GE will be a load of shite. Nobody talking about financial risk or the debt overhang

I'm Labour, followed by Ind, then FF. FG least compatible with my choices!
Well either I've been voting against my own principles or this is complete sh*te.

How long does it take your answers to come up?

AZOffaly

I'm Fianna Fáil. 52% with the Tipperary Candidates for Fianna Fáil apparently. There were no questions about quangos, brown envelopes or cosy cartels with builders though.

Yep. Those politicians that do that type of talking don't tend to get elected.

FG strategy will be verbatim the same as the one the Tories used last year. FG will do well, should really do better. In fairness to them, they have gotten lucky with a global upturn in the economy for the first time probably ever. Amount of seats Labour get is the key.

Still think there will be a 2nd election later in the year .

Wow, the top 7 candidates it reckons I'm closest to will not even get a preference from me, never mind a #1.

Same here. The questions seem to be based on the blazing tabloid/populist issues of the day and the sound-byte solutions to them.That's the only explanation I can find for my answers throwing up four wacky independents, followed by SF, as my top five!

Do you need to register?

No. Just answer the last question and Bob's your mother's brother.

When you enter you address what does it say then? I've a feeling they have no data for my constituency.
