I dont have time to do the test now, but for me, the perfect govern would be

It's impossible because it's an oxymoron, socialist governments by definition steal from people.

Here's me. Less libertarian than last time.

I don't like that quiz... many of the questions are misleading; most are slanted toward a liberal answer. Example: "If economic globalisation is inevitable, it should primarily serve humanity rather than the interests of trans-national corporations."

And of course there's the one that always makes me go WTF. "A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system." That is a statement of fact, not opinion. One-party states avoid arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system. Fact. No opinion necessary. The question fails to ask you about your opinion on a one-party state.

I dislike this quiz as well, some of the questions just made me wonder what the writers were smoking.
