Election 2007: Pick Your Party Website

Quote:

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.)

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

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!!!

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

Do the political compass test page and then see how close you are by comparing on their Irish Parties 2007 page. I think it is a better test anyway.

I got Economic Left/Right: -3.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.85

Which is closest to the Socialist Party and the Greens :)
