US has first past the post and a two-party system and parties shift between 42% to 55% or so; usually closer. Though congressional district was so Democratic the Republicans didn't bother field a candidate, so the congressman was unopposed

[dunno what to put here]

I took the 'isidewith' quiz and thought it was interesting. Even for someone who has an interest in politics I am always surprised by how much I agree with certain parties.



I wouldn't be surprised if a majority of voters sided with Labour on most policies, given they often have broad support. Jeremy Corybn truly is a cancer.

I did that one separately last night and got:

Conservatives 63 %
UKIP 56 %
Labour 39 %
Lib Dem 35 %

This can be compared to Sweden where I did one on the same site in 2014 and got 66 % for the Sweden Democrats.

I side with the SNP the most and the BNP the least. Looks like I want the UK to be teared apart.

Labour 62%
Lib Dem 61%
UKIP 57%
Tories 53%



For the French elections (these are not exactly the actual candidates though):

Tbh I dont know what kizomba is

Kizomba is a dance from Angola. For some reason there's a salsa/bachata/kizomba microcosm over here. Just as there's a rock/lindy hop one.

Yeah salsa is much faster, though you can always begin with slower rhythms:

Yeah, pretty expected. At the moment the Labour Party seem to make the most sense, although every party is a bit "undecided" on their policies at the moment.

Did Sweden again and got 75 % with Sweden Democrats. Must've been a landslide since the others didn't even show up

Other countries where I answer what I felt I could take a stance on, can't follow every single country's internal squabbles lol

Conservatives (UK) 63 %
Liberals (Aus) 66 %
AfD (Ger) 76 %

Those are the only parliamentary systems that I find relevant to take at this moment, for linguistic and cultural reasons. Those three countries are arguably the three most common for Swedish expats to reside in as well.

[B87]

I got:

72% Lib Dem
64% Labour
64% Sinn Fein
63% SNP
59% Plaid Cymru
57% Conservative
56% Green
47% BNP
46% DUP
46% UKIP

I would only ever vote for Labour if they had a Blairite in charge. I'm also surprised that the terrorist party is joint 2nd, despite me answering extremely harshly on all of the terrorism questions.
