    I didn't expect to get the above results either. As for loading the
    results I wouldn't have thought the Lib Dems would score higher on my
    results than the Conservatives - but then again I know FA about politics.
    I read every scrap of paper that comes through the door towards election
    time, and then vote according to my conscience.

    I'm not sure what I ticked that caused the Green party to score so highly
    though - other than my opinion on the Gulf War.

    Heh I was wondering just how low the Tories would be on yours.

    Labour -26
    Conservative -33
    LibDem 50
    UKIP -5
    Green 25.

    No surprises there.

    I think you'll find that's a vote for our current Home Sceretary ;-)

    What's odd about his Gixer thou, or the Ducati 996 he had before that?

    OK, I was very very bored. Scores for strongly agree.
    (Strongly disagree is score * -1)

    for Labour, Con, LD, UKIP and Greens

    So L/C/LD/IP/G

    all neutral is 0/0/0/0/0

    Europe:
    Q1: Euro Constitution: 6/-6/6/-9/-6 and
    Q2: Join the Euro: 3/-9/6/-9/-6

    Freedom and Defence:
    Q3: compulsory ID: 6/6/-6/-6/-6
    Q4: arrest without trial: 6/-6/-6/-6/-6
    Q5: Iraq troops a good idea: 6/6/-6/0/-6
    Q6: UK remain in Iraq until stable: 6/6/-6/6/-6

    Tax and Employment:
    Q7: 100k pays 50% tax rate: -6/-9/6/-6/-9
    Q8: Min wage rise with inflation: 6/-6/6/0/-6
    Q9: Tax cuts rather than public services: -6/6/-9/-6/6
    Q10: Replace council tax with local income tax: -6/-6/6/-6/-6


    ok, enough of that. I'm not that bored.

    However, it doesn't seem that biased towards any
    one party (as per their claim). The issues seem
    to be the "main" issues I've seen in the news
    lately.

    What I got doesn't matter, I'm not voting in the UK
    this year, and the choices here are a lot more clear.
    (although they wouldn't be if the Rhino party was
    still running. Bastards got scared though - always
    won a seat once).

    The problem I see with the EU is it's simply there to do the bidding of
    business.

    It has become more and more aggressive in its deregulatory and
    liberalisation stance. The social chapter is a sham and the continued
    attacks on nation state self determination of economics and social
    provision makes it a threat to both consumers and providers alike.

    The EU's stated target is to make Europe into the "most competitive
    region in the world" by 2010 is enough to make alarm bells ring.

    Unfortunately this puts me in with the barking mad little Englander camp;
    something I find quite distressing.

    It surprised me a bit that wasn't more Cons. so I guess it's

    My stance is that folk who meet a payrole every month have a somewhat
    different outlook on things.
