Is this a surprise?

Who Should You Vote For?

Who should I vote for?

Your expected outcome:

Liberal Democrat


Your actual outcome:



Labour 3
Conservative -11
Liberal Democrat 42
UK Independence Party 26
Green 29


You should vote: Liberal Democrat

The LibDems take a strong stand against tax cuts and a strong one in favour of public services: they would make long-term residential care for the elderly free across the UK, and scrap university tuition fees. They are in favour of a ban on smoking in public places, but would relax laws on cannabis. They propose to change vehicle taxation to be based on usage rather than ownership.

Take the test at Who Should You Vote For

I am surprised that neither the Tories or Labour got much of my support and how the Greens and UKIP are right up there with Lib Dems. Guess its my issues based politics rather than doggedly following a single parties doctrines.

Personally I think Labour will still win the General Election with a much reduced margin (less chance of introducing controversal laws) as I believe the Tories deserve another drubbing (just like Labour deserved their drubbings of the 1980's and 1990's), lets not forget that the Tories introduced Speed Cameras and the concept of student loans, even if Labour built on them.

I got a free University Education (more or less) and so did all those politians currently in West Minister, so why should students now be treated any differently, if it was good enough for them it should be good enough for todays students.

I think the national minimum wage is good thing (although it should be higher), as businesses who can't afford to pay minimum wage should not be in business.

I like stable government.
