    I came out as siding with Jill Stein [94%], with Obama second [80%]. I have higher scores on Republicanism than you other people - 15%, but I'm not too worried about that.

    Seems I agreed more with Obama on Health issues and had a match with Rocky Anderson on Social issues [overall 74%].

    My match to American voters was 54%.

    Otherwise mostly the strong matches were with Jill Stein.

      82% Jill Stein

      68% Rocky Anderson

      67% Barack Obama

      53% Mitt Romney


      51% in line with U.S. voters.

        So, not a statistically-valid sample, but everyone here who's taken that survey finds their position more in line with the Greens than with any of the other US parties putting up presidential candidates. I wonder how different that result would be when taken by actual US voters. I suspect that they're subjected to such a barrage of advertising from the two major parties that most Americans have little idea who Jill Stein is or what she stands for as a candidate; I believe she was arrested and spent eight hours shackled to a chair in a police station for attempting to get into one of the televised "debates" this year.

          Interesting quiz:

          Stein 96%
          Obama 82%
          Romney 8%

            If anyone's interested, Jill Stein, a Presidential candidate (in at least, I believe, 36 states) was arrested outside the venue of the last Obama-Romney farce (see here).

            How anyone can take seriously the corporate shill vs corporate shill that is the 2012 US Presidential election is beyond me.

            There needs to be a fundamental change, which won't be achieved through the (rigged) ballot box. Not least, folks need to get away from tribal politics.

              Is the correct answer.

                My result:-

                92% Mitt Romney on foreign policy, immigration, economic, social, and environmental issues

                60% Virgil Goode on economic and social issues

                59% Obama on foreign policy and healthcare

                45% American Voters on economic and domestic policy issues

                  As I mentioned two posts earlier.

                  Indeed the USA is even more of a de facto one-party state than the UK.

                    and further down the road of abolishing/curtailing civil liberties.

                      heliocentric, we posted at the same time (I've given a link to a news story about Stein's arrest).

                      I like to use the French Presidential election earlier this year as an example of why anglo-saxon politics is totally, completely and utterly corrupt. In the 2012 French Presidential election there were a wide range of candidates, from the far right to the far left. Of course, only three or four of them had a hope in hell of winning the Presidency, but they were from a genuine range of political viewpoints. They weren't in the pocket of Wall Street, like US and UK politicians are.

                      About fourth in the French polls was Eva Joly, of the Green party. Eva Joly was a judge who ferociously went after corruption in French corporations. I always say that Joly was the best President that France never had, because of course she is Norwegion by birth and the French famously never elect anyone as their President who is not French born.

                      In the event the French elected the socialist bureaucrat, Hollande, by a narrow margin.

                      I wonder what Romney, a fluent French speaker, really thinks about it all.

                          His name might already suggest that he has overindulged at a Tea Party.

                            Alex Harvey said all that needed saying about tea parties in 1976....
                            Oh how we could do with Alex being around now.....or how the Americans could do with him....
