I got that I agree with Fianna Fail most, but I checked my answers, and I disagree with them on pretty much everything. Plus they stink of piss.

It broke, that's 10 mins of my life I'll never get back.

I think the trick to breaking it may have been choosing no party that you are willing to vote for.

I should vote for the Green Party, apparently!

Funnily, I was least matched with Labour, and they're who I'm voting for. Either that quiz is crap and inaccurate or I just don't have a clue what my priorities are!

I got the Nazi Party, which is odd, seeing as they weren't even one of the options.

Fianna Fail - 79%
Fine Gael - 58%
Green Party - 55%
Labour Party - 46%
Sinn Fein - 38%

Seems about right (considering it's based on their election policies and not the actual policies that will be implemented)

Well I had assumed that is what it referred to, but they could have set it out more clearly. =p

It's a bit of a loaded question in its current form

you have to basically select the parties that you would not vote for at the end there. I think alot of people did this wrong based on the thread

All of the questions are fairly black and white and succinct. It's quite clear what they're asking you with this question and it's no different to many of the others which don't allow for any nuance.
