Thread: political compass

  1. #1

    political compass

    One of my friends in cardiff uni helped create this, would be helpful if anyone could give it a go! It's similar to the 'voteforpolicies' that went around last year.

    Holy crap, it turns out I should vote for the Green party. Didn't see that coming.

    Re: political compass

    In all the questions the only thing I disagree with the Greens on is giving 16 year olds the vote and while I'd prefer they didn't, I'm not all that bothered about it.

    yeah that's it, interesting to see how many people with apparently the same views as you vote for other parties. Obviously, as you say it could be down to other matters being more important. I had 43% plaid and -15% tory, but 33% of the people who think like me will vote tory according to these stats.

    Mine was Tory as well. Either they're deluded or I am because my answers were very left-leaning.

    This graph surprised me. After reviewing all the facts it looks like I might just give the Greens a vote after all:

    Its definitely worth doing, i'd say especially in the regional voting

    Re: political compass

    Just did the questionnaire again and gave more thought to my answers this time around and got this. Now I don't know what to think.

    to be fair, plaid and the greens are very similar. perhaps you could look at the main issues you have and see which party is closest to what you want, rather than a general quiz like this. Also, definitely handy to wait until all manifestos are out

    Green 56
    Plaid 54
    Labour 43
    Lim Dems 31
    Cons -4
    Ukip -7

    It's depressing to look at the peer results and seeing that there are lots of people whobhold similar views to me but intend to vote Tory or Ukip

    Very similar to mine, I don't live in Wales so won't be voting but green always have decent policies and then bring a load of mad ones out close to election time.
