[Here.](https://britmonkey.com/2020s-political-compass/)

It’s interesting in that it’s “vibes-based”, and a lot of the questions are about general attitudes toward life rather than specific political issues. It says that the politician whose views most closely resemble mine is Zohran Mamdami, which is certainly reasonable. Give it a whirl and see what you think.

75% woke 25% chud

53% techbro 47% neo luddite

47% hope piller 53% doomer

61% davos 39% dubai

Apparently that makes me Mamdami.

Love it

I got Pope Leo. I had mostly similar numbers to DigitalC and Dorjan but was more hopepilled - makes sense looking at the source html Mamdami is pretty similar to Leo except he’s neutral on hope/doom where Leo is positive.

It thinks I am Rishi Sunak (former British Conservative Prime Minister), about whom I know little, but would have thought that I lean more libertarian than almost any successful British pol.

Well, if you describe Rishi Sunak as “successful”, you clearly do know little about him! 😄

Very interesting test - thanks, **T.F.**!

Result as to my actual views:

63% Woke  
59% Neo-Luddite  
83% Hopepilled  
86% Davos

It says I’m closest to Joe Biden, which sounds about right, although I admire Barack Obama far more among recent Presidents.

Then I took the test again, purposefully answering the extreme opposite of my actual views, where applicable, and it came up:

92% Chud  
72% Techbro  
50-50% Hopepilled-Doomer  
73% Dubai

And that meant… Charlie Kirk. Ugh.

I found a few questions where I wanted to pick two answers, usually at opposite ends of the spectrum. For example, generative AI is both useful and making society worse. Mainstream news outlets are both telling the truth and lying, depending on which outlet you mean.

I was 55% doomer; I expected to be much higher.

He may not have been successful as a Prime Minister (he lasted less than two years), but just getting to that position means a lot more success than most ever even aspire to.
