Many people are currently making their voting decisions and policy, party and leaders in the news are all playing a part in shifting opinions back and forth. The following surveys allow voters to compare their views to those of the main parties and offer a solution based strictly on policy.
Who Should You Vote For is a website that was used 1 million times in the 2005 election and has been re-launched for 2010. It asks you to select the party you expect to fit your views before you begin. Vote Match is a website which allows you to enter your postcode and prioritise issues as well as agree/disagree.
Vote For Policies is a website that gives you the option to select which issues you would like to be quizzed on before you begin. At the time of writing, 71,170 respondents have completed the survey and the Green Party is in the lead with 28.41%.
Currently the Green Party is in the lead on most issues including crime, democracy, education, environment, health/NHS, immigration and welfare. Labour are in the lead on Europe, and the Lib Dems are in the lead on the economy.
I would hazard a guess that most of those who completed the survey did not achieve the answer they were expecting or necessarily wanted to get. Given that the Conservatives and Labour are neck and neck (give or take) in the polls, Vote For Policies tells a different story.
Should we be voting strictly on policy? Do these website provide an accurate answer as to who should get your vote? If you have completed a survey, did you get the result you expected?
Most importantly, do these websites provide an appropriate solution for young voters who are struggling to decide who they should support?
A good question. However I do feel policies should play a large or the largest part when choosing a party. It is important that you agree with parties decisions that could impact on your future. The person is unlikely to directly do this. However in contrast the right person for the job in certain circumstances is key. Churchill is a prime example.
