1-Liberal Democrats 2-Plaid Cymru 3-Scottish National Party 4-Labor 5-Conservitive 6-Green(YES! This sounds right atleast!) Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: JohnFKennedy on May 25, 2004, 03:55:21 AM Did you all vote for Proportional Representation?
That may explain why you have all of the smaller parties so high, they all want proportional representation as it benefits them more. Also if you voted for the Euro, that may have helped. Mine: 1. Conservative 2. Labour 3. Green Party 4. Liberal Democrats 5. Plaid Cymru 6. Scottish National Party :o I am a Labour supporter! Not a Tory supporter! Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon on May 25, 2004, 09:18:30 AM I did vote for proportional, but voted against the Euro... though probably my strong stances favoring devolution tipped the scales.
Maybe the test is just ed up :) Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: Bleeding heart conservative, HTMLdon on May 25, 2004, 09:19:56 AM Maybe you should vote Tory this time :)

Maybe I should just go outside and shoot myself. :) I will vote for Tony Blair if he is still the Labour candidate at the first election I will be able to vote in. Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: minionofmidas on May 25, 2004, 09:35:35 AM That would create a vacancy in the Senate.

Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: minionofmidas on May 25, 2004, 09:44:21 AM Australia was highly predictable, except for 1 and 2:
1 AD 2 Greens 3 Labour 4 Libs 5 Nats 6 One Nation I think I've never had to click on "high" that often in any SelectSmart thingy before.

OK, my first wasn't a big surprise... ;) 1. Conservative 2. Greens 3. Labour 4. Lib Dem 5. Plaid Cumry 6. SNP Apart from the Greens, this ranking makes sense. Australia: 1. Liberal Party 2. National Party 3. Labour Party 4. One Nation (ARGH!) 5. The Greens 6. Australian Democrats I predicted both of my numberone results correcty, for the first time I think on any of those tests. :) Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: Gustaf on May 25, 2004, 11:51:28 AM Might want to test this one too. British political idelogies, not as good since you can't pick varying importance for different things.

Plaid Cymru is the welsh version of the SNP. And Australian politcs ar better then Canadian politics, which you seem to have an affinity towards. Anyway, my UK test results: 1.Lib Dems 2. Plaid Cymru 3. SNP 4. Labour 5. Greens 6. Tories Bout right. swap SNP and Labour though. Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: Filuwaúrdjan on May 26, 2004, 07:26:17 AM Er... how old is that test?
Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: Platypus on May 26, 2004, 07:29:31 AM I did the aussie one, and ARGH! EEEW! BEURK!
1. Australian Democrats-No complaints 2. SHOCK! HORROR! The Liberal Party! *Cleans mouth out with soap* 3. The Greens-can someone explain how I got the libs before the greens, and the greens before labor?!? 4. The Nationals-WH?A!? I live in a city of 4 million people, godammit! 5. The Labor Party-under the libs, nats and greens? This test has no credibility 6. One Nation-at least PART of it is right :S Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: YoMartin on May 26, 2004, 05:10:23 PM Results I did not expect:
1- Labour 2- Plaid Cymru 3- Scottish Nationalists 4- Lib Dem (actually they would be my first choice) 5- Tories 6- Greens Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: lidaker on May 26, 2004, 05:22:40 PM UK:

Title: Re:International Political Party Selectors Post by: M on May 27, 2004, 09:28:54 AM Yes, that's why they are called nationalists. Unlike patriotism, nationalism has an almost unblemished history of horror and stupidity.

Geez, I thought one of the Brits would get it long before anyone else did. Most British stuff, including ****** is very popular in Sweden. Sweden's relationship with Britain goes back a long time, we are for instance one of the few countries which has never been to war with the UK (not counting the so called "fake war" in the early 19th century, in which the only casualties were a few Swedish peasants who were shot by Swedish military when they refused to be drafted for the war...)
