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.
It's because their policies seem sensible (excluding immigration for the BNP and ironicly europe for UKIP) to the average man. It is what the "main" parties should be doing.

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?

I hope that no one would let something like this influence how they vote.
Simples! You SKIP those questions.

I did similar test to this at start of election. Spot on with my intentions again, even though I changed my mind on a couple things. I am really, really-anti the EU, anti-Euro, and anti Brussels
so even giving a lot of leeway this time to my answers the correct one still came up.

UKIP 58
Lib/Dem 48
Tory 47
Lab 38

There's policies and then there is the realisation that you are voting for a gurning lunatic if you vote Labour.

Can I just point out that whilst they may both appear high in political wish lists the BNP and UKIP are very far apart in ideological and political terms.

The BNP are closer to National Socialists - they don't want democracy or Capitalism, they are big state, small people, a bit like your present labour but with nationalism thrown in.

The UKIP are a Libertarian Capitalist party, a much more Laissez-Faire attitude to democracy. Big on personal responsibility, much like the tories of old.

Amazing isn't it? Gets the impression that UKIP are a bunch of loons...
We pay the EU £45million EVERY day to be a member. The other parties think this is sensible - they must do, because they don't want to come out! That is the cost of building a 'new' hospital... every day.
Hey, guess what? Next year our contribution goes up a little... to £60million PER DAY.

Loons? UKIP policies are sensible and that is why when this test is done most come up with them in the lead.
But we can't vote for them, we don't know them. No, we only KNOW the real Loons who have been in power swapping places for the past god knows how many years.
But we can trust them can't we, especially where OUR money is concerned?

There's no hope now, unless the UKIP loons (as you call them) can get at least a reasonable number of seats in Parliament to speak up for our real concerns. But knowing the public we won't, they'll vote for one of the 3 stooges after all the media brainwashing saying a UKIP vote is wasted.

I said I gave a LOT of leeway (just to see what happened) - seems like Tories and Lib/Dems are close!

Just another thought. As you can exclude a party if you definitely 'won't' vote for them (as I did with BNP), with UKIP coming out top mostly, means you may consider voting for them.

Have some conviction and DO IT!

At least when this country goes real tits-up (Brussels will see to that!) you can stand proud and say 'not my fault!'

UKIP top, though just on one question, I suspect as I'm kind of pro europe, and would like a referendum to sort out the yes/no arguement.
