My friend Richard Garvie put me onto this site: ISideWith 2014 Political Quiz. It's not entirely comprehensive, but it's probably more insightful than just a bit of fun. Turns out I side 96% with Labour (which was a little higher than Richard), 91% with the Lib Dems, and 85% with the Greens, and I'm only 56% Tory, and least of all BNP which is a relief. Care to post your leanings?

QUOTE (Ron @ Mar 2 2014, 10:54 PM) Results above show what I always thought. This forum should be renamed the Newbury Labour Today Forum!:) I’ve varied between Cons/Libs/Lab over my voting life of some near 60 years and thought I was pretty tolerant, so I was a bit surprised to find that I had 82% UKIP 73 C 57 Lab 39 Lib. Well, given that UKIP seems to be high in the scorelines, perhaps the Fruitcake Forum would be a better title!

QUOTE (Strafin @ Mar 2 2014, 11:16 PM) I got 78% Labour, 71% SNP, 70% Green, 69% Lib Dem, 63% BNP, 36% Tory and 30% UKIP. And I used to be a Tory councillor! How racist of you

This is where the UK parties lie Charlie: For some reason I can't embed the image, but here it is. You and I would sit well in the Greens.
