So apparently we have to have another General Election.

I've always felt its more useful to vote on policy rather than personality or soundbite.

This is a useful test to show you which party most closely matches your views.

Good luck everyone.  Interesting times are ahead.

Bit political, and I'm not sharing my results, except: "You should move from South-West Bedfordshire, no one shares your views"!!!

Good news is I live in the right part of the country!

Bad news is I'm about to vote for a party 1% less in tune with my beliefs than I could :)

The site has pointed me at some people who can help.

Looks like I won't be voting for their suggestion, although my preferred party tied with them in the result.

FSN: I think that's a fair result!

Lord Kermit of Birkenhead

Surprised FSN could read the questions !

Almost got me right, and of the pair that came bottom I'm closer to BNP that UKIP. Mind you SNP, Pliad Curry  and Sein Fein all came above those.

Go my no 1 correct but after that it was all over the place, 60% SNP and 53% Plaid Cymru when I don't live in either Scotland or Wales and despise all forms of 'Nationalism' and 50% UKIP, a party whose policies and members I find utterly abhorrent.

Think I'll stop now, politics is worse than 'I don't play that game/rule set' for stirring up a heated debate. 

Westmarcher

Assessed as "Centrist" which would be fairly accurate but as for the most likely Party to vote for .... never in a million years!

I mean, the now defunct Runcorn Independence Party (RIP) - where did that come from?  :o
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Leman

Widnes? Apparently I'm a bit left of centre, which is probably about right(!), although one of the fourth or fifth suggestions was UKIP - and me with an EU flag with the stars in a heart shape - come on now.

Agreed.

Hopefully we can keep this civil. 
I always find these assessments interesting and helpful, so thought i'd share, "for the good of the country" rather than to stir up divisive debate.
This one doesn't seem as good as previous years and there were a few questions in there that seemed a bit odd.

For my part, they always seem to match me most closely to a party i'm not voting for.   ;D
