Similar to GoatandTricycle and villa-ru. The online tests gave me 94%/93% for LD/Green with Labour ~75% and everyone else <35%, but this was before Labour's manifesto had been released so I'd expect that to increase their percentage fit.
I'll be voting tactically (Labour) in what was Justine Greening's seat (and she only had a ~1500 majority over Labour in 2017, down from a 10,000 majority in 2015).
I'm hoping for anything that prevents the Tories forming a Government and shoving Brexit through, some days it seems possible, other days not. The fact that the Tories have so much support despite all of the shite that has been going on is the one thing that fills me with despair and a crushing sense of inevitability.

On those online test things I usually come out Green, followed by Lib Dem then Labour.
I grew up in Dorset, generally Lib Dem vs Tory seats. I’ve predominantly voted Labour.
I feel the lack of cohesion on the left and remain will result in Brexit being finalised. I don’t understand how people who don’t want to leave the EU or a Tory Government can be happy with Swinson getting a mauling. A good Lib Dem return seemed essential to a non Tory government. I think the Lib Dem’s haven’t had the best strategy. The optimist in me hopes that proves more appealing to Tory swing voters than it does to myself.
Laying all the blame with Lib Dems seems churlish as Labour seem equally accountable, also not sure what I think about the Greens in that regard.
I think it’ll be close whether the Tories manage to get a majority or not.
I’ll be voting Labour in a 77%~ labour seat.
