What political party do you side with?

Interesting quiz I thought it might be fun for some of us to take though I'm aware folk are sensitive about sharing information on who they vote for. I've never actually voted before but on this quiz the Lib Dems came highest on my list which I suppose is worrying haha, the BNP came rock bottom last though so I'm thrilled with that.

Lib Dem 87%
Scottish Nationals 73%
Green 68%
Labour 64%
Plaid Cymru 61%
Conservatives 59%
UKIP 56%
BNP 12%

Even though UKIP are the second lowest on the list I'm still not sure how I scored 56% for them. The only policy I agree with of theirs is the abolition of income tax, simply as I think it's unnecessary paying tax on money someone else has already paid tax on. Aside from that, I think they're all wankers. Same for the BNP, glad to see them right at the bottom.

I expected Lib Dem to be top, my views are consistent with them on basically everything. However, I can never bring myself to vote in an election again - I've only voted the once, for the Lib Dems, and they completely betrayed their voters by doing a U-turn on the policy that got them so many votes (abolition of student fees) and infact helped make the situation worse, by actually increasing the fees. It was a complete disgrace.

I scored weirdly higher than I'd anticipated for UKIP too. Seems we're in the same boat with the Lib Dems top and BNP bottom. I'll have to do it again later and make a full note of all my percentages and what not.

I got Lib Dem at top with Conservative/Labour second/third which is prolly pretty accurate.

The current government in control is technically ideal for me but they're shit so it hasn't worked out :lol

I'm Lib Dem on the side of social issues, healthcare and welfare but more "Conservative" when it comes to business and economy. I think the encouragement of business growth = jobs > more money > stable economy but I also think a productive workforce needs support. Maybe not in terms of cash in the bank but with programs for child care, education and healthcare. A health and stable workforce creates a healthy and stable GDP.

An improved Education system would take some of the burden off of University, fee's could be dropped to act as an deterrence for people just doing it for 3 years for the "fuck of it". I'm not Conservative in the notion of "let's get this private company to get all the immigrants out of our country". Immigration should be supported but it needs strict regulation. Not just for us here who sit here complaining "dey took our derbs" but also for the migrants who come here. More support and programs to help integrate into society. Creating a unified society is important for me, I feel there's too much segregation in the country. The current adjustments being made for people of Islamic faith is a current hot topic but I think it has some merit. It just creates more segregation. There's a better way to do it rather than creating a situation where there's different rules for them and for us, different shops for them and for us.

Unemployed people shouldn't be treated as scum. It's counter productive. There needs to be a massive overhaul on the day to day operations of places like Job Centre plus. It needs to be enjoyable and positive to promote growth and hope. Having some self esteem helps with interview skills and general outlook on life. No one is going to perform well if they're afraid their giro is gonna get cut and they've just had an hour "review" where the Job Centre rep just told them they're not good enough or doing well enough.

Education is a big thing for me. Michael Gove is a fucking bellend. You'd be surprised at how much a positive knock on impact a working education system would have. I would have Politics and a General Studies program put into the curriculum. General Studies would be for things that just don't fit in the other subject categories, things you need to learn for real life. Maths would be tailored more to real life situations (interest rates, mortgages, how the banks work, where taxes go and how that works) at the baseline with more advanced levels teaching things like Pythagoras Theorem, something I frankly know but have no reason too.

I'm rambling... :lol

If anyone is interested: On Democracy 3: I managed to wipe out this country's debt, kill homelessness, unemployment and major healthcare issues like obesity and asthma. I got crime under control and promoted massive business growth to make the UK an economic super power.

Vote Taj 2020.

Labour and Liberal Democrats are tied at 91% for me. Scottish Nationals come in third with 85%.

The rest are:
Conservatives 77%
Green 74%
Plaid Cymru 72%
British Nationals 64%
UK Independence 61%

Can anyone tell me what exactly this means about me and how I'd vote if I was a Brit?

Ok, so this is pretty much the political scale in our country from left to right


[Green---Lib Dems]-------[Labour-----Conservative]------[UKIP----BNP]


Lib Dems are left and Labour are considered centre-left (moreso central though). So yeah you'd vote for the left.

The Greens are very liberal, environmentally-conscious people.
