Vote for Policies

In March 2010 I launched Vote for Policies – a free website to help UK voters decide who to vote based on policies alone.

The website works by enabling voters to compare policies on a range of key issues, but without showing which party the policies belong to.

The site became popular very quickly. During its six week life prior to the UK general election the site received 700,000 visitors and over 2.25 million page views from people in 185 countries around the world.

The results were surprising too, with policy popularity ranking the main parties very differently to the current balance of power.

Over 280,000 surveys were completed and feedback was overwhelmingly positive about its value in helping voters decide.

There was also much interest from other countries and I hope to be able to provide this service in the run-up to key elections around the world.

Vote for Policies is run without any support or assistance. If you are interested in supporting the development of this service please contact me.
