How should I vote?

I just tried out the stupid "how should I vote" Q&A at GetUp. What a pile of bollocks. It told me to vote Labor, and then preference the Greens.

I put in a set of answers that would have made Attila blush. If it asked me whether we should be setting fire to kittens on a nightly basis, I would have said "yes", and throw in some puppies too.

I cannot for the life of me see how it could generate the results that it did, short of having an engine in the back that said put the Coalition last, regardless of the answers.

It just shows how biased and sucky some of these organisations can be. Scratch a GetUp activist, find a raving socialist.

When I tried this, several times, each time I was told to vote for the Coalition, despite not wanting to and altering my answers quite radically each time. I thought it was a Liberal PR stunt.
