I posted this last time we had an election, and it's back again.
Just done it, and I don't think it's as good/insightful as last time - doesn't seem to ask about a lot of issues that are important to me, and focuses or traps you into answering a certain way on others. Could it be anything to do with the Torygraph sponsoring it this year? Never!
Anyway, you can find it here:

My top two matches: SNP (64%) and Lib Dems (54%)
Bottom two matches: Tory and BNP (can't remember percentages, and can't seem to go back to it to find out).
Rather disturbingly, 3rd place was UKIP :| I'll never vote for any party that has Nickel Forage as a member :|
"HTTP 500 - Internal server error

And a Javascript Error. God I love IE 6.
1. UKIP
2. BNP
3. Labour
Last: Lib Dem
I'm planning to vote Lib Dem....
They're quite good - the only problem is that while you may agree with the policies, that doesn't necessarily mean that it will happen - didn't Labour say that they wouldn't increase income tax only to then increase national insurance instead, and didn't labour say they wouldn't increase student fees and then do exactly that?
My result comes out at 52% Labour and 47% Lib Dem, but its Lib Dem that'll be getting my vote.
Not that it matters, Banbury has around a 10,000 Tory majority already.
I got Lib Dems first then Greens. :) Apparently I'm 5% more BNP than I am Conservative though...
@Milko: No worky here either. :(
Your first idea sounds good, but I'm going with the second. Voting Lib Dems despite Labour being the top match, as I don't trust them to keep their promises
Not that I completely trust the Lib Dems mind you, but a) I've no basis to mistrust them yet, and b) they're not actually going to win.
I disabled all the silly parties who nobody really votes for.
29%: Conservative
28%: Liberal Democrats
-2%: Labour
I suspect they misunderstood me on some of the answers, though. For instance, while I agree that university tuition fees should be scrapped, I also believe that 80% of university places should be scrapped, but they didn't ask about that.
Other beliefs:
1. Retirement age should be abolished, but free healthcare is limited to "making you comfortable" ten years after retirement.
2. The NHS should also be massively cut back for wasters, freeloaders and the educationally sub-normal.
3. There shouldn't be an English Parliament, because we should devolve Scotland entirely. At which point any Scottish people living in England who have been convicted of a crime should be deported to Glenrothes, Fife ("good for business; great for life"). Also, any Protestants in Northern Ireland should be relocated to Carlisle, then Eire can have their six counties back.
4. Fewer MPs sounds good; none at all would be excellent. All political decisions to be made by phone or web referenda, following informative television debates hosted by Rachel Stevens.
5. Religion to be made illegal and punishable by burning at the stake again. (This will help solve the over-population problem in Carlisle caused by 3.)
(5a. Also homeopathy, reiki and any other blatant bloody nonsense.)
VOTE FOR ME, MOTHERFUCKERS.
This is the first time I'm actually registered to vote (apparently Uni did it for us this year, thanks Uni!) so I'm going to start paying attention! My result was pretty much even between Lib Dem and Labour but Labour can get to fuck. Plus it seems like Guildford was nearly a marginal Lib Dem win last year so go Lib Dem!
