29 percent of us would vote for The Green Party based on policies alone
29 percent of us would vote for The Green Party in the UK General Election, based on policies alone, a live online survey of more than 17,000 voters has discovered.
The survey, set up by Vote For Policies is aimed at helping voters compare the policies of six UK political parties in a choice of nine major policy areas – Crime, Democracy, Economy, Education, Environment, Europe, Health/NHS, Immigration & Welfare.
When you take the survey you don’t know which policy relates to which party until the end when your real political preferences are revealed.
Vote For Policies is the brain child of three website developers who decided to try and help voters make decisions based on policies, not personalities.
“There’s a lot of personality focused, negative spin distracting voters from what really matters – improving how we live, ” explains one of the founders, Matt Chocqueel-Mangan, “our aim is to help voters make a more informed, unbiased decision about which party to vote for.”

What an incredibly simple yet clever idea. Maybe this highlights the fact that so many voters vote for a ‘brand’ rather than the ‘products’ they peddle? Definitely one to make you think – just a shame that this won’t come to fruition in reality!
