Who should I vote for?

Your expected outcome: Liberal Democrat
Your actual outcome:

Labour -16
Conservative -29
Liberal Democrat 44
UK Independence Party 3
Green 44

You should vote: Liberal Democrat
The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.

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.

Interesting, I thought, especially given that I came out higher for UKIP than Labour! Probably because I marked the EU questions as neutral rather than positive, because I don’t have a strong opinion on EU issues (not pressing issues and I don’t have the information yet); that would probably reduce my UKIP score if they took account of it! :-)
