You can answer 'prefer not to say' to any personal stuff; the vast majority of it is to see how close or not you are to the parties. It turns out (as I suspected) that I need not bother voting...

It won't change if your attitude is 'It'll never change'.

Not true. For instance

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/ ... 90713.html

Apart from the usual green/orange bollocks, that party seemed like a breath of fresh air (yes, really, you've probably no idea how bad it is) until it became clear they couldn't organise a shag in a whorehouse. Even the most moderate parties over here are mind-bendingly clueless.

Apparently, 29.7% Alliance for me. *shrug*

I'd imagine that would be about 'right' as someone who probably isn't as tainted by the Troubles or however you wanna put it.

I'm a unionist, but on bread and butter politics I've probably got more in common with republicans! That's why NI21 made me look again, but they're obviously as daft as Alliance when it comes to getting involved in the tribal BS.

30 for Labs, 27 for Green and Labobour, 10 for Conservatives and 0.9 for UKIP

So, none of the above.

Came up as overwhelmingly green. I like voting green at EU elections.

Mine came in as Lib Dem on 40.8 which isn't a strong match. Still unsure who to vote for as I don't trust a single one. In conversation the consensus is "gravy train".

Nothing above 20% for me on any party.

I'll go with my usual policy of picking the candidate with the most comedy eyebrows then :s

Green party - 18.3%
Labour - 15%
UKIP - 14.4%
LibDem - 10.0%
Conservative - 4.4%

Unlikely to vote for Conservatives, UKIP and probably Labour. Never really considered Green Party but I may well vote for them. Need to read up on them more first.

30 odd for labour and a bit less for Lib Dems. UKIP came bottom with 7.
