Do you think that is right for you? (If my impression is right, your true first pick would be SPD.)

I sent this test to my mother (the only other in the family who I assumed would care about it), she got SPD on top and the rest about like me - she expected FDP on top.

What I don't understand is how CDU could score higher for me than for my mother or you.

I've never been a member of any party; but you're right, I feel (or rather: felt) sympathetic with the Social Democrats. But never to its "right wing" (Helmut Schmidt, Gerhard Schröder etc.).

My (historical) ideal of a party is the USPD (Independent Social Demoratic Party), which was founded by anti-war Social Democrats during WW I in opposition to pro-war SPD and existed until the early 20s. There has never been a political party with a higher intellectual capacity than the USPD. And it did not shy away from fundamental political debates - debates which were cut short in all other parties. See e.g. the discussions between Karl Kautsky and Eduard Bernstein about a modern interpretation of Marxism. Discussions too sophisticated to be confined to left-right schemes.

Today, I'm actually thinking about voting for the Left Party. Thus, I think my wahl-o-mat result is quite ok.
