I'm quite happy to be in the purple quadrant.  It's the only one where no other politicians are

My guess is that even the green one, or pretty much anything to the left, still requires authoritative types to"enforce" the social ideas.

I'm not sure but I think the guys in the green quadrant are, generally speaking, for social freedom but against the free market.   People in general, and the makers of this quiz, don't see what a contradiction that is.   If the market is simply people trading with each other, buying goods and services from each other, then the free market equals freedom.  Govt control of the market is not freedom and, by definition, will result in an erosion of social freedoms.  Which is exactly what real world evidence shows us.
