interesting if a little bit simplistic on certain issues.

I agreed with the first choice that it suggested, but i'm quite suprised at the positions it assigned to the other parties in my preference to vote. not that it matters as we don't get to put a 2nd choice.

It said I should vote Lib Dem, how come the program knows what the Lib Dems would do but no-one else does ?

I did think it was a scam site created by the Conservative party to find out what their policies should be.

The test results told me to vote for the Conservative party. I am now going to scrub my gob out with swarfega.

this one is a bit better but a fair bit longer.

Hmm... LibDem and UKIP seem to some pretty close together. I think that the difference may be that libdem appears ineffective and UKIP appears inappropriate?

I got:

Labour -34
Conservative -35
Liberal Democrat 29
UK Independence Party -22
Green 11

The second link I got:

Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.67

According to this tests results I am positioned right on top of Mahatma Gandhi. I am not usually that way inclined but it has to be better than being on top of Maggie Thatcher.
Economic Left/Right: -4.13
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -2.62

Ah I love the minus figures everyone is getting for Tory & Labour

Here's me...

Labour -55
Conservative -18
Liberal Democrat 42
UK Independence Party 32
Green 33

haahaa- it said i should vote for the green party!!!! :D

i got lib dems on the 1st one but that second one was really confusing and i didnt understand alot of the questions! dont have a clue what the answer ment! i think it was slighty to the left though?

me and ghandi- best of mates!
other one told me i should vote lib dems- was a real shock to me!!!

as I expected .... I should vote LibDem ... or possibly Green ... no surprises there then .... and Nick what do you mean about no one knowing about party policies ...?

All parties have manifestoes .... all you have to do is read them :D

Green party 67r8965vbe865ev75ve

As I expected it was Lib Dem

I got UKIP on the first test with Lib Dems a close 2nd.
Labour and Conservative both got heavy minus points.

On the second test I was a little bit above and just to the right of Ghandi. I was glad I was nowhere near Hitler.

Short quiz here for a rough guide for who to vote for; http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com/

Oh No! I'm technically a green!! Who woulda thought it, eh?
Better go and find a tree to hug..

well that means I've gotta vote Lib Dem then

*goes off to have a think*

ermm, isn't this a duplicate of the thread we had last week?

link here (http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36280&highlight=who+vote)

MOD: threads merged - thanks for the link.

Tells me I should vote LibDem. Thank goodness for that! :) :)

It looks like UKIP for me then.

Well, maybe.

Your expected outcome:
Conservative



Your actual outcome:


Labour -13
Conservative 47
Liberal Democrat -30
UK Independence Party 43
Green 14


You should vote: Conservative
The Conservative Party is strongly against joining the Euro and against greater use of taxation to fund public services. The party broadly supported the Iraq war and backs greater policing and ID cards. The Tories are against increasing the minimum wage above the rate of inflation, and have committed to abolishing university tuition fees. They support 'virtual vouchers' for private education.

I voted strongly in favour of sending troops into Iraq, and keeping them there. Yet the result was I should vote Lib-Dem, (who were opposed to the war!). Is this poll biased?

The result is I should be voting lib dem.as if?:heyhey:

My vote should apparently go to Labour by a rating of 8.

It went like this:

Labour 8
Conservative -1
Lib Dem 2
UK Independance -9
Green -12

I still won't be voting but it's interesting to know where my views point me towards. :suspect:

Labour 26
Conservative -43
Liberal Democrat 48
UK Independence Party -23
Green 18

you pinko, Commie, lefty, yoghurt weaving Liberal you:D

Apparently I should be voting Lib Dem (70), followed by Labour (45), Green (18), UKIP (-44), Tories (-86). I definitely won't be voting Lib though!

I think I've only ever done these political surveys a couple of times and I always seem to come out pretty central leaning neither one way or the other. I've got none of the high scores that most people seem to have got. :|

I came out as a Lib Dem and in the same political compass 'blob' as the Dalai Lama - does that mean the Dalai Lama is a Lib Dem then?

It’s because it’s an American website, ‘Affirmative action’ would be positive discrimination in this country. If the questions are still the same as when it first went up.

Intersting take on this website

well im in shock! i always vote conservative, but i should be lib dim oh dear. now im confused

Labour -16

No surprises there, then.

On the political compass: Left/right: -2,13
Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.69

So that makes me a left wing libertarian. Better grow a beard, buy an oversize woolly jumper and get my old Jesus sandals on.

Labour 2
Conservatives -65
Lib Dems 92
UKIP -11
Green 56

Social libertarian / Authoritarian - 7.28
left /right - 7.38

Pass me that bong Charles Kennedy!

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. The Greens are also anti-Europe.

this link was in an msn group i am part of and it told EVERYONE to vote green! so i was thinking maybe its rigged!

I did that a few days ago. Got mostly Lib Dems and then green second. However apparently it's quite biased and jacks you up to 50% more on Labour if you agree with top up fees, and the like.

The test is definitely skewed towards the Greens. The questions do not exactly parallel the positions of the parties in the manifestos - they are oversimplifications. Perhaps the test is a new subliminal form of political persuasion

When I took this test I was 72% Conservative. Seems bang on to me! :thumbsup:

Just did the quiz... its saying I should vote UKIP.. second on the list was Conservative and third was Green (it was a -ve result for the others). I voted UKIP back in 1997.. mmm.. descisions decisions!!! I'm one of those last minute, mid twenties, undecided voters!
