14 statements on the issues dividing Seychelles right now. Pensions, the cost of living, drugs, land and the Assumption Island deal. See your alignment with both parties.
United Seychelles
Your answers most closely match United Seychelles, the party of President Patrick Herminie. You support a lower retirement age, higher benefits, cheaper public transport and protecting land and the environment from foreign deals.
LDS
Your answers most closely match Linyon Demokratik Seselwa of former president Wavel Ramkalawan. You support fiscal prudence, foreign investment in tourism and targeted social support.
Statements, asked twice
You take a position on sharp political and ideological statements using a six-point agreement scale. Key positions appear twice with opposite framing, once sympathetic and once critical. How much your answer shifts between the two framings becomes your framing bias score.
Alignment, not loyalty
The result shows how closely your answers match each position across all issues, not just the ones you feel strongly about. You might find you align with a party or ideology you didn't expect, or that you're genuinely split between two.
