If you don't know who to vote for, I recommend using vote compass to see how closely you align to the parties.

I'm usually disappointed by the vote compass. Lately it has been putting me between the Liberals and Cons because I am ambivalent about social issues and left leaning on economic issues. If you think it is non of the government's business which race/gender you are, that is putting you on the right these days.

Isn't the right trying to tell people what race and genders are valid...

They've introduced a feature at the end where you can choose to weight your answers, so the social issues you don't really care about can be weighted 0 and get a more accurate result.

I got the same result for the same reason.

I think the parties not releasing their platform until so late makes it incorrect.

It’s a good idea, but not good this election.

There's a "weight your results" button that let's you indicate how much you care about each question.
