Helping us choose better these elections
January 29th, 2009 | by kilps |During the US Presidential Elections (I think it was during the primary season) I remember a web app which allowed the user to specify their political views and they were then helped in finding the candidates which best mirror those views.
My plan is to make something similar for these elections, matching users to the parties. Of course I need to work out what the most pressing issues are and research the different party lines – the latter will be easy, but compiling a list of the issues is tricky. I’ve started bellow – please do comment and suggest additions.
- The Scorpions
- Land Reform
- The new matric
- Affirmative Action / Black Economic Empowerment
- Electoral Reform
- The Springbok Emblem
- The powers of the Minister of Sport over national teams
- Arms Deal Commission of Enquiry
- ‘Cadre’ deployment
- Private health care
- Zimbabwe
- Border Control
- Climate Change
- Liquor curfews
