The only problem with this sort of thing is that I know of people who actually used quizzes like this to pretty much decide who to vote for last time round Rolling Eyes

There's so much more to these questions than yes or no...

The answers were far more in-depth than just yes or no, I used the "Choose another stance" option on every question, and the options provided were certainly more than Yes or No.

And even then you could give your own answer the question if you wanted, although it did state it would make the quiz less accurate.

I know people who will vote for Obama because he's black. I know people who will vote for Romney because Obama is not a real Christian. Taking this quiz to decide is far superior to either of those stances.

Yeah there were Pam, and the additional choices were quite useful for being able to give a more accurate answer, still just one line answers though. Adding your own answer I figured was useless as it wouldn't be factored into your score, plus I thought writing a long answer that nobody was going to read would be a bit useless. It's definately a better quiz than most of the others though.

Yeah Bork I suppose it is, still a poor way of deciding who to vote for though. Maybe it's particularly annoying over here because people are generally so disinterested and apathetic about politics they only pay attention for the few weeks leading up to an election and have to rely on tools like this to decide. I swear my sister wouldn't even be able to tell me who the home secretary was, or even the deputy PM. I's not fair that her vote counts as much as mine!
