The Dutch are suffering from the introduction - and preemptive sidelining - of fancy new voting machines, reports the BBC. Reduced to selecting from a morass of parties and politicians with red pencil, many of them have turned to StemWijzer.nl for advice. The site is about as sophisticated as an online personality test, but with blurbs of each party's position on 30 issues (from "Should Schiphol Airport expand?" to "Should Turkey become a member of the EU?"), it's a helpful resource.
I took the "quiz", and came up as a middling match of EénNL (One Netherlands), a moderate nationalist party, and the ruling ChristianUnion (English site) party.

Update: the ChristianUnion won a plurality in the election, but will have a tough time forming a coalition in the closely divided parliament: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/22/AR2006112200279.html
