Understand where your politics fit.

Powered by PoliNEXUS

Answer clear questions about public services, rights, the economy and government. We build your political profile first—then compare it with parties using documented evidence.

Start the questionnaire See how matching works

Anonymous by design. No name is needed, and your result is an explanation—not voting advice.

Methodology

One result, with the layers kept honest.

The headline ranking is stated-policy alignment. It is never secretly adjusted by governance, demographics, geography or previous vote.

01

Policy Alignment

The ranking percentage combines ideological dimensions and policy issues. Issue priorities affect weight, not the location of your political profile.

40% dimensions · 60% issues
02

Observed Behaviour

Dated political actions are coded separately. Lower evidence coverage stays visible and never silently replaces what a party says.

Separate evidence layer
03

Governance Record

Performance is assessed only inside a named, comparable sphere and evidence profile. It is not ideological similarity or a universal league table.

Never changes policy match

Evidence before scores

Missing information stays missing.

Representation alone does not earn a published match. Every scored party needs sufficient dimensions, issues, primary sources, confidence, rationale and linked evidence.

  • At least 8 coded political dimensions
  • At least 9 coded policy issues
  • At least 2 primary party sources
  • Confidence of at least 65 for each published position
  • No placeholder or automatic neutral scores

Public Beta scope

This is a policy-comparison Beta.

This Beta compares your answers with documented party positions. It does not confirm who is on your ward ballot and does not tell you who to vote for.

What stays separate

Candidate lists and ward-ballot presence are not used in this Beta. Policy evidence determines whether a party comparison can be published.

Ward and candidate-list matching may be introduced later as a separate feature.
