I took it. Looks like I have to change my vote completely. I am mostly UKIP, also a bit Liberal and Green. In fact, anything other than Conservative or Labour. Just goes to prove my mates were right all along, I must be weird.

100% UKIP :o

100% UKIP as well, I did vote for UKIP last time as I live in Owen Smiths constituency and they weight his votes rather than count.

I can see it in some ways I am fiscally conservative, but socially liberal. In the USA I would be considered a libertarian as I believe in people taking responsibility for their own actions and a much much smaller state.

I started the survey and clicked on the welsh button to indicate where I was from and then some of the questions referred to English policies so I gave up as.

This was a conversation I was having over the weekend particularly about the health service and social care (areas that matter to me) and that we are being dragged into a popularity contest between Corbyn and May and not any intellectual debate around policy direction for Wales - for me I don't care to a certain extent who is leading in Westminster I am more concerned who is governing Wales and my vote will be based on that rather than what is going on between Corbyn and May

For what it is worth I feel there are certain areas such as education, health, social care, policing that should be governed by cross party mechanisms rather than become the political football that they are. Each successive government tries to change everything within a 5 year window which is never achievable so they just confuse and make worse. This leaves some other colour rosette to come in and change it all around again leaving the people that matter i.e. the front line workers and their "customers" confused and demoralised as a result and generally receiving a poorer service.

50% Green and 50% Labour for me.
Don't think the survey was particularly useful, they all seem to promise the world, it's who you believe will actually keep to their word.

50% Green
25% UKIP
25% Labour


Not a bloody Tory in sight :lol: :lol: :lol:


But GREEN - Really :? :? :?

Quite happy with my outcome but not as widespread as I thought I would be.

I got 100% conservative and I've voted that already. I do consider myself the same as llan.

I'm not left wing or a socialist. I can therefore only realistically vote for one of 2 parties - ukip or the conservatives. Apparently that makes me scum or misguided. Shame people can't learn to respect other views more.

Took the survey and pretty spread out as there were bits of most 'options' I either liked or disliked, so some of the final choices were a bit either or...

Oddly (under the options given) Labour tied with the Green Party for the least favoured Party! :shock:

Seems we need a Government made up of simply the right people for the job rather than being based on an often false allegiance to the political party they believe will take them to the top of the greasiest ladder known to mankind

Diane Abbot is the best example of that to date. In place for no other reasons than to appease a certain section of the Labour Party's backing and because no one else wanted to work with Jeremy Corbyn when he was imposed on them by (mainly) union people who were clamouring to join the Party simply to influence the vote in his favour when it should have been left to the existing members who (agree with them or not) were genuine members at the point a leadership contest was announced

I'd have gone for Andy Burnham myself (I even put a rare bet on him at the start) but the 'fixers' made sure Corbyn was imposed on their MP's; the very people he then had to build up a working relationship with!

I won't be voting directly for Corbyn, May, Fallon, Wood, Nuttall or any other Party leader in this election. I can't (no more than anyone else can) so my vote will go to the 'local' person who I believe will stand up in the best interests of the people who put him/her there in the first place, i.e. their local voting community

The leadership will then be 'gifted' (if that's an apt word in the current climate) to one of the above and the country will need to put their faith in them for the next 5 years, which is a mind-boggling thought when you look at ANY of them currently, as we'll be shafted economically either way! :shock: :cry:
