Well, Who should you vote for? have a new version of their poll up to help you decide who to vote for in the election this week. I thought I should have another go as my opinion on the Iraq war has worsened with all the reports over the last few weeks and, well, the questions have changed. I put my expected vote as Conservative as this the highest scoring of the three main parties last time. Here are my results:

Who should I vote for? v2

Your expected outcome:

Your actual outcome:

Labour -37
	Conservative 31
	Liberal Democrat 17
	UKIP 11
	Green 52

You should vote: Green

The Green Party, which is of course strong on environmental issues, takes a strong position on welfare issues, but was firmly against the war in Iraq. Other key concerns are cannabis, where the party takes a liberal line, and foxhunting, which unsurprisingly the Greens are firmly against. The Greens are also anti-Europe.

Well, I was surprised to see the Lib Dems climb so much, but then again, they were and are very much anti-war. I was very surprised to see UKIP take such a tumble, but I guess they have made some more policy announcements that are reflected in this version. Not surprised to see the Greens so high as I always vote for them locally and will continue to do so.

Well, I’ve started getting a bit polical again. It all started when I got a UKIP leaflet through the door. I was all ready to bin it, but the Missus told me to stop and actually read it. I was shocked to discover that this was a party that actually held the same beliefs as me.

Incidentally, met the Conservative candidate outside the station on the way to work this morning – seems like a nice enough bloke. He’s a businessman and married with 5 kids so you would think he would probably know where I am coming from with regards to key issues such as taxation. According to his little pamphlet, he may well be.

Found out about the following site from an entry over at Wibbler.com.
Not really surprised by my personal results to be honest. I knew that my old party, the Lib Dems, had shifted and started losing favour with me since they became very pro-Europe and I started being a Euro-sceptic. Similarly, I wasn’t surprised to see the Conservatives and Green Party neck-and-neck for second place in my political affections.

Your expected outcome:

Your actual outcome:

Labour -64
	Conservative 26
Liberal Democrat -2
	UK Independence Party 40
	Green 26

You should vote: UK Independence Party

UKIP’s primary focus is on Europe, where the party is strongly against joining both the EU constitution and the Euro. UKIP is also firmly in favour of limiting immigration. The party does not take a clear line on some other policy issues, but supports scrapping university tuition fees; it is strongly against income tax rises and favour reducing fuel duty.
