    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>A couple people on <a href="http://wiki.clug.org.za/wiki/CLUG_IRC_Channel">#clug</a> were updating their <a href="http://politicalcompass.org/">Political Compass</a> scores, which prompted me to jump on the bandwagon and do the test. I came out with the following scores.</p>

<p><strong>Economic Left/Right:</strong> -4.38<br />
<strong>Social Libertarian/Authoritarian:</strong> -2.21</p>

<p>I then thought that it would be interesting to compare everyone's scores on a graph, so I wrote a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)">Python</a> <a href="/files/clug-political.py">script</a> to get the scores from <a href="http://wiki.clug.org.za/wiki/Spinach">Spinach</a> and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnuplot">Gnuplot</a> <a href="/files/clug-political.p">script</a> to plot them.</p>

<p><img src="/files/clug-political.png" alt="CLUG Political Compass" /></p>

<p>To add yourself to the graph, tell Spinach your score in the following format. The graph is regenerated every hour.</p>

<p><pre><div class="geshifilter"><pre class="geshifilter-text">cocooncrash.political_compass is -4.38 / -2.21 (2008/09/14)</pre></div></pre></p>
