Hi folks,
We've been working on a quick 10 question quiz to go in the weekly email tonight, following the announcement of May 6 as the date of the general election. If anyone has 5 spare mins to help test it and let us know what you think, that'd be fab.
It's a test of how much you know about where your tax-money goes. eg. Do we pay more for debt interest or defence, and what single area does a quarter of all our tax cash get spent on?
One thing we are conscious of is that we don't want to show any bias towards any particular set of political views - this is meant as an informatory (hopefully fun) tool. So if you see anything that you think could be seen as implicit bias or leading questions, please let us know - it doesn't mean we will change but we want to take everything into consideration!

Cheers for your help folks

Hi!
I've just done the quiz and everything worked fine (apart from a strange question in the end that wasn't the same in the results but then I took the quiz again and it was fine). Just one comment: as 4 answers are provided for each question, none of them being "I don't know", people try to guess. And having 4 answer to choose from, gives you some hint about the right answer... So, it won't really show how much we know as we will be influence by the 4 possibilities given.
Just a thought
Cheers,

Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!0 -
All worked fine for me - and I didn't think the questions were too easy or too leading. Otherwise I'm sure I'd have got more than 4!A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0

Its an eyeopenerChallenge 2018 - Learn by heart the Book by Wayne Morgan on Amazon - Betfair Football Trading as it helps to supplement my small income :beer:0 -
for some of the questions (sorry can't remember which) the wording wasn't all shown on my screen, some was cut off on the right hand side
