Politics and Party
Political parties are guided by ideology.
Like all modern nations, Canada is governed by one or more political parties.
Political parties are a relatively recent invention and none are more than a
few hundred years old. Most are organized around political and social
principles—an ideology, which guides it in everything it does. Most of Canada’s
political parties believe in a balance between the powers of the state and the
rights of the individual. They support some form of capitalism and the kind of
parliamentary democracy we currently enjoy.

I was close to the NDP Party, close to gandhi. I think think it was true because I agree with the views of the NDP Party.
JK
I am closest the the New Democratic Party and I completely agree with where I am because my general beliefs match with the NDP but i do believe in discipline. AT
On the first test "The political Compass" I was closely in lined with Gandhi. Which means I am between Communism and Libertarian. I am Happy where I am placed on this grid. On the Quiz where I am placed with a party I am most compatible with, I placed Liberal with 87%. My least compatible party was Conservative with 64%. all of the parties are very closely tied. I am little bit surprised by this result be cause I thought would be told I am more compatible with the communist party, because that is what I was told in my first test.
K.B
I am strongly a left-wing libertarian, I am not close to any given leaders, and my ideas most closely align with those of the NDP, and least with the conservative party; my beliefs are very similar to all except the Conservative and Christian Heritage parties. -SB
I am Social Authoritarian and close to nobody. I am 84% NDP and 60% Conservative. I feel like I am liberal but guess not.

I am 94% Liberal, I am closer to Gandhi on the graph. I am also closer to communism and I'm a social Libertarian. AR

On the Canadian Election Quiz I was 88% Liberal with NDP closely behind and 82%. My least compatible was Conservative with 46%. I am surprised because based on the first test I was closely lined with the NDP not Liberals.

According to the "Political Compass" I am closely aligned to Gandhi, and I am considered to be mostly Liberal (84%), followed by Green, Conservative, and Libertarian next (69%). K.T
On The Political Compass Quiz I was half way to the left and down one square. I was very close to Ghandi and am happy with where I was placed. On the second quiz I was 83% Liberal but could have been New Democratic. My least likely party was Conservative and I agree with this because I feel like I most support the Liberals views and ideas.

On the political compass quiz I was slightly to the left wing, I was fairly close to Gandhi. I agree with where I got placed. On the second quiz, I was 92% New democratic and 91% Liberal. I agree with this, because I agree with what they are striving for. My least compatible party was Conservative with 27% which actually surprised me. -JV
