France having a complete meltdown where some workers have to wait til they're 58 for a full pension! ****ing Tories!

If you really want to depress yourself, take a look at the pension amounts allotted to the individual from various countries within OECD countries. The best... err.. Croatia. The worst? 3 guesses [not Serbia]: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2018/02/retirees-in-these-countries-receive-100-of-a-working-salary/

Here’s an interesting survey, where you pick the policies you like the look of, without knowing which party’s manifesto they appear in. You may be surprised!

I came up with a pretty equal 3 way tie between LibDems, Labour and Greens. Not a spot of blue on my board!

Thanks Chilcs. My personal results came as no real surprise: https://voteforpolicies.org.uk/survey/results/aJWex0nfY8VOiGue#/personal-results
The problem is getting either elected in my constituency. Hence I'm intending to vote Lib-Dem to keep the Tories out. LDs have traditionally given a **** about the Environment, and they are definitely pro-EU.

Kinda proof that you don't read other people's posts Godders. This is well known.

Interesting to see a poll of 560 people who took the survey from Romsey & Southampton North. A constituency which regularly votes in a Tory candidate:

You can see the difference when bald facts meet BS. There's no way on earth a Tory candidate would be voted in unless the electorate knew the blue banner was behind it all.

Well, that was the constituency that came from your personal results.

Now I’m confused.

You posted your personal results, yes? I looked at the constituency results for your postcode. Do it yourself and see if you come up with anything different.

No, I posted the overall results, not my personal ones.

Not mine. That must be a cookie problem with the website. Throes results showed when I first went on the site, before I had even done the survey!

Why not shoot through the survey quickly and post your personal and contituency results. Should be good fun to see the comparison.
