I decided I'd put my own political affiliation to the test and answer the 30 questions too (but in English rather than Swedish because I want to get some kip at some point tonight)
I am pleased to say that the result was for the SNP, but only just.
The Greens (and the Tories, but I'm glossing over that) are only a kick in the teeth away from being my first choice.
Martin Ford is backing them and Joanna Lumley is backing them, maybe more people should hop onboard the Green machine, myself included? And hey, it would keep the BNP out in some constituencies too...
PS As I type I have learned that Mrs Tactical Voting scored almost a direct hit with the SNP, her results matched the Nationalists of ALL the parties in Europe. I have tears in my eyes....

Who did Mrs STV go for in the old country?
It was a toss-up between the main two parties. And let's say, given my apparent proximity to the Tories, I shouldn't be too displeased with who got the X in the box. I think they're called the Moderate party.
Incidentally, I was interested to learn that these European elections will see a right of centre party win the popular vote in Sweden for the first time since 1914.
News for you, Jeff. That site profiled me as SNP!
Haha, that's brilliant SU. And certainly one way to damn the reliability of the website.
I can't help but wonder what your answer was for Question 30:
"Scotland should leave the United Kingdom and become an independent state"
I can't imagine you hit "neutral" or "no opinion"!
Then again, if you want to join up, just give me a shout and I'll make that dream a reailty for you... ;-)
It's a kind offer...
... but a rejected one, I get it.
Incidentally, I would be genuinely fascinated in a Scottish Unionist post on who you voted for (assuming you'll be voting) and why.
Just a bit of free market research for you there my old chumaroo.
I try to sit on as many such fences as humanly possible in the interests of "pan-unionism", but just for you, here (fwiw) is my profile.
Much obliged Sir.
Without wanting to sound like your mother, you need to do more recycling sonny ;)
And you are more SNP than I am, I find that wonderful in a very perverse way.
PS Funny that you try to sit on the fence so often given how far you are from a Lib Dem vote...
Actually, I have tremendous respect for various LibDem underpinnings - just not their policies on nuclear power or local taxation, for example!
Moderates were big gainers in the Alliance for Sweden pact. Seem to be doing reasonably in Government.
Hang on a minute! I was judging this by the way the linked graphic looks. But in fact, they list me like this on another tab. All a bit strange... entertainment purposes only?
Very much entertainment purposes only.
I mean, come on, I didn't get asked anything about £500m of budget cuts which is clearly the overriding reason to vote for the SNP.
I do get the impression you are a floating voter SU...
Very much so. Anyway, goodnight!
Here's an idea: SU, you vote SNP, then that frees Jeff up to vote Green. Thoughts?
It does appear from that chart that Labour are now regarded as being fractionally to the right of the Tories. Shouldn't be a surprise, I suppose...
i came up a tory, which i guess i am, just that i am a scottish nationalist/unionist who believes the capital is edinburgh not london.
Mrs Circumstantial Times is also Swedish and also voted Modaraterna. Given that I'm an SNP member, I guess it's a small world.
