If you're not voting, thats exactly where your vote is going.
How so?

Yes, simple mathematics. You hate everyone, but you hate BNP the most. You don't vote, your unvote counts equal to every party. You do vote against the party you hate the most, your vote counts against the party you hate the most. Plus when you're not voting, you piss on the graves on the forefathers that made it possible for you to vote.

I don't care enough to vote. At best i just cannot be bothered. I don't know anything about these politicians or what they do and i certainly don't care. They are all corrupt equally.

If you think their all corrupt, you know something. Just go there and vote for the least evil. First think some general politics to figure what party to vote, then vote someone that seem like smarter then the ones that are currently elected. If you already think their all corrupt, you cant go wrong. Anyone who doesnt vote, dont deserve their citizenship IMHO.

I'm actually indifferent to all of them. Politics really doesn't interest me, in fact it bores me very much. I'm with Hard2Get on this; if anything i just can't be bothered. The reason i'd rather not vote for BNP is the stigma attatched to them, i don't fancy being grouped in with all the knuckle-dragging racists and chavs who vote for them (i'm not saying everyone who votes BNP are these things)

Then vote for someone who supports direct democracy or technocracy, whichever is more your cup of tea.

Well, I didn't need the questionaire to tell me I'm a born socialist! xD
EDIT: However, if I were able to vote, I'd be seriously tempted to vote Lib Dem
However it was missing questions like:
- Do you trust that the tory party has really changed since '96?
Not surprising though, it is a telegraph article after all!

The questionnaire is nonsense. None of the questions really touch on the policies that separate the BNP from mainstream politics, so how it can gauge people's supposed political leanings towards them is beyond me.
