It doesn't mean I'll be voting Lib Dem or Green though.

The way I see it, younger people are the main users of the internet and younger people are generally liberal, so I think any web poll will be skewed.

[edit]I suppose I should look at the page before commenting :">

Your actual outcome:

Labour 3
Conservative -20     
Liberal Democrat 20
UK Independence Party -4     
Green 7

You should vote: Liberal Democrat

The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.

I was expecting the Lib Dems and Greens to come out on top for me.

I'm more than slightly surprised about UKIP though

So similar to chris its scary

We're political twins

When I'm President of the World you can be Chancellor and secretly hate me and want my job.

If that were to happen the hate would be public, not secret

Don't make me get Rikki to run my propaganda campaign!

I voted neutral on many issues due to the fact that some of them are much different than American policies.

The site isn't working for me.

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.



You should vote: UK Independence Party

UKIP's primary focus is on Europe, where the party is strongly against joining both the EU constitution and the Euro. UKIP is also firmly in favour of limiting immigration. The party does not take a clear line on some other policy issues, but supports scrapping university tuition fees; it is strongly against income tax rises and favour reducing fuel duty.

My result is scary, I don't want to post it

Go on. I'm posting mine with a very high certainty of being laid into.

I only wanted to be a Tory.

I'm generally impressed by the number of people coming out as Lib Dems, and here was me thinking the country was doomed.

Don't be such a silly liberal. The country will only be 'doomed' if the Lib Dems gain power - which they won't. Labour may not be perfect, but at least they can run the country.

I challenge you to the ring of death!

Challenge accepted.

OK. Now I'm going to work out where I left it. Scuse me I have to go search the garage.

Is this site made by the Lib Dems?

Its seems a funny co-incdence that nearly every time anyone trys it, it recommends Lib Dems.

I think it's probably to do with the way the questions are laid out. Polls show that the majority of Brits do support the Lib Dems taxation policy (I believe one poll showed 70% of people believe the 50% tax band is a good idea), they also show there's considerable anger over Iraq, people are environmentalist, and they also object to student tuition fees like the Lib Dems. However, in this election the issues coming up as most important are the crime and immigration policys, which the Tories clearly lead on. As there is no true ranking system for this as in 'This is the most important thing for me' it bias itself away from the possibility of people voting on a minute number of policys, which people often do.

Edit: Continued rambling from here on.

People tend to vote on a few issues depending on their background. Students will likely over Iraq, and tuition fees. Doctors and nurses will vote over the NHS (my mother works as a receptionist in the NHS and is therefore spending a lot of time looking at the health policies of all three parties) parents are interested in education, the upper middle classes are interested in tax cuts, pensioners are interested in (obviously) pensions, and so on.

People like to know that a party has a holistic manifesto and isn't just going to get into power and do one thing, but they very rarely VOTE on a holistic approach.

I'm not from the UK, but I thought I should check it out.



PLEASE NOTE I HAVE PUT IN RANDOM INFORMATION: this most likely wouldn't reflect my political affiliation if I was British.

I can't believe any fair poll would come out with that figure. A recent debate on BBC News online showed there were clearly many people who did not support a 50% tax bracket, the main reason for that being they fear it would simply encourage high earners to move to another country.

Some, maybe even a lot, support it, but I doubt any poll is fair if it came out with 70%.

I think it was a MORI poll. And I am generally off the opinion that the people at MORI are on crack.

Obviously, I don't live in the UK, but aren't Democrats liberal to begin with?

The Democrats is the name of the US party, not the ideology

In any case, as someone who eats this bollocks up I feel duty bound to now inform of you where the name comes from. When the US Parliament was originally formed several hundred years ago it seperated into two Parties, the Tories and the Whigs. Now the Tories still exist to this day, albeit they are (officially) the Conservative and Unionist Party (though nobody outside Scotland uses the 'and Unionist' bit anymore) but the Whigs ran into trouble during the 19th century. As such they united with several parties, the Peelites, the Radicals, and the Liberals, to form the Liberal party. The Liberal party had limited success until WWI, when the (socialist) Labour party replaced it as the 'party of progress'. The Liberals languished in the polls hitting a meagre 6 seats in the 1960 election and started to climb back up the polls albeit at a very slow rate. In the early 1980s it was the Labour Party that was in trouble. On the right wing of the Labour Party 4 ministers (nicknamed the 'gang of four') split off and formed their own party- The Social Democrat Party. They quickly formed a coalition with the Liberals. In the 1983 election the alliance gained almost 30% of the vote, almost as much as Labour, but due to Britain's (crappy) election system they only captured 22 seats out of more than 600. Support began to dwindle again, and at the end of the 80s the two parties melded together to form the Liberal and Social Democratic Party, which was quickly shortened to Liberal Democrat, or for the chronically lazy, Lib Dems.

It already does. I know a few high earners who left to go to the US because they actually don't punish you for earning money there. Not just high earners but top graduates. To be honest, I can see myself leaving the country within a few years as well. You can't have wealth and enjoy it here. If it isn't the taxes, then it's the fact that people tend to be jealous of successful people in this country and if you are targetted by freaking yobs and thieves if you appear to have money.

:-"

You should vote: Labour

The Labour Party is broadly pro-Europe and takes a strong line in favour of all anti-terrorism measures, and of course supported the war in Iraq. Labour is against explicit increases in income tax to fund public services and against the abolition of university tuition fees, but has pledged to reintroduce maintenance grants for students.

Hehe yeah, "We won't raise income tax" translates to "We'll raise every tax except income tax" in Tony Blah speak.

Your actual outcome:


Labour -4
Conservative -7
Liberal Democrat 10
UK Independence Party 6
Green 14


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.

I'm a hippy, apparently. Lib Dems will get my vote, though.

Was Expecting to come out as Lib Dem, even though I can't vote.

Like all of these 'quizzes' they don't paint a very clear picture, and the results have a "this could be anyone" feel.

Of course, I'm from America, so I had to wing it on a couple. I chose Neutral where I was really stumped. It's cool that you guys have more choices than we do. Right now I'm not seeing much difference in the Democrats and Republina... err, Republicans.

Well, the Lib Dems are campaigning as the "real opposition" because the other two (Conservative and Labour, the main two parties) are so similar on a lot of things.

Mine are, in order:

• Liberal Democrat: +63
• Green: +14
• UK Independence Party: -9
• Labour: -28
• Conservative: -45

I'm surprised that UKIP come out higher than Labour or the Conservatives. I'm also surprised that with one exception I've come out the strongest for the Lib Dems here. (Plus I'm a Green at heart...)

Edit: Eek. I just redid the test having thought more about some of the issues and came out with +81 for the Lib Dems... I knew I agreed with their policies, but I wasn't sure it was quite to that extent

In one way it's not so good that we have many choices. What is going to happen is that a lot of people who are not happy with Labour will end up voting for the Liberal Democrats or Tories. This means the non-Labour voters will split and head in different directions (which is a pity), leaving Labour with the majority of the votes.

In the US it is either the Republicans or Democrats and most voters vote for either of those two. That is why neither stays in power for so long. In this country the conversatives ruled for 18 stupendous years! Because of choices, because that the non-Labour voters are not united but torn between the Conversatives, Liberal Democrats and UKIP - Labour will win again and will run the country for the third term. Don't be surprised if they stay in power for another 10 years. I just cannot believe the people in this country. It is NOT good for any one party to stay in power for so long.

Says you.

That makes sense - as the policies of the parties, if summed up with some bits removed, would make a near perfect world - it's about compromise. You vote for one because you want one thing, and you vote next time for someone else because you want another.

I guess I might go with the Lib Dem's

But how can anyone be sure that the results are real from that site? How have they made/collected their data?

--

I went back, did it again with stronger views and got roughly similar results:

Well duh.



Exactly. Not only that but when anyone stays in power for too long they tend to become arrogant and complacence - just as Labour has done and I say that as a former Labour voter. They have made a mockery of education, crime and the NHS. Criminals and yobs are thriving under the Labour party. They are forcing 4.4 million homes to be built in the south east of England which is seeing every bit of space like parks, lakes and grass lands taken away and it is pissing me off. I see this city is becoming like a pigeon hole. Gordon Brown has done wonders for the economy and the unemployment figures which I applaud him on but he has destroyed the pension sector. Let's not forget how the credit cards and loans industry has gone raving mad to the point anyone can acquire them days. Much of the country is heavily in debt. They come up with such idiotic ideas like the 24 hour pubs, super casinos (yes more debt for the vulnerable - great!) etc. Did they listen to the parents over the MMR jabs? No.

When the Labour Party make mistakes, they never apologise or take responsibility but when others make mistake they expect heads to roll and expect them to be fired. Pure arrogance I tell you. In their first term I thought they were great - I really did and felt they were perfect. Everything was going good but then came the second term and things slowly went sour. As time progresses they just get worse and come up with more wacky ideas. They are an embarrassment and out of touch with the public in my opinion.

There is no party out there that is perfect but I think it would be good for Labour to be kicked out for the next term so they realise they have to listen to the public if they want the power.

Every question there relates to a policy being promised by one of the parties over the campaign, so its basically 'who do you end up agreeing with most'

There's an election going on? :-"
