Determining your position can be a near full-time job. Who has time for that, especially living abroad? Take five minutes to answer these questions and presto! Your ideal candidate will make him (or her) excellent self known.
Each of the 36 question on the Electoral Compass is given one of the following: completely agree, tend to agree, neutral, tend to disagree, completely disagree, no opinion, and from there, your opinions are lined up with the candidates.

Here are a few examples of the questions:
  • Stricter gun control will not reduce crime
  • The US should never sign international treaties on climate change that limit economic growth
  • The federal government should reduce income inequality
  • Iran is not an imminent threat to world peace
  • All illegal immigrants without a criminal record should be given the right to stay in the US legally

I learned that Democrat Barack Obama was my perfect match, and that Republican Mike Huckabee and I saw almost nothing eye-to-eye.

Interestingly, the Electoral Compass was created by several Dutch businesses and organisations, so clearly we were not alone in having trouble determining our perfect matches.

Shall we send it to our friends actually casting the votes?

All in favour, say "Aye".
