JacquieL Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 This site is quite useful in helping you decide which policies you support and therefore who to vote for http://voteforpolicies.org.uk/ Quote
Marion Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Thanks Jacquie as a firm "Undecided" I'll have a good read Quote
JacquieL Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 Well I've done it and it was really interesting. I did find some things hard to decide as I wanted to pick out bits. I've ended up being 1/3 Green, 1/3 Lib Dem, and 1/3 Labour so who do I vote for A tactical vote needed around here though to keep a certain party out. Quote
Beau Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Thanks Jacquie, will have a read a bit later when I've time! Quote
Rea Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Oh my god. On the NHS I was 20% BNP!!!. Other than that I was a Lib Dem with a bit of Tory. Still not sure who to vote for on the day, but it would NEVER be the BNP. I'm apalled at myself. Quote
sienna Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 This site is quite useful in helping you decide which policies you support and therefore who to vote for http://voteforpolicies.org.uk/ Thanks for that link JacquieL. I was 50/50 lib dems/labour...mmm interesting. . Quote
Marion Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Well I took the test and ... I'm an undecided with a score of 25% to each party ... Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I just did it again. I'm still BNP on NHS!!! Rea, so am I I NEVER thought I'd agree with any of their policies I need to do more policy research, I think... Nona Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I did the test in the hope that it would help me to make up my mind which party to vote for as this is the first time I am completely undecided. Unfortunately it didn't help but it was very interesting to do. I'll have to find some other way of helping me to decide. Quote
Inge Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 tried link and a search but it tells me it does not exist! Inge Quote
sunnyday Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Have no idea what my results were - lost it just at the crucial point - suddenly said 'this page is not available'! Maybe just as well - I would be mortified if I found out that I actually supported any BNP policy - I would have to shoot myself! Quote
sunnyday Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 tried link and a search but it tells me it does not exist! Inge Oh perhaps we have 'broken it'!!! Quote
JacquieL Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 It's still there and come up a top hit on Google so that is strange. I'm with you sunnyday, although if I misbehave I will be repatriated to my parent's homeland which might not be so bad actually Quote
JacquieL Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 CCT this might help as well http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/ele...&col3=libde Quote
Inge Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 got in this time.. and not much help 25 % so 4 parties to choose from! ( none BNP) but it does help with letting you know the policy and not the constant knocking each other we always get.. I hate that, they don't tell you what they would like or plan to do, but how the others 'don't' work! Inge Quote
Cait Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 well 75% conservative and 25% Libdem! That was quite a surprise actually Quote
Panders Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I was listening to the radio at lunch time and they were discussing the term Labsertive - because the 2 main parties share so many policies Quote
sunnyday Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Have just 'done' it again........ Yay - absolutely no BNP...... A mix of Green, Lib. Dem. and Labour........mostly Green........hmmm.........interesting! Quote
Cait Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Have just 'done' it again........ Yay - absolutely no BNP...... A mix of Green, Lib. Dem. and Labour........mostly Green........hmmm.........interesting! Alan's was like that! Quote
HappyMaz Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I was 50/50 Labour and Lib Dems. I was able to spot the BNP lunacy and avoid them, thankfully! Maz Quote
Rea Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Wish I had Maz, I'm still reeling from it. Its got to be secret too, one of hubbys friends is 100% BNP, he calls me the P - k - lover because I hate his politics and argue every point he raises. I'm ashamed I didnt read the policies closer. Quote
Guest Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) I'm ashamed I didnt read the policies closer. Rea - perhaps that's part of their approach though?! careful wording of policies so that, at first glance, they appear to be what they're not?! I'm going to re-do the test later, when my brain is less fuddled, FD assignment printed and the heating engineer has (finally!) gone home (replacing the boiler has now taken 3 days and I'm beginning to go MAD being housebound ) Hopefully, I'll pay more attention to detail and wording this time and get a sensible idea of whose policies I actually support - probably a blessing I've done this now Nona Edited April 9, 2010 by Guest Quote
Marion Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I'm getting different results depending on the four policies chosen perhaps I need a coalition ... Quote
Rea Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I think it said it had to be at least 4 not just 4. I chose 5 first time round. Quote
Marion Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I did it with all 8 policies to begin with and got 4 way split 25% each Con Lib Dem Green and UKIP did it with 7 policies and had a 5 way split then different permutations of 4 policies can you tell I'm bored? Quote

Hmmm - I have the misfortune of knowing one of their supporters too.......I have had many a heated 'debate' with him.........he has a lung condition and I'm ashamed (or am I?) to say that I once said to him "do you know I am seriously wondering whether you are getting enough oxygen to your brain" Quote
Rea Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Me too Marion, waiting for the tea to cook. I did it all again, this time I was 55% Lib Dems, and the rest split Lab and Con. Phew! Quote
Marion Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Me too Marion, waiting for the tea to cook. I did it all again, this time I was 55% Lib Dems, and the rest split Lab and Con. Phew! try this one http://www.votematch.org.uk/2010/index.php Quote
HappyMaz Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I'm ashamed I didnt read the policies closer. I think mostly the people who wrote the statements were actually quite clever in hiding the partys' true identities - but the word 'lunatic' did creep in once or twice which gave the game away. I also didn't really allow enough time to read it all in depth - so I'm surprised I spotted them, frankly! Maz Quote
