I've not seen that quiz before. It's another useful tool for basing votes on principles rather than personalities.
As you say, the parties are only as good as their honesty which isn't usually very high. A problem with previous General elections, between 1987 and 2015, is that the large parties had remarkably similar policies dressed up in a slightly different way, so people had little choice. However, for the first time in a quarter of a century, there are large differences in the visions of the leadership between Labour and the Conservatives. It might be the last chance in our lifetimes we can make a difference.
For those who are concerned about the health service, benefits, pensions, house prices and rents the result will be critical to their future. That's why it's so surprising (and frustrating) to see so few disabled people vote.
