About Vote for Policies

Vote for Policies is a campaign to make politics about policies, not personalities (or anything else for that matter).

Who should I vote for?

This website came from an idea to help us and our friends figure out who to vote for in the 2010 UK General Election. The aim is to help us all make a more informed, unbiased decision about which party to vote for. Politics is for all of us, and we hope this site will make it easier for all of us to get involved.

Why policies?

Because policies are what actually change our lives. By focusing on policies we can ignore the media hype, negative spin and personality battles that distract our politics from what really matters - improving how we live.

For more information on how we chose the parties and policy summaries, please visit our FAQ page.

The team

Vote for Policies has been created by three people who share an interest in making really useful things and doing their bit for a better society. Matt Chocqueel-Mangan, and Alistair Holt and Simon Plenderleith of Makitó Labs.
