I got - Conservatives - 40% Green - 30% Liberal Democrats - 20% Labour -10% Given that I always thought I was more in tune with Labour, I was taken a little bit aback by that. By category - Crime Conservatives Democracy Conservatives Economy Labour Education Green Party Environment Conservatives Europe Liberal Democrats Foreign Policy / Defence Green Party Health / NHS Conservatives Immigration Green Party Welfare Liberal Democrats

Suffice to say I would bound to have come out as mostly Lib Dem with a hint of Labour and Green. that seems to be the general theme amongst people who are less Lib Dem than I.....

Surely that should read in brackets "but shhhh don't mention the Scottish Prime Minister/Chancellor who ran the country along with the English PM" So, apart from democracy, public transport, subsidies, free health, free education, one of the fairest benefits systems in the world, old age pensions, equality legislation... what have the Romans ever done for us...?!
