Determine which party may be best for you...

Use this questionnaire to see which party thinks most like you. Put a higher value into the weighting if the question is more important to you. Once you've got a feel for which is the best party, check out the party responses to get more detail.

WARNING! The picker-o-matic only contains the Lib Dems responses right now since they're the only party to respond (see home page and/or party correspondence and/or party responses for more).

Many many thanks to Oliver Benson for fixing the Mozilla error.

Apologies to all of those who filled out the form and couldn't get it to work and/or who didn't read the bits about who's responded...
