A new online tool developed by universities across Europe will place people’s views on the political spectrum. The EUVOX Voting Advice Application poses a series of questions about people’s political, economic and social views.
The responses will then be matched the manifestos of the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, Ukip and Greens. Academics from Swansea University, Zurich University, Glasgow University and Queen’s University Belfast have worked on the project.
It is hoped the test will help to increase turnout at the European elections, which stood at just 34.7 per cent in 2009.
