Vote Match

[TomE]

Thought some of you may be interested in this website, as I know some people are not sure who to vote for in the Euro elections:

http://www.votematch.co.uk/europe/

It asks for your views on a number of issues regarding Europe and then suggests the party which you are most aligned to.

Hope it's not a repost..... I did try a search but nothing came up.

Bump for that daytime crowd.....

I thought it was quite interesting anyway!

[The Moose]

Yeah I saw that a while back.

Interesting stuff, but pretty flawed really. I had to work it out for myself from the table at the end.

At the moment, not sure I'm gunna even bother voting... Someone wanna buy mine!! LOL

Cheers

Tories for me, although we do disagree on farming subsidy policy ( i think intensive cropping should be supported as well as small scale farms, the Tories are only for small farms.)

ETA. oh and nuclear power and quite a few other things, but they fit the best.

I got....
Nick Trew (Jury Team)

Not sure what to think about that, WHO is he??

[Don]

Interesting.

My best match was only around 60% in agreement.

So. No party really represents me that well. The ones who do it least badly are the Conservatives but it isn't close. Not really...

[FoolOnTheHill]

UKIP, Jury Team and Tories.

Unsurprising really as I think Europe should fk off and let us run our own countries.

58/66 ~88% Lib Dems
48/66 ~72% Labour

None of them feel/look like a particularly good match to me.

Voted no on the electronic hospital records thing not because I disagree with the concept but because in practice it's a recipe for widespread disaster, data loss/theft/misuse, huge inaccuracy and colossal waste of money - there wasn't a ticky box to say all that though.

Edit to add:
Krishnamurty Tayya of the Jury Party which seems to be a sort of anti-politics party thinks that

Just as well he's not got a snowball's chance, eh?

Seems like they agree with some people's views on here, even if they are complete nut jobs!

[angryS3owner]

I came out with UKIP and Jury's team equal on that and slightly ahead of conservatives and lib dems were beating them... interesting.

Isn't it the fact that 'Jury Team' is a collection of independents? Hence their ratings on that site might not reflect that their individual members view and policies might be as mad as a sack of badgers?

Almost a dead heat between Labour, Jury, UKIP and Conservatives for me. No use at all then. (A bit like the elections)

That might be exactly what we need.

[FunkyNige]

My top was Green Party.

Hippy. I'm a 'believer' to use TB's terminology and they still only just beat UKIP at the bottom of the table for me. Their attitude to animal testing and nuclear power, both of which I consider 'important', fked them.

To put that into perspective, the Green party was only fourth even for me!

[Busa_Rush]

UKIP

About right.

[Colonial]

Jury team

Who the feck are they?

[bp1]

UKIP(over 80%) closely followed by Jury Team and Lib Dems with the tories way down. Bloody green party was a better match than the Tories. Just wtf are tory policies these days?

An attempt to get more Independents elected - Their motto is "Politics Without Parties"....

I am surprised there has not been more support on here - enough people state the will:

1. Spoil their vote
2. Hate the Party Whip system
3. Want more independents elected

but seem oblivious to their existence - I guess they must live in their only little dream world oblivious to what is going...
