51% Lib Dems, 50% Tory, 29% Labour. I'll be voting for every party on my slip anyway, so it doesn't matter. I just fucking hate rules, red-tape and all that shit. I'm a liberalist. :)

81% BNP.

Not suprised, I used to be a Labour activist prior to Tony Blair.  Then the NEW LAB dumped the working class so were could I go?

You really don't have to answer that.

There is so much wrong with the three main parties that any right minded person is left with

UKIP

BNP 

and the

GREEN PARTY

So don't feel so bad.

Not quite sure how this can work given that none of the main parties have launched their manifestos yet.

Never mind the facts, bullshit will have its day. Ho hum.

Green Party - 45% WTF?
Labour - 37%
Tories - 35%

Well that has surprised me a little. Didn't expect to see the Liberal Democrats so high on mine and the Green Party as well. I couldn't really care much for thge green stuff and the evironment etc. It does highlight how shite Labour and the Tories are though. Didn't put the BNP on mine as I wouldn't vote for them regardless.

Green Party was my highest percentage, I'd actually probably vote for them if they stood around here.

Strange though as I put that I didn't care about environmental issues(we're all fucked anyway), and I was in favour of nuclear power.

It's a bit of a fake though - all they've done is taken some policy statements from each of the parties and totted up accordingly, which assumes that a) the parties actually mean what they say in vague policy statements b) they all have equal weight. Which is patently not the case - this isn't intended to give any real idea as to how much you align with each party's core beliefs, so much as shock you into going "ooh, blimey I'm a lot more Tory/Labour/Lib Dem than I assumed" and hopefully then delve further into why that should be so.

It's a load of bollocks, in short.


Title: Re: Vote match
Post by: Colin Todd on Thursday, April 1, 2010, 23:59:18
Agree. The BNP are scoring highly because of the vague immigration based questions which are of genuine concern to a lot of people. If the site was more realistic and asked do you think the dirty blacks, muslims and eastern european commies are stealing our jobs which would be a more accurate representation of the party, then we'd be getting some different results.


Title: Re: Vote match
Post by: pauld on Friday, April 2, 2010, 00:11:03
It's not just the obvious stuff though - they've quite deliberately stuck in some surprisingly right-wing sounding policy statements from Labour and the converse from the Tories which skews the field to the extent as to be almost more mischief-making than a proper survey. Likewise, as CT observes, there are areas of legitimate concern to all of us, which don't necessarily translate into wanting to vote for the party that bangs the drum most loudly on those issues - I'd very much like to see a referendum on the Lisbon treaty but wouldn't dream of voting UKIP, I'm as concerned about law and order as the next man but that doesn't mean I automatically subscribe to a "hang em and flog em" agenda. Similarly, if they'd asked "Are most bankers a bunch of gobshites?" which I think a large majority would agree with these days, would they then be translating that as votes for the SWP? It's a bit toss, really.

I expect to see a "Shock poll result reveals how voters really feel" in one of the nationals shortly based on the "results".

Couldn't care less about what other people have said. The main thing to point out is that i have got  72%match with UKIP and 70% match with BNP.

So fucking what? None of the questions were about my racial beliefs. Therefore i feel that i can vote BNP without being called racist. Roll on a fully British economy and workforce.

YEAH!

Assuming of course that the 4-5 statements from the BNP out of 30 in total in that "survey" actually represent the totality of their policy platform. And that the survey is in any way a scientific indicator of how your politics are aligned as opposed to a gashed up bit of fun. And that you ignore the BNP's history, leadership, stated policies and constitution, criminal/terrorist links (and senior members). Assuming all that to be the case, then yeah you can.

But I don't think you're that stupid and you actually know full well what a vote for a party founded by Nazis, led by Nazis and largely populated by Nazis means. So you're either on a wind-up or looking to excuse doing something you know is wrong. But feel free to come back and say "Yes, I am that stupid"
