    Your expected outcome:
    Green

    Your actual outcome:

    Labour -8
    Conservative -29
    Liberal Democrat 54
    UK Independence Party 12
    Green 65

    fair enough, and in fact it's the Greens who'll get my vote.

    Hmm....I really don't see the point of voting Green. They're never
    going to win [1]. And there begins the cycle.

    [1] Apparently, some poll yesterday suggests they will win 1 seat.

    I thought you might like it :)

    Though it's not wholly fair to assume I've scored that on being xenophobic,
    but anyway.

    Backward thinking Luddites.
    They won't even support Nuclear Power FFS and like or not that is the
    only way HS is going to generate most of it's electricity in the future.
    It doesn't produce CO2 and radioactive waste doesn't really have a big
    impact on the environment (once buried under the Irish sea near Dublin)

    LDs.

    given that everyone except Hog[1] had a positive score for the LDs (and
    in most cases pretty large positives), I suspect you're right.

    [1] who I think faked his results.

    OIC.

    Oh, and it's probably only energy from fission reactors they don't
    like. I can't see what reasonable objections they could make to a nice
    little Tokomak.

    Actually, it's not that I support the Greens. I just don't like any of
    the other options.

    I find it interesting that the scores suggest I might consider the Lib
    Dems - given their stance on Council Tax, there's not a chance in hell
    I'd vote for them.

    Do we have any mainstream left-of-centre parties? I thought the spectrum
    ran; Lib Dem (slightly right of centre), Labour (right of centre),
    Conservative (a teeny-tiny bit further right of centre, just so they can
    shout on about Labour not being far enough right), UKIP (way out there),
    Ghengis Khan's neo-fascist alliance (considering merge with UKIP as they are
    all in favour of the UK being independent as long as nowhere else is).

    I've completely lost track. Are the greens considered 'mainstream'
    nowadays?

    Not that I'll be bothering to register my postal vote, or anything.

    They are going to produce lots of radioactive byproduct too, like the
    entire building for starters!! I don't think they are ever going to
    generate lots of electricity either, well not for another century at
    least.
    That's what the test doesn't show of course. I wouldn't vote for any of
    the current bunch of Weasel's, especially the current Parliamentary
    Conservative Party.

    In terms of tax I go with the flat tax idea, something around 25%
    maximum. Country gets what it can afford for that. I've had a lot of
    dealings with local government, 99% of it I would scrap tomorrow, most
    local service delivery should be delivered under normal commercial
    contracts.

    Scrap it, and replace with local income tax.

    Families with a combined income of over 38K will be worse off, but not
    by a huge amount.

    Oh, right. Hence that very question in the quiz.
    What about those with a _large_ income?
