No more worrying about who to vote for, there’s a website that will make your decision for you:
http://www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com
You answer a few simple quetions and it tells you which party is best for you.
And it tells me to vote for…
…. UKIP!!!??!!?!
Jeez.

Yep. You can always spot us.
I was positive Ukip, the Greens and the Tories (in that order).
A big negative on Labour (now, there’s a shocker) and a small neg on the Lib Dems.
I guessed I would have come up Lib Dem which shows you how little I know.
I thought my "let them in" attitude towards immigration would have knocked UKIP out straight away.
I guess I’ll have to go get myself some culture …. so I can say that "they" are diluting it.

April 14, 2005 at 18:51 #90889My results:
UKIP +44<br>Con +40<br>Green +1<br>Lib Dem -31<br>Labour -32
As expected. :cool:
April 14, 2005 at 18:54 #90890Labour -20    <br>Conservative -9    <br>Liberal Democrat 24 <br>UK Independence Party -2    <br>Green 17
I’m in favour of a "You would have liked Hitler" option, just to compare…
<br>You should vote: Liberal Democrat<br>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.
April 14, 2005 at 20:19 #90891Just done this, Conservative won, followed by UKIP (Ough), Green, Liberal Dems and Labour.
April 14, 2005 at 21:02 #90892UKIP +40<br>Green +23<br>Conservative +13<br>Lib Dem +9<br>Labour -36
I’m turning into a revolutionary in my old age .. :biggrin:
April 14, 2005 at 21:26 #90893Very strange Steve, exactly the same order as you
+23 Ukip<br>+15 Greens<br>+11 Conservative<br>-4 Lib Dems<br>-8 Labour
Must have been my anti-war & keep the pound sentiments that did it !
April 14, 2005 at 22:01 #90894Good grief. Never in a million years would I have believed this. (Apart from the negative labour vote  :biggrin: )<br> <br>UK Independence Party 20<br> Liberal Democrat 8<br>Conservative 8<br> Green 9<br>Labour -11
April 14, 2005 at 22:13 #90895I predicted Conservative but it went pear shaped:
Labour – 22<br>Green – 12<br>Conservative -7<br>UKIP – 3<br>Lib Dems 0
So no party showed a positive outcome – the question is do I have a member of Veritas in my constituency?!
April 14, 2005 at 22:27 #90896Labour 8 <br>Conservative 31 <br>Liberal Democrat -30 <br>UK Independence Party 19 <br>Green -6
I sort of expected UKIP to be closer to teh Tories, other than that it seems pretty much in order to me.<br>Keith<br>
April 15, 2005 at 07:51 #90897Is it possible that the site is owned by UKIP??
Adrian, your results are totally bizarre.
What voting advice did it give you?
Maybe you should stop paying taxes on the grounds that you’re not being provided for politically.
No taxation without representation and all that.

April 15, 2005 at 11:55 #90898Steve,
It told me to vote Lib Dem – yeah right! – and went on to mention their standpoint on various issues, some of which I’d just voted against.
I think I was too neutral on many points but thats because I can see both sides of many of the arguements.
April 15, 2005 at 12:20 #9089951 – Liberal Democrats<br> 12 – Green Party<br>  5 – Labour (New)<br>  4 – UKIP (WEKIP)<br>-30 – Conservative
Can’t believe UKIP managed to score 4. I’m tempted to vote Conservative out of sympathy…alright I’m not…
As expected for the Liberals, the mainstream party closest to my views.
Don’t panic if UKIP make your top two or three with the Greens – you’re not a walking contradiction. Just a clean living, patriotic kind of human. I guess the UKIP score is coming from a desire to be connected to Europe in the way we are and to keep the pound.
Also, the website has made judgements on the UKIP view of some of these policies. So there’s more room for inaccuracy I think.
Mesh, it’s good that racing brings raving Tories/UKIP’s and raving Liberals together.
Out of interest Mesh, do you think of yourself as having a tough choice between Conservative and UKIP?

April 15, 2005 at 13:52 #90900Labour -23 <br>Con – 53 <br>Lib Dem +88<br>UkIP -4<br>Green +55
Hope lib dems win.
April 15, 2005 at 18:43 #90901Lol@Grasshopper.
Being far from a hippy communist myself, I’ll be voting Conservative on 5th May. I have voted UKIP before but their other policies apart from Europe/immigration aren’t clear cut enough.
As far as my more politicised student friends go, they’ll either be voting Lib Dem or Tory. Not a Labour voter in sight!
The Lib Dems are credible enough for a leftist party but being the hard line right wing fascist that I am I won’t be voting for them. :biggrin:
April 15, 2005 at 19:18 #90902Labour  -19<br>Conservative 6<br>Lib dems  12<br>UK independence party 29<br>Green 3
UKIP gets my vote
