Who Should You Vote For?

Who should I vote for?

Labour -12
Conservative -54
Liberal Democrat 74
UK Independence Party -6
Green 40


You should vote (if you lived in the UK, that is; subjects of Imperial America need not even worry their pretty little heads over this quaint little voting idea): 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

And this test didn't even have an item asking

I would rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon than vote for Tony Blair:
                   

Which I feel would have made a slight difference in my score for voting Labour (subject, of course, to the disclaimer on the You should vote line; as it sits, I'm at -100 for all of those parties because of a certain unpleasantness that happened a few hundred years ago.)

I was: Labour -20 Conservative -51 Lib Dem 68 UK Independence -5 Green 24

I wonder if that means we just answered everything about the same, or whether the test is rigged to weight Lib Dems' popular issues more heavily.
