Le Vif carried out an electoral test allowing voters tosee more clearly in their political preferences. The results do not in any way constitute voting instructions, but rather information to help you vote better informed. in the municipal elections of October 13, 2024.
The principle of the municipal electoral test is quite simple. Internet users are invited to position themselves in relation to 30 proposals, on themes relating to municipal policy: mobility, regional planning, governance, taxation, etc.
Le Vif also addressed these proposals to the main French-speaking political parties: MR, PS, Les Engagés, PTB, Ecolo and DéFI. These groups themselves indicated to what extent they agree or disagree with these statements, before establishing an order of priority, from 1 to 30, according to the importance of the themes in their eyes. Participating in the test therefore allows you to check the party with which you are most in tuneon matters of municipal politics.
A municipal electoral test centered on cross-cutting themes
Naturally, each municipality has its own issues, which can influence the electoral preferences of citizens: the construction of a sports hall in one entity, essential road renovations or a wind project in another, etc. The snitch’s electoral test, he strives to address cross-cutting themes, likely to concern all Walloon and Brussels municipalities.
On October 13, voters will not always find the names of political parties as is on their ballot paper. This is also a growing trend: local lists are distancing themselves somewhat from the major parties. It can also be the result of an openness to candidates of different sensibilities within a list, of formations, of cartels, or even of candidacies without political affiliation.
The level of municipal power is, without doubt, the one where we vote the most “for people”, a little less “for parties”. However, behind a list called “Communal Interests”, “Mayor’s List” or even “Together”, there is often a political tendency and ideological preferences hidden.
Everyone will therefore use the snitch electoral test in good intelligence, being able to relate it to the reality of their own city or town, to be able to vote informedly on October 13.
