Who should I vote for?

14 04 2005

An interesting result. I removed the “Your expected result” thing because, to be fair, I didn’t have a clue, though I chose Conservative because of my economic stance. Quite interesting, then, that I ended up with Green Party. I didn’t even weight it, because while I could clearly see which policy related to which party, I didn’t let that influence my vote (I was scoffing at the conservative policies well before I fully registered who they came from…) Not too sure where that UKIP thing came from. My vague dislike of the European Union, I guess. Still, i think everyone should take this test just for the interest factor. If nothing else it’ll give you an idea of how your views relate to the main policies of each party, and give you a point for how to investigate futher.

Who Should You Vote For?

Your expected outcome:

Conservative

Your actual outcome:

Labour -20
Conservative -27
Liberal Democrat 44
UK Independence Party 5
Green 71

You should vote: Green

The Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against.

Interestingly, I voted for making cannabis class B again (yes, yes, I’m an authoritarian cunt) and neutrally on fox hunting, both of which are apparantly strong issues for these guys. I suspect it’s my stance on welfare that pushed them up high, but even so, my more right wing choices on taxation didn’t reign them in much.
