CBC News has a political spectrum quiz -- http://votecompass.cbc.ca/en - they set it up for some elections last year but it will still give use what we're looking for. Try it and leave a comment if you like -- I'm interested to know if you are surprised by the results or not (e.g. did you end up matched up with a party you probably wouldn't vote for?). Also, why do you think people might vote for a party that doesn't match up with their beliefs? What else did you learn from doing this?
My end result, I can agree with. The Green Party has always been my first choice, and that's exactly who I got. This website gives you a pretty good idea on who you could vote for.
ReplyDeleteI found this website very interesting and helpful, but by time I vote my opinions will change.This may no longer be what I feel, I will know more so I will Know who to vote for.
ReplyDeleteMy results were closest to the NDP party. I can kind of agree with it but I had expected to be closer to the conservative party in their views.
ReplyDelete-Courtney
As i had expected i agreed with 85% of Conservative views.
ReplyDeleteI thought I would be more NDP but I'm actually closer to Green and Liberal.
ReplyDeletePeople might vote for the party that doesn't match up to their beliefs because that party doesn't campaign for those beliefs.
This was interesting. I enjoyed answering the questions and seeing which parties are close to the views i see and the NDP who i like was close to it. That votecompass.cbc.ca is a good website. :)
ReplyDeleteI was at a 50% average for each party..but if i was to pick a party it would be green..wordd
ReplyDeleteI was near in the center the cross on the grid which means i am closest to the Green party even though i didnt have the highest percent with the. Percentage wise i was closest to the PC then NDP then GRN and lastly the LIB party
ReplyDeletei was 57% conservative and 56% liberal, i kind of expected that, but was a little surprised. some of the questions were confusing but others i found i had very strong beliefs
ReplyDeleteMy results were closest to Green Party, which wasn't suprising to me, but it was nice to know how much I agree with the other political parties, something I didn't know before.
ReplyDeleteI was matched with the party I like. This was a neat survey/
ReplyDeleteI was matched up with the concervatives. this site is really neat.
ReplyDeleteMy results were that I was likely to agree with NDP or Liberal. Personally, I agree with the results, because I never really agreed with the conservative points of view, especially knowing that they are more anti-gay on the right side of the spectrum. In conclusion, I'm not surprised.
ReplyDeleteI think people might vote for a party that doesn't match their beliefs because they are more interested in a certain politician or party that fits their religion more so than their beliefs.
I was 65% close with NDP party. It was interesting.

ReplyDeleteHaha that's awesome... I always love it when parents take an interest in what their kids are studying. If the printer thing doesn't work you can always fill it with soil and try to grow dandelions.
