        Try it again with a different selection of policy areas Helgalush - you may get to narrow your field down a bit!

            It was mentioned on the Andrew Marr show this morning, it took me ages to get on the site as it was busy.

              It was really good, thank you. I came out 100% for the party that I've always voted for (by picking four policies)

              Mr TS picked 7 policies, and his results were 33% Labour, 33% Lib Dem and 33% UKIP.

              We then had an interesting discussion about immigration and where he'd got his ideas from about the hordes of East Europeans coming here and stealing our jobs. (he's now retaking the test )

                I'll be giving that a go later...can't get on it at the mo. Have previously voted Cons, because my local MP is and seems a decent bloke who does a good job and supports his local area/businesses etc.

                He is stepping down this year, and I'll use that tool to help me come to a decision, there has been nothing by local candidates in the local press so I need a bit of help this year.

                Also, will be up north, halfway through Trek on voting day, so need to know how I can get my vote in safely when miles away from home. Know OH won't bother/will forget as he never votes himself.

                  Well, I got 100% for the party I'm going to vote for...so there's no surprises there.

                        It surprised me....
                        Apparently I'm 100% BNP !

                        I've never looked into their policies as I classed them as 'skinhead type nutters'

                        guess I should shave my head and start wearing Docs

                          I'm not sure I'd be admitting that in public Zeb

                              I did the test over all the sections so that I would get a fair result & I've now got splinters from sitting on the fence again. I came out 33.33% Labour, 33.33% Lib. Dem, 22.22% Conservative & 11.11% Green! I've done surveys in the past which suggest I'm slightly left of centre so I suppose it's about right. I'm still not sure who I'll vote for though! We've had leaflets from all the local contenders & the main parties all seem to promising pretty much the same things for our area.
