"How should I vote?"

Something wrong with that, I wanted more nuclear power, more nuclear bombs and don't give two hoots about the environment and it put the darn dirty greens above the tories :eek:

So long as its just non-tory voters who get conned into voting liberal I don't mind.
 
I answered all the questions and ticked all the parties, just out of interest. Not sure it asks the most pressing questions about policy, to be honest.

66% Lib Dem
59% Green
53% UKIP (No idea how they worked that out)
52% Labour
42% Tory
36% BNP (Or this!)

It came out with the right winner though; I will be voting Lib-Dem now that I live in a constituency where they're the only ones who can even dent the Tories' large majority. Our first past the post system really does suck.
 
This poll actually seemed designed to get people as high a percentage as possible for BNP or UKIP imo, by only asking about policies on which some people might actually agree with them *to some extent*, without actually asking any truly searching questions about areas in which they wouldn't even have a clue what they were doing, never mind have a convincing policy regarding.

British National Party: 72%
UK Independence Party: 69%
Conservative Party: 44%
Liberal Democrats: 31%
Labour Party: 18%
Green Party: 13%
 
It would be interesting to know who others will actually be voting for (if you're voting at all) to see how well the answers correspond.

For those who remember, a while ago I brought The Political Compass to the forum's attention. They now have the UK parties in 2010 plotted onto it, and I've always liked it as a more unconventional way of measuring political affiliations. I consider the Y axis far more important than the X axis; but worryingly the parties are all drifting towards the top.
 
UK Independence Party: 57%
Conservative Party: 50%
Labour Party: 45%
British National Party: 42%
Liberal Democrats: 40%
Green Party: 35%

These results are wrong.

I'm not loyal to any one party and tend to just vote for whoever seems to make the most sense and be telling less obvious lies than the others. However, I would never vote UKIP. Or indeed many of the other high ranking parties in my list (I included them anyway in my results for sport). I happen to be in an area where my vote is worth pretty much nothing though, as we always vote the same way by a colossal majority no matter what I scribble on my paper.

It would be interesting if the quiz was actually designed to manipulate peoples' voting patterns by persuading them to take another look at parties they didn't think they had much in common with. Interesting in a sort of morally dubious, easily used for evil way.

Does it any any point suggest you should be loyal? The point of such a quiz is to open your eyes to what other parties actually offer.

Why? Have you read their manifesto and policies, or are you going on word of mouth? From what I read in their manifesto, they don't seem bad at all.

Yes this test has some faults but, you can look at how the parties answered and read their notes y'know. It's pretty fair in that respect.

Suffice it to say that some (most) of their well-publicised policies are absolute dealbreakers for me. The quiz does not take into account how strongly some things might be disagreed with by the voter. You can cut out all such parties on the final step, but then you get the answer(s) only for the parties you were going to vote for anyway which makes it a fairly empty experiment :(

My results were all quite average and mundane (from the percentages), however in the real world I have a very black and white, stubborn mindset. It would be better if it weighted your answers in a more detailed way, perhaps, to take into account exactly how strongly you feel about things. Project-2501 seemed to have a similar problem!

I just looked up their manifesto and lost the will to live, so in summary pretty much everything to do with their hostility towards being part of Europe and immigration. I simply don't like their core beliefs.

not the most accurate test really, but those were my results, im torn between voting for the Lib Dems because I want a hung parliament or voting for the Greens who I agree with more policies on.
 
53% Lib Dem
45% UKIP
45% Labour
43% Conservative

I am voting Lib Dem. May all of you who plan to vote Conservative push a little too hard next time you fart. :p Letting yourselves be fooled into supporting a party that ignores the will of the people in favour of following its own agenda.

But the Lib Dems would rather let unelected bureaucrats make decisions [aka the EU] :p
