    In between the Tories and Greens, 72% and 70% respectively. Although it put me pretty close to the BNP as well, 67%, which made me laugh.

    It doesn't seem to take the party probability into account though. I put Lib Dems as 10, Tories at 7 and Greens at 5. All the rest at 0.

    Edit: The overseas voter rules are a pain though. Got to register before May 19th...

    Banquo , what did you think of the referendum question in the link?
    I wonder if anyone from Ireland answered no , which of course would require a referendum

    For the sake of comparison, I took the UK (England) test. The result was that I should vote BNP.


    Duh, no it wasn't. I got the result I expected, Liberal Democrats. It also appears I'm closer to Labour than I'd care to know...

    I will naturally vote MoDem. (click for link)

    MoDem is part of the EDP (European Democratic Party). The EDP is losely allied with it's transatlantic ideological kin, the US Democratic Party. No UK party fits the bill. See below for your country's affiliated party.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    The European Democratic Party (EDP) is a centrist European political party in favour of European integration. It was initiated on April 16, 2004 and formally founded on December 9 in Brussels. François Bayrou of the Union for French Democracy (UDF) and Francesco Rutelli of Italy's Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy serve as the first two co-presidents.

    The EDP was founded in reaction to the rising influence of eurosceptic parties within European institutions. It drew pro-European centrist parties from the European People's Party to form a new centrist multinational bloc.

    The reformism is another the principal standard of the party and in fact the PDE assembles center reformists in a transverse way, either if they are of social Christian or social-democratic or a mixture does not matter.

    Its cofounder François Bayrou described it as a party for people being neither conservative nor socialist, like the United States Democratic Party.

    Current members' parties are:

    Belgium

    Citizens' Movement for Change (Mouvement des Citoyens pour le Changement)
    Cyprus

    European Party (Ευρωπαϊκό Κόμμα), formerly New Horizons (Νέοι Ορίζοντες)
    Czech Republic

    Path of Change (Cesta změny)
    Spain & France:

    Basque Nationalist Party (Euzko Alderdi Jeltzalea)
    France

    Democratic Movement (Mouvement démocrate), formerly Union for French Democracy (Union pour la Démocratie Française)
    Italy

    Democracy is Freedom – The Daisy (La Margherita - Democrazia è Libertà)a
    Lithuania

    Labour Party (Darbo Partija)
    San Marino

    Popular Alliance (Alleanza Popolare)
    aNow merged into the Democratic Party (Partito democratico)

    Additionally, other independent MEP's have also integrated into the EDP:

    Ireland

    Marian Harkin, Independent MEP


    I am very much in favour of a merger with the ELDR (Parti européen des libéraux, démocrates et réformateurs), into one large, liberal, moderate party, the Alliance des Démocrates et des Libéraux pour l'Europe. This would create a common centrist party to include the likes of, amongst others, the German FDP and the British Liberal Democrats.

    It's good fun to do the different national tests. The same basic thirty questions are asked, with two more country-specific ones. They really show national pre-occupations:

    France: the impact of globalisation on the social and egalitarian society

    Belgium: the functioning of the federal state

    Germany: should the (former) communist party be allowed into a federal coalition? And nuclear energy.

    Ireland: EU referendum and public finances

    UK (England): the two specifically British questions were:
    All residents of the UK should be required to have a national ID card in order to help fight terrorism, tackle identity fraud, prevent illegal working and improve border controls
    The expansion of airports in England should be encouraged so as to create jobs and boost competitiveness

    Spain: autonomy and (de)centralization of national government.

    I don't think you understood the structure of that quizz very well, did you?

    You notice I disagree 100% with the BNP's social outlook, and to be honest the questions on immigration were too vague and too few to allow one a proper indication of where they sit on the political spectrum.

    I am closest to the Tories, if you look closely.

    Ah right, it's just you said "not surprised" which suggested to me that you weren't surprised because you would normally support them. If you read your first post I think you'll find you were a bit misleading, to me it seemed like you were indicating that's where your nominal political views fell.

    But w/e no need to be snarky..

    We're cool.

    I was not being misleading, you allowed your feelings to carry you away onto some line of thought which allowed you to think that a person whom can claim Jewish and Magyar ancestry would vote for a bunch of rascists like the BNP

    I take it very seriuosly when someone believes I am a fascist.

    But, yeah its cool.

    Don't really think I allowed my feelings to get carried away, my posting mentality was pretty much cool as a cucumber. Was just wondering, ya know.

    Not once did I call you a fascist either, nor did I imply I believed you were one, I was just wondering where your political stance lied seeming most people have posted where their EU position was then the political party they support. You just said you weren't surprised however, hence the reason I asked ..

    I found it misleading. But hey, you've now made it clear where your political views lie..

    If I Knew my question would invoke such a reaction from you I wouldn't of asked, but ah well water under the bridge and what not. Sorry.
