Detailed results

 
Welcome to How To Vote! Answer some simple questions from a choice of categories on what you believe in (as many or as few questions and categories as you like) and the site will tell you which of the three main parties best matches your opinions, based on their published manifestos.

This is an entirely independent site and I've balanced each question to ensure that there's no statistical bias in favour of any party. Over 50,000 people used this site at the 2001 and 2005 general elections to help them decide How To Vote. The 2001 version and 2005 version are still online if you'd like to find out how you could have voted five or nine years ago.

Let's get going:

Which of the following policy areas would you like to express an opinion on? (select as many as you like!)
Taxes and money	Health	Education
Asylum and Immigration	Europe and the World	Defence
Civil Liberties	Crime and Punishment	Society
Work and companies	The Environment	Transport
Housing and Development	Local issues	Devolution
Democracy and Government	Economic Recovery

At the moment do you have a particular preference for one of the following parties? (this won't affect your result) Conservatives   Labour   Liberal Democrats   No particular preference

Right! You're now all ready to say what you think! Answer as few or as many as you like - it's completely up to you.
