To be fair though I'm only slightly right and fairly centralised in my views, although BNP came out third best match :S

Also note that it's probably more important to vote in local elections if you're at all interested in how your neighbourhood should be run.  Often it makes more difference than the general election vote.

European elections require MPs who are able to swing us a good deal and ensure that the UK is included in rule changes and fairly treated generally.

Fair point - that is your view.

My view is that Britain is in a terrible state and we need change. Therefore I voted to hopefully bring about that change. It doesn't necessarily mean things are going to get better, I agree. But atleast I've had my say on things.

Oh come on, this is a prime example of an erectoral vote. It means absolute d*** because we're pretty f***ed whoever wins.

True, and although you'll still probably feel strongly about various political issues, you'll be able to remember that you chose not to have a say about them :P

They also died so we could have the choice not to vote.

I honestly can't see the point, I don't support either party anymore so voting would be a complete sellout for me.
And I haven't researched smaller parties enough to waste my vote on them.

People fought to give us the freedom to vote. Also for secret ballots :P

It's safe to say I did not vote for BNP though :P

So did you end up voting for the BNP? :)

Yeah they were at the top of my voting paper, It was really long, some of the parties I'd never even heard of.

I decided to go with conservative party in the European vote. I think my brother went Lib Dem.

Surely that would be reason enough to vote.

Those who don't vote can't complain.

A protest vote is better than no vote. :P

My ballot paper had a few more parties on it than that website even showed consideration for:

e.g Plaid Cymru
Christian Fellowship party (or something like that anyway)
Jury party
and a few others I can't remember.

That site definately should not be taken seriously...

I still don't get why anyone would vote BNP, but then I supposed some of Germany supported Hilter so anything is possible.

UKIP is a halfway house to this.  It's a typical island attitude of us and them, pretty much without much basis on what the economy or the currency change would actually do for us.  Knee-jerk reactions and xenophobic tendencies throughout the party.  Not to mention their ability to go to Europe and claim expenses for it without actually doing anything.

Apparently, I'm a Liberal Democrat first, a Conservative second, and Labour third - seems about right I guess, even though I'm not that politically minded.

I think that guy also forgets men can be raped too.

Wonder if he would be so casual about it if he was forced into an act of homosexuality by some rough brute...

I haven't taken the test as the page isn't loading at the moment (I'll try again later)... But thought I'd re-post something I put on facebook (minus some expletives...). I realise most people here are too smart to fool for the BNPs spiel, but meh:

I'll try to keep it short, so a couple of reasons not to cast a vote for the BNP:

1) Nick Eriksen, former BNP candidate for the London Assembly, said (and I quote) "I've never understood why so many men have allowed themselves to be brainwashed into believing that rape is such a serious crime. Rape is simply sex. Women enjoy sex, so rape cannot be such a terrible physical ordeal. A woman would be more inconvenienced by having her handbag snatched."
(my next comment cannot be repeated here - it contained a fair bit of swearing...)
He also said "some women are like gongs - they need to be struck regularly"... These weren't 'ironic' or 'joke' statements (even if they were they'd be in incredibly poor taste especially for someone running for public office), they were calculated statements that this guy genuinely saw nothing wrong with. Even the Daily Mail were disgusted...
Daily Mail Story

2) The leaked BNP manual states that Black and Asian brits "do not exist" and should be referred to as "racial foreigners". It goes on to say that the "ultimate aim" of the BNP is "the repatriation of the resident foreigners of the UK" - ie. shipping all non-whites out of the country. Hardly surprising for a bunch of racists but there we go. Looks like they're not just against "unrestrained immigration" or whatever the "anti-new-immigrants" catchphrase is today.

So in short, they're a bunch of thinly veiled racists looking to expel any non-white from the country, who are against 'racial mixing' (ie. they're against your freedom to choose the person you love, want to spend your life with, or want to have babies with), who promote homophobia, sexism, islamaphobia and look to incite racial hatred so they can point and say "look, we were right, different races can't mix because idiots like us stir things up!!!".

So vote for who you like. But don't vote for racist, sexist, homophobic thugs who spend their spare time dressing up as Hitlers mates.

On the contrary, I just said I completely disagree with that 'test' - I know BNP and UKIP are not going to be getting my vote.

I wouldn't even vote for them as a protest.

And anyway, it says you're nearly 60% likely to vote for them :P

Wow, I'm shocked. I thought you guys would be more like me. Edgy and Nin sharing political views with the BNP? I certainly hope thats not right. And Garin a conservative? That's even more absurd!

According to that site:

1. BNP 79.7%
2. UKIP 68.5%
3. Con 67%
4. Lab 62.5%
5. LD 59.6%
6. Green 53.7%

I completely disagree with that analysis.

I still don't know who I'll vote for though..

Nonsense, I'd never vote BNP. I'm planning on going Green this time around. The part where you choose how  likely you are to vote for somebody didn't work for me, which may explain something.

BNP - 58.3%
