So, who should you vote for?

Conservative +42
UKIP +25
Lib Dem -22
Green -43
Labour -44
They got it wrong, Lib Dem should be -45

Interesting.

Labour -33
Conservative -8
Lib Dem +58
UKIP +19
Green +71

For those who haven't done it, the "What outcome do you expect?" button means "What party do you think it'll tell you to vote for?", not, as I thought, "Who do you think will win the election?"

UKIP +81
Conservative +65

Green -27
Liberal Democrat -51
Labour -69

You should vote: UK Independence Party

UKIP's primary focus is on Europe, where the party is strongly against joining both the EU constitution and the Euro. UKIP is also firmly in favour of limiting immigration. The party does not take a clear line on some other policy issues, but supports scrapping university tuition fees; it is strongly against income tax rises and favour reducing fuel duty.

You should vote: Green
The Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against. The Greens are also anti-Europe.

It had me down as Green too. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I think that the Green thing is based on the cannabis and emissions questions alone; if you answered that the UK (and US for me) should reduce emissions and that cannabis should not be more heavily discouraged, you got loads of points.

Fix! Had me as Green. Per chance is this a site with a certain interest?

I think these questions are very divisive - I think things would be very different if there was a selection of questions on transport, for example.

It came out with this for me:

Labour +18
Conservative 0
Liberal Democrat +1
UKIP 0
Green +1

I want to know who put this cobblers together. I don't mind Labour, but why on earth am I positive on LD and Green? I think I disagreed with all their most prominent policies.

I don't think it's just that. This bit:

sounds pretty like me... I answered in agreement with this on all the relevant questions, and it gave me +71 for Green.
