EFBP

Economy · Freedom · Belonging · Power

Four dimensions. One clear profile.

Politics is more complicated
than Left and Right.

Move each slider to the position that best describes what you believe. There are no right or wrong answers.

Economy

Who should control wealth and essential services?

3Mixed

Public provision and private enterprise should have roughly balanced roles within the economy.

Freedom

How much should society regulate people's personal choices?

3Balanced

Personal freedom is important, but society may legitimately impose a moderate range of rules governing behaviour.

Belonging

How wide is your definition of “us”?

3Mixed

Diversity is accepted, but preserving a common national culture is also considered substantially important.

Power

How should political power be distributed?

3Balanced

Political power should be constrained, but elected leaders also need substantial freedom to govern and make decisions.

Estimated public profiles

Closest EFBP coordinates

See which current politician has the smallest numerical gap from your four coordinates. This is an editorial comparison of positions, not a judgement about overall politics, character or morality.

Estimated

Calculating…

0 pointscoordinate gap

A close coordinate match is not an endorsement or an equivalence. EFBP does not measure a person’s conduct, competence, methods, impact or morality.

Public profiles

Select a profile to inspect its basis, evidence, uncertainty and sources.

Actions take priority over words.

Government and voting records are considered before manifestos and speeches. People without a governing record are clearly marked as platform estimates.

Read the scoring method

These are transparent editorial estimates, not scientific measurements or self-assessments. Four coarse coordinates cannot express political severity or historical consequence. Estimates may change when better evidence is found. Last reviewed .

Historical context

These profiles need extra care

Historical rulers are kept separate from the automatic closest-match result. Sharing one or more coordinates with them does not mean comparable beliefs, behaviour, methods, harm or morality.

EFBP’s four scales are too coarse to represent atrocities or historical consequences.

Private by design

The idea

Why EFBP?

Traditional Left and Right labels compress many political beliefs into a single scale. The Political Compass improves on that with economic and social axes. EFBP separates four questions so that personal freedom, belonging and institutional power are not treated as one thing.

E

Economy

Who should control wealth and essential services?

From public to market.
F

Freedom

How much should society regulate people's personal choices?

From personal liberty to social control.
B

Belonging

How wide is your definition of “us”?

From open / pluralist to exclusive / tribal.
P

Power

How should political power be distributed?

From distributed to leader-led.

Not a score. Not a tribe.

Your EFBP is a compact description of your political outlook. The numbers are not added together, and there is no highest, lowest or correct result.
