Election 2007: Pick Your Party Website

**pete** · 14/05/2007, 3:48 PM

This is a non-partisan website that has been put together in order to help voters make an informed choice about which party to choose in the upcoming Irish general election.

PickYourParty.ie

Some unusual categories & uncertain means of ranking parties but a bit of fun nonetheless.

Must be a pretty strange algorithm they're using. They correctly identified my closest political alignment with the Labour Party, but cited my three highest priorities as Northern Ireland, EU Strengthening and Immigration (when I explicitly graded them lowest of all.)

I got the Greens.

Voting 1 means that you strongly lean in one direction on whatever statement the issue is.

Progressive Democrats, no idea why.

The exact same thing happened me

**Risteard** · 14/05/2007, 8:37 PM

Greens then Sinn Fein and then Labour.
Probablt about right considering the 3 parties that were there.

Oddly I'm Fianna Fail, despite being linked with the Greens in 4 areas, Fine Gael in 2 and Fianna Fail just once. Plus I'm pretty sure I ranked Northern Ireland, EU Strengthening and EU Enlargement as my least important issues, not my biggest issues (thats crossing bridges with railings more than half a foot apart)

All in all.....worst site ever!!!

Labour me @rse. Actually the questions were rubbish.

**Magicme** · 15/05/2007, 10:44 AM

It got me right but was shocked to see I agreed with FF on the Northern Ireland issue! Then it is bout only thing that **** has done rite.

**drummerboy** · 15/05/2007, 11:22 AM

Sinn Fein. I'm gobsmacked

**pete** · 15/05/2007, 12:15 PM

I apologise for putting this link up as that site is ridiculous.

I have done it a few times changing answers a little, latest time i was given Labour Party despite not closest to them in any issues...

Thats what I was thinking. The bit about listing your 3 most important topics is rubbihs though as you can see that when you're ranking them.

For the record I'm closest to Labour
