Title: How should I vote?
Post by: Banjax on 14 April 2010, 11:17:47
have a look at this link if you've got 2 mins:


now I ran through it and it came up LibDem 54% - fine.

You know what it said for me came second? UKIP - 48%!!!!!!!
3rd = Labour, Scot Greens and Conservatives 44%!!
Last SNP on 38% (i put the economy as a priority)

didn't click on BNP as I'd never consider voting for them - which it asks at the end  :y

try it and see what it says - might shock you (me? UKIP?)

complete balls if you ask me  ;D

thats what i thought at first (being the Torygraph) but they swear blind its impartial....of course, with a lot of the questions i dont have a bias one way or other, so it depends on whats asked i guess (and at what time of the day in my case - moody bar steward -  ;D)

it lets me know that i wake up a right wing loon and get more lefty and liberal as the day goes on  ;)

Lib Dem 59
UKIP 55
Cons 51
Labour 43
Green 38

Some strangely worded questions mind you. For example I would like to see the UK have a referendum once and for all on Europe and get out or get in rather than sit on the fence! ;D

To be honest Banjax I can be a communist and a fascist at the same time. It all come down to the subject really.

I can be a communist when I think of bankers bonuses and a fascist when I think of illegal immigrants commiting crimes.

i doubt anyone completely agrees with any one party (even party members argue about what they should and shouldn't stand for) you're right - i'm liberal on some stuff, leftish on others and right of centre on a few things - we're all a mass of contradictions  ::)

BNP        74%
UKIP       70%
CON        44%
LIB DEM   35%
GREEN     24%
LABOUR   23%

Actually this fits with my thinking, mind you I consider Gengis Khan to be too far to the left. ;D ;D

I managed 56% Lib Dem
                 47% Conservative
                 40% Green

Somehow I think the calculations are biased! ::) ::) :D :D ;)
Title: Re: How should I vote?

BNP - 51%
UKIP - 48%
Lib Dems - 39%
Green Party - 39%
Labour - 38%
Conservative - 24%

BNP and UKIP are my favourites to be honest.
Title: Re: How should I vote?
Post by: PhilRich on 14 April 2010, 17:48:19
UKIP = 56%
LIB DEM = 28%
CONS = 22%
LAB = 17%


About right for me I suppose, but TBH, I don't think anything is going to change dramatically, whoever gets in! Although I would like to see the end of the usual 2 horse race ::)
Title: Re: How should I vote?
Post by: Vamps on 14 April 2010, 23:56:00
UKIP 59%
Conservatives 45%
Liberal Democrats 41%

When I refined;

UKIP 65%
Liberal Democrats 47%
Conservatives 45%

Not too unexpected and in line with what I was thinking....... ;D
Title: Re: How should I vote?
Post by: bertiecbx550 on 15 April 2010, 12:15:41

i would never ever vote labour.

Interesting really. Realistically there are only two parties. Labour or Conservatives. However there are lots of people around who would vote Lib Dem if they actually thought it would count for anything. Similarly for the other minority parties like UKIP.

Really shows what a parlous state British politics is in!

proportional representation has been a Liberal cornerstone for donkeys -i even remember the old John Cleese ads in the 80's - PR may be looked at as a deal in a Lib/Lab hung parliament...of course, it does give extremists more of a voice, but i reckon if no one had to worry about tactical voting/wasting a vote then LibDems would be around 30% mark
