Go to this site and do the test:

British Columbia Votes 2013 - Vote Compass - CBC News

It takes about 10 mins and gives you an idea of where your political compass lands. Also, once you complete the test they break down the political parties on different topics: environment, economy, health, education, aboriginal issues, taxes, etc....you can compare and contrast each party.

This site is informative and is VERY user friendly! I encourage everyone to visit
As useful as the political / vote compass is, I would caution that the voter should always take resulting analysis with a grain of salt. The problem is, while the tool will steer you towards your political leanings, it is an entirely different matter whether you should place your trust in the candidate / political party to follow through on their proposed policies.

For example, while I would classify myself with a slight leaning to the right, Crusty Clown's track record has thoroughly convinced me that she is completely lacking in her ability to lead this province. As such, even though my political leanings should have aligned with those of the Liberals, there is no way in hell I am going to vote for Crusty's party at this election.
