I don't understand very well the other chart.

I calculated it based on the average difference between liking each candidate - I know it's less accurate than doing it frain by frain or by themes - but this has better work:worth ratio.

You should friend japan77.

The margin of error is 37 percent, and that's if we assume the sample was random, which it wasn't as the internet and warlight may tend to attract people with some specific stances in many political views, so it's probably much higher then 37.

27*

The margin of error depends on the confidence interval. I used one of 95% (most polls use this one).

Margin of error at 95 %: 0,98/sqrt(N).

This formula will give us a margin of error of 37 percent if we have N=7.

Oh, well, 90% was good enough for me; frankly, 80% should be good enough, for this casual poll.

(also, wrong myself - 32%* with 90%, mistyped something in the calculator).

You are good with stats, did you used to be in the stats clan?

No, I just did maths at school xD. I know how to apply the formulas and understand well the concepts.

Religiously, it is part of West Europe.

Politically, either.

As defined Geographically, either.

I was Conservative, but a very Centrist one. Which seems to fit me.

As I learn more and more about how the heck the US works, Republicans seem a lot more logical than I before thought.
Since I grew up in a Democratic state (Connecticut), I always thought/slightly enforced "Democrat= good". Then I believed that most Republicans were just greedy religious people.

I seem to be a Centrist, as other polls I have taken show me as a Centrist, but closer to the democratic views. Ah well.

West is not a religous or politic adjector. Just geographic. And it is in the east, not at all in the west, geographically.

If you take Russia out of the picture, Czech is slab dap in the middle of Europe, and Czech has been viewed as "west" and "east" in different time periods. So yes, cultural and political aspects do have an impact on which "side" it's on, since it's really in the middle.

If you take the east 1/3 of Europe out of the picture, well, yeah, maybe then. But otherwise, it's undeniably east.

if you put russia in the picture, then geographically, czech is on the western half of Europe. but as i was saying earlier, its kinda like australia/NZ, these 2 countries are considered "western" even though there on the east half of the world.

I definitely do not think of Australia nor Aotearoa as west. Since they're very much in the east.

I think the west is more of a political force than a geographic force

No, west is one of the 4 directions on a compass.

The West-East division made at greenwich doesn't make any sense. It's too relative...

The true definition of the West-East division comes from the division of the Roman Empire:





So, to say France, Italy or Germany are eastern countries, it's a bit false...

I think the East-West political separation/division is a bit arbitrary and entirely irrelevant. A better separation of Europe would be North-South, each having distinct cultures, climatic conditions, and historical developments based primarily on the South's location along the Mediterranean Sea.

Jai, you run into the same problems there. Is France North, or South? Hungary? Slovakia? Croatia? Switzerland? Romania? Bulgaria?

What's that supposed to mean, too relative?

The true definition of the West-East division comes from the division of the Roman Empire:

Well, there was the West Roma and East Roma (Tsarigrad). What's to say that the true meaning of North and South doesn't come from North Yemen and South Yemen? Or that there are only three directions - Cao(North), Shu(West), and Wu (East)?

What's that supposed to mean, too relative?

Hmm, I meant it was a bit arbitrary. It was decided by the british empire and that's it... Not a good method to split the world in two lol.
