Party similarity also uses climate and constitutional scores, so it reflects more than a point on the two-axis grid.
Manifesto baseline
Party reference points are editorial estimates from their 2024 manifestos, shown with links and methodological caveats.

METHODOLOGY
How Compass scores your answers
The result is a summary of these answers, not an objective definition of your politics and not a recommendation about how to vote.
Weighted scoring and normalisation
Each five-point answer moves one or more value axes. Scores are divided by the maximum possible movement across the full questionnaire, producing a -100 to +100 result. Marking an issue important multiplies its effect by 1.6.
Four-dimensional party matching
The similarity score uses the root-mean-square distance between your economic, freedom-and-order, climate and constitutional scores and each party reference profile. Grid proximity alone does not determine the result.
Manifesto reference profiles
Reference profiles are Road to 326 editorial estimates from the 2024 general-election manifestos. They do not measure delivery, candidate quality, tactical voting or policy changes since the election.
Design influences. The two-axis map follows the familiar economic and social distinction used by Political Compass-style tools. Five response weights and normalised multi-axis scoring draw on the transparent approach used by 8values. Manifesto comparison follows the policy-first principle used by Vote for Policies.
Coverage. We compare Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Green, Reform UK, SNP and Plaid Cymru. SNP and Plaid are shown only in their nations unless you choose UK-wide. Northern Ireland has a distinct party system and is not yet modelled.
BEFORE YOU USE THE RESULT
UK political compass questions
What the party match means, which manifestos are covered and how your answers are handled.
What is a UK political compass quiz?
It is a questionnaire that maps your answers across more than a single left-to-right scale. Road to 326 measures economic policy, freedom and order, climate, and constitutional reform before comparing the result with modelled party profiles.
Will the quiz tell me which party I should vote for?
No. It shows which modelled manifesto profiles are closest to the answers you give. It cannot assess local candidates, party delivery, tactical voting or every issue that may matter to your decision.
Which UK parties are included?
The comparison includes Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Green, Reform UK, SNP and Plaid Cymru. Regional filtering removes parties that do not stand across your selected nation. Northern Ireland's distinct party system is not yet modelled.
Are the party matches based on manifestos?
Yes. Party reference profiles are Road to 326 editorial estimates based on the parties' 2024 general-election manifestos, with a direct link to each manifesto. They do not claim to measure delivery or every policy change since the election.
Are my political compass answers stored?
No. Your answers remain only in the open browser tab. There is no sign-in, email gate or submission of quiz answers to Road to 326.
