Because I was horrified at how astonishingly bad that last Canadian Party Selector was, I decided to create my own.

Take it here.

It probably still needs more refinement, but it gave me a lot better results than the other one, so that's a start.

I got some seriously odd answers:

1. Bloq Quebecois

Mais je ne voudrais pas l'independence pour le province du chiens!

2. Liberal Party

yeah, OK

3. Marijuana Party

Although I voted against their view on all the marijuana/drug questions...

4. Marxist-Leninist Party

I think I took the dictator question to a too-deep level Wink

5. New Democratic Party

Myeh, OK

6. Parti verte du Canada

I thought the oppresive English didn't fit.

7. Conservative Party

I think there might be a slight anti-CP bias on this selector

8. Christian Heritage Party

No surprises Smiley

<excuse>Um... the test isn't perfect? Smiley</excuse>

I guess it kinda still needs work.

it's better then I could do. I meant to say "I hope my comments help in making it better" but I didn't-My apologies Smiley

I may update it, but I probably won't, as I just made it for the heck of it and I'm lazy. Smiley

Yeah, okay, so this test sucks.  Sue me. Smiley

Weird.. Conservative and Liberal top 2?

Actually, the Liberal Party is the least liberal of the leftist parties.  Go figure.

This test is non-specific enough that I actually more or less answered every question in the liberal direction. My results:

#1. Bloq Quebecois
#2. Green Party
#3. Liberal Party
#4. Marijuana Party
#5. NDP
#6. Marxist-Leninist Party
#7. Conservative Party
#8. Christian Heritage Party

Now, this would make perfect sense...if I hadn't voted against Quebec.

I think that that specific problem is more a failing of SelectSmart.com than something I can fix... SelectSmart.com really should let you weight questions.

1) BQ
2) Liberal
3) Green
4) Marijuana Party
5) NDP
6) Conservative
7) Marxist Leninist
Cool Christian Heritage

You think that sounds right for me, Gabu?

As I've said before, this test was a lot more flawed than I had initially hoped, so... not really.

Then again, libertarians and populists don't really fit into any political party in Canada.
