Voting for policies

The British elections are upon us again and as usual there is a handy guide to voting based on matching your preferences to policies and advising you which party to vote for, rather than relying on shallow gimmicks like TV debates.
My result was rather predictable: massively Green Party with a hint of Liberal Democrat (well, Nick Clegg was the best looking one, if you permit me my moment of shallowness).

5 years ago, I was advised to vote Scottish National Party, not an option in the above survey.
So let's do that survey again (unfortunately it's the general UK one);

Take the Who Should You Vote For? England quiz

Green

63
Liberal Democrat

39
Labour

11
UK Independence-30

Conservative-59

You expected: GRN

Your recommendation: Green

UPDATE: I re-did the quiz because it has been split up in regions and a question about Trident added. No significant change in result though.

Lib Dem first and UKIP last. I can live with that.

I wish the Dutch Kieswijzer would update their site so I can have a go at the Dutch elections too.

Patience. It'll be there on May 7th, directly after the UK elections.
