[Helgoland]

OK, took the test again, answering a bit differently this time - result's pretty much the same, though.

fucking nowhere more or less

[Owlbread]

Though the rejection of the SNP smarts I am glad that everywhere I look the Democratic Unionist Party and New Force never seem to get above 30%.

But how does it feel to be a Lib Dem, Helgoland? 80% is quite striking.

[Helgoland]

What's a Lib Dem?

To be honest, most of the issues I really didn't care about - and some questions were plain ol' missing.
"Should the European Parliament itself be able to bring in new legislation for voting?"
"Should the EU start unifying the national armies into one European military?"
"Should the subsidies for agriculture be drastically reduced?"

Stuff like that.

[LordSlowpoke]

...we should allow the single most important area of europe's economy to be replaced by imported goods?

helgo, explain to me how this is good in any sort of manner

The Liberal Democrats, one of our governing parties.

There's a lot of Lib Dems in this thread, I'm starting to get concerned.

[Dutchling]

Looks like a good party to me.

I mean, assuming all it's politicians are awesome and read that wikipedia top summary daily

I am desperate to know. Where do you guys lie in the UK party break downs?

I oblige -

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Labour Party - 60%
BNP - 53%
UKIP - 53%
Conservative Party - 53%
UCU (Ulster) - 53%
DUP (Ulster) - 47%
LDP - 47%
Plaid Cymru - 33%
SNP - 33%
Green Party - 27%
Sinn Féin - 23%

Well, no party really has close political views as me - 60% match is pretty low. And even then I have contention with Labour/UKIP/BNP/CP in many areas. For example I am for Bologna standards, tax on financial institution and Eurobonds. Also I was for help to poor areas of EU. That were the main points of contention with the first 4 parties. I am really at odds with Sinn Fein and the lower half of parties for my nuclear, enviromental and foreign policy stances. Most of the things I said no was because I dont think EU should regulate that policy on supranational level - like maternity leave, CO2, fish and eurotax.

From all the parties in EP I have most at common with UMP (Nicolas Sarkozy's party) from France -80%. Honorable mentions - Blue Coalition from Bulgaria and Sűdtiroler Volkspartei from Italy.
The most disheartening fact for me is that I have max 53% with parties from my country (SK). And that 53% party doesn't even exist anymore (I wouldn't vote for them anyway because I know they are in reality really really bad).

[Jopax]

Heh, no Croatian parties in the stats, should be some next year I hope, since the joining is fairly recent. Also somewhat worrying is that apparently more users voted for ACTA than MEP's o.O

Anyways, here's mine :

British National Party  27%
United Kingdom Independence Party  20%
Democratic Unionist Party (Northern Ireland)  20%
Ulster Conservatives and Unionists-New Force  20%

Funnily enoguh most of the differences with the highest ranked parties come from either them not being present for some of the votes or me abstaining on some silly stuff like national flags.

[Sheb]

Not surprising, Croation only joined in 2013 and the last European elections were in 2009.

So, here is me...

Spoiler: UK Parties, no shocks here... (click to show/hide)

54%: Sinn Fein
