Hey guys. With the election coming up I was looking at a way of seeing where all the parties' policies aligned with me. There are a few websites around which let you take a quiz, but they are usually short, around 30 questions. I wanted more in-depth analysis, so designed an iPhone / iPad / Mac app for this. It’s free, no adverts, no affiliation etc. The app checks for updated policies every day for all major parties.

 

It contains 284 policies across seven parties. Rate each policy and the app calculates your party matches. Every policy includes its source, and your responses stay on your device—no account, advertising, analytics or political tracking.

 

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/app/policy-match/id6812607362

 

More information:

I’d appreciate feedback, particularly on missing or incorrectly worded policies. It’s an independent project and isn’t affiliated with any party or the Electoral Commission.

The problem with these types of things is, there is a difference between the policy, and it's execution.  Anyone can promise something, but as seen in 2017, it doesn't mean anything if the people involved have either overpromised, or lack the capability to deliver it. 

 

Furthermore the policy in a vacuum tells you one thing, but it's actually the combination of policies which you need to assess. 

 

I am not saying the app has no value, just that in all the cases I've seen, it's so overly simplistic, as to be the opposite of helpful in many cases.
