Well, THAT was a surprise

Richard and I just did the quiz at http://uk.isidewith.com to find out who we should vote for.


That image is crap though because it only shows the top 5, whereas I think my 53% for the Conservatives, 21% for UKIP and 3% for the BNP (!) are important :) Honestly, I'm amazed that I have as much as 3% in common with the BNP... Apparently I agree with them about nuclear energy and tracking.

Don't forget to vote!

Policy inaccuracies in quizzes like that always fill me with nerdly rage.

It includes in its answers comparing me with the LDs:

"Should the House of Lords be a wholly elected body?
Liberal Democrats have not given a stance on this issue"

Really? Really? After about 100 years of consistently having "it should be wholly elected" as the party position they haven't got a stance on the issue?

And as for the Labour position on finance questions, they have about as much clue as Ed Balls :P

Sassen, frassen, as Mutley would say.

3%, nothing. 34%!

Admittedly, there's a large gap between Green (92%), Labour, SNP, Plaid Cymru, Lib Dems (83%)... then BNP (34%), UKIP (19%), Tories (18%).

I think this is down to their sometimes-accidentally-lefty economic stance (eg they want to tax large multinationals (because they are run by evil foreigners), I want to tax large multinationals because they avoid tax) whereas UKIP and the Tories are persistently right-wing economically. I'm not sure it's so worrying, TBH; I can live with the fact that both Mussolini and I would like the trains to run on time. :-)
