Local elections

Yeh i was slightly to the right of you

shame there are only five different variants in terms of character: Hitler, Stalin, Thatcher, Friedman and Gandhi. I'd hope we're all closest to the latter

I'm also in the left/libertarian quadrant. Is it a fixed thing?

more likely that people who ride bikes and hang out online talking about them have more than just that in common.

Thank F**K for that, the bnp came in last for me on the votematch thing...

this is interesting as well, I'm in the Ghandi section!

I was almost exactly the same as Gandhi.

I've always thought you displayed buddha like qualities..

Ghandi founded the UCL vegetarian society

So does anyone have any compelling arguments for voting for any particular candidate/party?
I'd really like to hear them.

hehe, nice.
I reckon that if I took that test after a trying journey into work, of another month on the tube, my results would be a lot different.

I've done the votematch thing again, as I didnt see the 'neither' button before, this time it came out with Green first and Ken second, and Boris third. I feel slightly better now.

Don't vote for Boris, he's a twit.

:)

Fairly obviously the guardian have a 4 page spread about the evils of the floppy haired clown. In all honest even ignoring the bile, I think he'd be a crap mayor. Floppy hair and being able to insult liverpool does not make him my 1st choice

Votematch came out with Green party top, Left list then Ken for me, and my compass was as left as but two squares up from Tomasito. Fascinating stuff. Everyone at my work is doing the politicalcompass thing now too.

A morlock yesterday

The Johnson Family...

I can't bear the thought of Boris winning but Ken is not ideal and the Greens won't get in anyway.

I just did votematch. Sorry Brian, too late, but it looks like you and Sian are supposedly my homegirls. I can't bring myself to vote liberal.

Julio: voting just encourages them.

green for me.

voted Boris to piss off muesli chomping Guardian t0ssers

The political comps has some questions that are stupid i.e

"a significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political system."

Well of course if there is no one hold an opposing view there is no time spent on the inter party debate so it will take less time. Your agreement or disagreement on this statement holds no value.

i'm voting Winston.

so does anybody know what time tonight/tomorrow we'll start to get a picture of how things are shaping up?

should i care more then i do?

yes

thought as much...
