I’ve used the Vote Match 2010 service to test my preferences against the policies of the political parties to see who I should be voting. I am not terribly shocked that it suggests I should support the Liberal Democrats.
My results were:
78% Liberal Democrats
70% Green Party
57% Labour Party
27% Conservative Party

Thanks for the link, it’s clarified something that I had been feeling but couldn’t put my finger on.
The party order came out as expected but just look at the match magnitudes compared to your own.
Libs 46%
Cons 42%
Lab 29%
No surprise I’m struggling to feel ‘represented’.
