Instructions
This page lets you vote on the political position of some well-known public figures in Britain and abroad.
You can say for each one how left or right wing they are, plus how nationalist or internationalist. Once you
have cast your own vote, you can see how other people perceive them. Here's how it works:
Simply drag any of the people icons from below the grid and drop them onto your desired position on
the Two-D grid.
There are 5 tabs of people — Conservative, Labour, Others, Former Prime Ministers and Abroad. Each
tab has 10 people.
You do not need to position all the possible people. Just position the ones that you are interested in.
Make sure that the position on both the left/right axis and the international/national axis is what
you want.
For more details of the Two-D Political Mapping, see how it works.
The centre of the icon represents the precise position of the person.
Icons must be positioned within the grid and cannot go beyond the purple boundary edge. All political
positions from 0° to 100° in all four directions can be used.
When ready, press the "Submit Votes". This will cast your vote for the selected
people, and also show you where other people (on average) placed them. The icons are now frozen.
A table will also be shown below the tabs giving your positions and the average voted positions in numerical terms.
You can toggle between your own votes and the overall public vote by pressing the button
marked either "Show my Votes" or "Show public's Votes".
If you like, you can press the "Re-edit Votes" button which will toggle the positions back to your previous
choice and re-enable editing. You can now adjust the positions, add more people, and re-submit if you want to.
Multiple votes will only be counted once.
