Very much based on EU issues, compares your answers with the seven European political groupings:

For me it came out at ELDR (the liberals) first, then EPP (christian democrats) then PES (social democrats) then Greens. Then I got negative ratings for the GUE (far left) UEN (right) and EDD (Eurosceptics).

I also did the same thing for the Flemish parties, voting on Flemish issues, at De Standaard’s website, and it gave me quite different results – recommending I should vote for the Socialist/Spirit coalition.

Well, it’s a European election. Plus I know one of the candidates on the Flemish liberal list. So even though they are far more economically right wing than me, they’re sound enough on the European issues which the election is supposedly about, so I’ll vote for the VLD.

But I’ll try and cast my personal vote for a candidate who is running for the European parliament only. Last time I voted for someone who become a minister rather than take up her seat. This time the prime minister is the lead candidate on the VLD list, and there’s no chance of him resigning to become a mere MEP (though he may get better offers than that). So I’ll do a bit more research…
