We all have a responsibility to cast our vote with a full understanding of the policies we will be supporting . Answer this short questionnaire to uncover any weaknesses in your understanding of how the two major parties intend to address today's most important issues .
For each issue , circle the response , either A or B , which best describes your comprehension of the policies on offer .

You have now completed the questionnaire . For each " A " circled , score one point . For each "B " circled , score zero points . The maximum score is 7 points .
If you scored 7 points , you have no understanding of current politics and should cast an informal vote .
The lower your score , the better your understanding , and you may have time to do some research before voting
If you scored 0 points you have an excellent understanding of current politics . Feel free to vote for anybody , it won't make much difference . ( But don't vote for the LNP . Those fascist bully- boys will wreck the country . )
This has been another non-partisan independent survey by The Sky Reply . The results are always made available for research and public debate free of charge .
Your comrade , Ken .
