Why We Built This Site
I'd love to tell you there's a grand, noble cause behind our mission –
something along the lines of educating the masses, empowering folks to be
better informed, and safeguarding the delicate spark of democracy.
And sure, all those reasons are part of the truth. But at the heart of it?
We thought it'd be a fun. I've always been the type to collect and piece
together all sorts of things - whether that's toys, books, random bits of
information, or even puzzles and their solutions.
So, while our goals might sound lofty, the real reason we're here is
pretty simple: we thought it would be fun. We're passionate about
collecting, understanding, and sharing information. This project is just
an extension of that passion - a way to dive into the complex world of
elections and make sense of it for everyone.
Where does your information come from
-
We review and analyze the manifestos from each political party,
converting them into a user-friendly digital format.
-
The information regarding donations is obtained from the Independent
Electoral Commission (IEC).
-
We are expanding our coverage to include more political parties
manifesto, aside from the big three and the newcomers. However, many of
the smaller parties aren't great at making their documents easy to find.
