votes and there'd be a hung parliament every time. Hmmmm.....
I just tried the other "who should you vote for" site and it came out much the same for me with Lib Dem just ahead of Green.
For a more in-depth test try http://www.politicalsurvey2005.com/scripts/quiz
The analysis is rather spiffy especially the "scatterplot" graph.

I didn't say it was better, just more balanced!
As for the political compass, I'm somewhere very close to Nelson Mandela and Ghandi: Economic Left/Right: -5.75, Social Libertarian/ Authoritarian: -3.23
The "Who Do I vote for site?" said I should vote Tory. The "Who Should I Vote For?" site says I should vote Lib Dem.
I answered the questions as consistently as I could given the granularity provided. Go figure...

You got my vote Paul!
That's just because he doesn't know how to express his feelings! He screams of joy everytime someone visits him and accidentally slips out a fireball! He just never learned to do it properly, growing up all alone down there, the only company being Lord Chaos hovering over one of the holes in the ceiling from time to time... *sniff*

Des's new test says overall I am Lib Dem. Slightly.
So I have had every possibility so far, and I am sure I have input similar views into each. Infact, I would say I am pretty opinionated. It seems I take each point on its own merit rather than putting it under a heading to fit an ideal. Whether this is good, or bad or whatever, I don't know, but its me. Maybe I shouldn't vote.
The Dragon does have lots of shiny things!
Thought: its all a load of bollocks, isn't it?

Good stuff!
My vote will come down to the most important matter of tomoorrow (which is now today, as seems to happen at this time of night). That matter is a) What time I get out of bed. B) Whether I have cornflakes or weetabix C) Whether I can be arsed to walk to the polling station.
I suspect C will be the deciding factor, though the weetabix might spur me on to leave the house if A has commenced in a reasonable time.
