Hi,

Also we have these internet pages were you can aswer 30 questions and it gives you an advice what party fits you best.


Yeah, those are funny. Most of them are based on the written party platforms and the promises of the political parties before an election, and we all know how they tend to keep these promises once the elections are over.

No, it's much better to read the newspaper during the time between two elections IMHO, to see what the politicians actually say and do unburdened by election campaigns and the official party platforms, to get a real impression what each party is up to.

So true. And if you are allready somebody who is interesed in politics you will find your own reasons to vote for whatever party.
A funny thing is though that a lot of people voting on one of the parties that are more to the center (both lef and right) vote out of some kind of habit for years and years already while the ideas of these parties have changed enourmously. So when they fill in these questionaires they often find that they have absloutely no connection with the party they always vote for. It would ne nice for those people to start questioning themselves a bit, and try to make a choice based on their opinions instead of just voting for the same party.
