With the coming elections the VRT (state television) organizes a series of voting tests; and matches your answers to the views of the participating parties. So you can tell which party would suit you most. The first part of the test (about life quality) is up, at

Come on J, Dark Archer and Arathorn, let's see what parties you'd end up in.

In this part of the test i got:

1)SP.A (socialists, lol)
2)CD&V (christian-democrats )
3)Groen! (green party, duh)
4)VLD (liberal party)
5)N-VA (separatist party)
6)Spirit (random party without any abvious orientation )
7)Vivant (party-toy of a millionaire, quite liberal)
8)Vlaams Blok (fascist party)

Heh..not quite what i expected..but at least i got the fascist way down there.

I've taken the test as well and i got:

1) Groen!
2) CD&V
3) Vivant
4) VLD
5) Spirit
6)SP.A
7)N-VA
8) Vlaams Blok

Funny to see our govenement parties (VLD; SP.A-Spirit) way back in my results. Wasn't exactly what i expected either, i'm not that much of a 'green' boy. But of course this is just a part of the test, scores are fairly close for the first 4 parties, so a lot can change.

Odd questions: "Naar een containerpark moet je gratis alle afval kunnen brengen" Boeiend!

The only party I know is Vlaams Blok, the nazis, but I don't like them, the reason I scored so high on them is because i agree on some of their issues in a much milder form.
This is the list:

CD&V
Vlaams blok
VLD
N-VA
SP.A (socialists?)
Vivant (sounds like a party for elderly)
Spirit (also sounds like that)
Groen!

Can someone enlighten me as to the political spectrum those parties belong to?
In Holland I would vote for VVD, the liberal party.

Hehe...here we go:


LEFT
->far-left :communists (PvDA in Belgium, not on the test tho)
->left: socialists (SP.A, idd)
->leftish: green party, environmentalists at large (Groen!, Spirit), also Vivant which is left/liberal and has actually some interesting views, even if it is the private toy of a millionaire

CENTRAL

->christian-democrats (CD&V)

RIGHT

->rightish: seperatist parties etc (N-VA)
->right: liberal! (VLD, is like the VVD)
->far-right: fascists (Vlaams Blok)

That clear enough? And LOL@ havng Vlaams Blok as second party, haha.

Hmm got

Groen!
Vivant
Spirit
SP.A
VLD
CD&V
Vlaams Blok
N-VA

Was kinda hoping for Spirit though... I mean.. How cool does that sound

Hehe...the three smallest parties are your first three picks, which is kinda...bizarre lol. Apart from DA we all have the christian-democrats in our top-2, heh. Arathorn is even a true "tjeef"

Hehe, maar ten minste geen paap.
What are you planning to vote for at the elections btw? The same as in your test score?

I honestly don't know, see what the test says maybe. There are 3 parts in the test, sunday it will be about money. After that you get a global profile, it could be that i vote for the party that's on top of that. There are a lot of parties coming up together btw, SP.A-Spirit is on one list, CD&V is with N-VA, VLD is with Vivant if i'm not mistaken.

I don't know either. It'd be stupid to take my chance not voting as I got a lot of time on my hands anyway after postponing my thesis. So I don't have that for an excuse. In any case, this test isn't gonna be an indication, heh. Only thing i know is that i ain't voting Vlaams Blok or N-VA. Stupid extremists and seperatists.

Maybe Vivant, they're not getting into the government anyhoo. I'd do a null vote, but that'll go to the friggin liberals or christian-democrats as biggest party. Bah, we'll see.

I read on the vrtkies.net-site that if you vote a blanc, it doesn't go to the majority, that's a common misunderstanding. So if you wanna vote null, it doesn't go to cd&v or something. Didn't know this myself before reading it.

Wtf? when did they change this? COuld have spared me a lot of trouble. lol.

Dunno, maybe it's always been like that. Check here: http://www.vrtkies.net/vrtkies_master/d ... index.html for the info on voting.

Second part of the test is available now, this time about money. Now i got:

1) VLD
2) CD&V
3) Vivant
4) N-VA
5) Groen!
6) SP.A
7) Spirit
8) Vlaams Blok

This time i have a clear winner, rather big gap between VLD and the rest.

Hehe, my results differ quite a bit from previous test.

1)VLD
2)Spirit
3)Vivant
4)CD&V
5)N-VA
6)Vlaams Blok
7)SP.A
8)Groen!

Especially the last three are remarkable...Vlaams Blok not last , and my previous number one, the socialist party, suddenly 7th. But I'm quite satisfied with the green gaylords at the bottom.

Yes, Groen! went down serieusly on my test as well. Was already getting afraid i would turn out to be a treehugger. I can understand how i got a high score on life quality and a low one on money for groen! though.
And Vlaams Blok is way way behind, which isn't a bad thing.

And i see you postphoned the thesis ox, is that due to improper preparation, bad planning, laziness or just bad luck? And do i want to know what it's about?
