Answer a few policy questions, takes about 5 mins. Then it calculates which party is most aligned to your beliefs, in percent.

It appears I'm 76% UKIP.

You're not a floating voter then you're either landed or sunk.

I was a floating voter up until 4pm yesterday when I made my mark and sealed the envelope.

On that basis I suppose I was too. (I, too, have voted). Although whose names were getting the little cross next to them were never in any real doubt.

Im 62% UKIP, 58% Tory, 27% Zanulabour and 15% Lib Dems.

UKIP might not be a wasted vote in my area as the Tories seem to be about as secure as they get. Hmmm...

I'm not convinced by these tests. For example, the Lib Dems say they will introduce a £10k tax free limit. UKIP say theirs will be £11.5k, so do you vote 'no' to the tax question if you support UKIP?

"People convicted of crimes who were not born in this country should be deported" What crime? A mass murderer/rapist who's live here for 6 months is hardly the same as Clive James being branded a criminal for something trivial.

I hope that no one would let something like this influence how they vote.

It is VERY limited in it's choices, ie what 3 parties do chose as closest (or whatever) etc,etc.

Actually only 1 at a push, OH, computer says NO.

Almost exactly the same here...

My local area has new Con and Lab MP's this year, and needs just 5% or so swing to go Con, so I think I'll vote tactically to get my 55% ish, than vote UKIP and still end up with Labour down at 25% or so!


Gutting, I'd love to vote UKIP, but what is the point when you essentially get Labour?

UK Independence Party: 67%
Conservative Party: 39%

Edit:

I should not have selected the BNP as a party as I wouldnt vote for them in a general election, but I was inteersted to see the results smile

Hmmm.

UKIP 60%
BNP 58%
Cons 58%

I certainly won't be voting BNP, and I get the impression that UKIP are a bunch of loons as well. It' strange how UKIP and BNP seem to be rated so consitently high in this thread though.
