    Policies, nor personalities

    Quite interesting to see the results, I was pretty the same across all parties, i.e. 30% for the major 3 and 10%for the new kids on the block: https://voteforpolicies.org.uk/
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    I don't really identify with any party but on the basis of the test on the selected areas... 100% Ukip. Pretty close second for the Tory policies, though.

      37.5% Tory, 37.5% UKIP, 12.5% Labour, 12.5% Green

      It's nowhere near granular enough though. Choosing between several half-page blocks of text saying similar things isn't ideal.

        Those blocks of text are the policies from each party, in fact I recognised some of the wording as having been directly lifted from various parties policies.

            Yes I know. But when each block contains up to 10 specific things, in most cases I don't agree with all of the statements in ANY block - and often I agree strongly with some elements from different blocks.

            I'd rather get to rate each individual bit of each policy.

              Self-loathing? That's a lefty trait too.

                its New Labour, you may agree with them, you will probably never see them as promised.

                e.g. Create new jobs and get our economy going = import the population of Accession country so the NHS & Schools are busy and they hire more foreign Locums that can't speak English at £500 an hour to the Agent and £5 to the Doctor.
                Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  I came out 80% Tory, 20% Labour, weirdly enough. I thought it might say I was a Lib Dem.

                  The votes for my constituency come out 26% Lab, with the Cons in 5th place with 14%. Which is odd as it's been a Tory safe seat for 30 years. Shows how little you should believe these things.
                  Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                    Huh, I don't get any LibDem at all. Weird.

                    My constituency - staunch Labour strong-hold - shows the Greens doing best followed by Labour/Libdem in a tie.

                    But, their national figures show Tory support in 5th place so I wouldn't read too much into it.
