Interesting experiment, though part of me wonders how different countries and their general political leanings are affected by this. Why are both American political parties more right leaning than their European counterparts? Would such an experiment have different results based on where/what culture it was being held in?
And what about the fact politics has multiple dimensions to it? What makes someone more libertarian or authoritarian?

This may be part of the reason that nationalism and pride in the military etc (perhaps until recently?) has been much less prominent in northern Europe.
