Will be different policies though - and of course they have broadly common ground for a few things.

And depending on how one prioritises certain them too. Whilst i selected 'Most Important' on a good half dozen questions, i'm not sure how well this was reflected in the final outcome.

I think the main thing I learnt from it was how many things it considered worth asking that I don't really have strong views on.

The majority of mine fall into one of three categories: social, the environment and foreign policy.

The question on euthanasia was probably the one i struggled with most. One of those clashes between theory and practice.

The Greens have slipped slightly since the last time I took that test.
It is kind of stupid though. Apparently I side with 10 different political parties on science and the environment. From the far left to the far right and everything in between. Which is blatantly bollocks.
 
If anyone's still interested, someone did a count. It seems Paxman interrupted Corbyn 54 times and May 6 times.
 
This might be my ignorance, but my impression of social media during the campaign has been one of pleasant surprise. The Indy Ref, Brexit, the 2015 GE...the unpleasantness was quite prevalent. Here we are again though, with a totally unnecessary and ugly episode.

For all that i am no friend of Corbyn, even i would acknowledge that this sort of undignified interaction is not how the man likes to conduct his business. Worse, it plays upon =a perception that Labour would rather be forgotten.
 
That guy yesterday attacking Corbyn for imposing a minimum wage on him/his employees... perhaps if you can't afford to pay your employees a living wage then your business is a failure. Perhaps the wellbeing of the millions on minimum wage is more important than the businesses that rely upon the underpaid labor of its employees. Crazy talk in the 21st century I know, crazy I am. Raving!

This country is so far right of me that I feel obligated to emigrate.

More often than not, letting May ramble on did greater harm to the performance. Corbyn, on other hand, wasn't answering the questions put to him. The end result was that they both came across as uninspiring candidates.
 
Currently number 1 in iTunes chart but in official Top 40 it's 7th according to yesterday's chart update and they've replaced it with the old version of the song. Sneaky!

I wonder how they get away with justifying that. If they don't allow any political songs they'd be culling the list far more often.

Ones about the PM, during an election campaign, come with potential legal difficulties?

Yeah. Natalie Bennett wasn't even allowed to say the name of the constituency she's standing in on This Week, loads of random rules particularly on BBC.
 
Looking back over the quiz, it occurs to me that there isn't a question for future NHS spending and how we'll fund such. A glaring omission IMO. Two policy examples being the Lib Dems income tax rise, and UKIP's GP appointments charge.
Is the quiz on ideology or actual current policies?
 
Now, if only there was a way to find out which party chronically underfunds public services and not vote for them.

Not sure how that alters the fact that it was mediocre policy making. Hell, it doesn't even channel the proceeds into reducing said class sizes.
 
Anyone read up on this proposed labour garden tax? My council tax could increase to £600 per month :eek:.
