      Interesting. I was aware of Vote Compass, but the Build a Ballot was new to me. Will save that for next time.

        I got partway through Vote Compass, until it started asking Data Harvesting questions. Why does it need my Income, gender and gender identity to tell me how to vote? Religion should also be irrelevant!

        The answers were pretty generic too. How many asylum seekers should we let in? “At least as many as required by UN obligations.” None of this “Much More”, “More”, “Same”, “Less”, “Much Less” rubbish!

          Heh heh. Actually they didn’t get my vote - a party of witches is a bit of a misnomer. According to Terry Pratchett, the collective term for a group of witches is an argument. I agree with that definition.
