Well for me, Cameron came in 1st place followed by Clegg in 2nd Place and Brown in 3rd place.

Nothing new, hard to think that back in 1994 to 2000, I was a firm believer in Labour and especially Blair - now I can't stand them!

Yes I know I was only 10 years old back in 1994 but I understood that change was needed and Labour seemed like the best choice at the time.

Got it right for me. But I always think these are pretty dodgy when making comparisons with parties that form the existing Government, as it's all very well, for example, Labour saying they support reducing the gap between rich and poor, or civil liberties, but experience of that is very much not what Labour are about!

As far as I can see, the survey is flawed - they're basing Labour's policy on what they now wish to do rather than what they've actually done in the last 13 years. Also, some of the questions are ambiguous.

A much better website is:
http://voteforpolicies.org.uk

The website gives you a list of policies from different parties, without specifying the party, and then gives you the result of which policies you have chosen at the end.

FYI this is how I voted:

Issue Parties policies you chose
Crime Labour
Democracy Labour
Economy Lib Dems
Education UKIP
Environment Green Party
Europe Lib Dems
Health / NHS BNP *blushes*
Immigration Green Party
Welfare Lib Dems

Amazingly the Green Party, the true socialist part, seems to be winning. I guess their policies were probably the most juicy, though one gets the feeling they've promised what they couldn't deliver.

78% Lib Dem, 68% Labour, 60% Conservative. So roughly in line with most previous posters, which is not surprising given the high importance most people here would place on transport, and my answers closely matching the Lib Dems.

I'm struggling to see how HST Fan can only have a 43% match with Lib Dems - perhaps he's pro-more roads, pro-more runways and anti-HS rail... :s

One slight flaw: Transport isn't a policy area (yet?)

But you can pick more than 4 areas!


If you have a look at the link I posted, which is the answer that quiz produced for me, it gave me a different party for each of the 4 areas, producing a result of four parties as a recommendation with 25% each. So useless!

But if you're up for it, you can retry the quiz ticking all 9 areas which might help you out slightly.

I am not even going to try this as i already know i wont be voting tory (never have, never will) or bnp. Wont be voting for 'Nouveau' labour either, so it looks like the only choice i have is Green.

Interesting observation most people and most of the media portray the Lib Dems as the third option.

Do try the link I posted though just for interest sake - it's amazing how many people actually appeal to BNP or UKIP policies when they don't have their name on the top.

Well apparantly:

64% Conservative
63% Lib Dem
62% Labour

That's useful isn't it!?

Interestingly, this is the first election I will be choosing to vote in. There's no way I'm going Tory...

I think I'll probably go Monster Raving Loony Party at this rate.
