Well, I answered the questions. I suspected it might say Green, and in fact it did:
Labour -31  |
|
 Conservative 5 |
|
| Liberal Democrat 14 |
|
| UK Independence Party 21 |
|
| Green 33 |
As this excellent site says:
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.
Take the test at Who Should You Vote For

Yes, well Google assures us Maharishis are the best at articulating principles of Ideal Government, so Law may well be the way to go. The site doesnt include Natural Law…I suppose they had to draw the line somewhere to keep it simple.
I looked at this. This is very flawed. It picks stand-out Lib Dem policies (because it has to include all three parties, it has to choose issues where there is a noticeable difference). As the Lib-Dems are aiming to be a good third rather than win the election – AND they want to target ABC1s in their campaigning (because they are most likely to switch vote), they have chosen standout issues of principle to stand on.
The evidence shows that biggest factor that determines people’s vote is perception of economic competence. It isn’t even asked for. Nor does it ask whether respondents beleive that parties can do what they say – another factor that usually over-rides the question of support for individual policies.
I don’t beleive this site is as independent as it claims.
What about my “local” party: Natural Law?
“Our policies will make everyone healthy: Allowing us to cut the cost of the NHS.”
“Our policies will remove global conflicts: Allowing us to cut defence spending.”
etc.
Simple and effective; what more could you want?
