Now maybe this is a bit old fashioned, but someone's gone to all the trouble of putting his site together so you can decide who to vote for in the forthcoming UK general elections based on how policies and manifestos actually meet YOUR opinion.

who should YOU vote for ?

What else are you going to do on a Friday afternoon ?

I was green with a little bit of UKIP!

Which was pretty weird considering my responses, and the fact that those two parties would be the very last on my list.

Labour -10
Conservative -25
Liberal Democrat 35
UK Independence Party 7
Green 10

Sort of what I expected apart from a positive UKIP score. Odd seeing as I put 'strongly agree' to signing the European constitution, and 'agree' to joining the Euro. Which is sort of completely opposite to the whole foundation of the UK Independance Party.

Also, the two main issues of the Lib Dems, particularly for students are top up fees, and Iraq, and I answered neutrally to both of those questions, and strongly agreed that our troops should stay there till the job is done.

Green + UK ind got a staggering figure from me. Fucked if i'd vote for 'em though.
I think that's because the other parties want stuff like the Euro 'n' all that bollocks. Every time I ask folks who have it (like the Germans) they have nothing good to say about it, too

Meh.

Labour -30
Conservative 7
Liberal Democrat 11
UK Independence Party 19
Green 29

So, this site is by a green party supporter then? 29 green with one question even remotely related to the environment. Tres fishy. But clever. If you're braindead enough to vote Greens then maybe this site will convince you.

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.

Labour = 12
Cons = -20
Lib Dems = 74
UKIP = -30

I got Lib Dem too, and i'm a labour member?!

The site is wank; it doesn't cover most of the issues and expects to deal with major issues in 2 questions. The replies are biased towards the party of the exact centre, hence why on balance people are neither strongly for or against stuff get lumped with the liberals. Just a theory.....
