Write to the site
One address, read by the two of us. Corrections, and the country you want added next, are the most useful things you can send.
Address
Plain email. There is no form on this site and no newsletter to join.
What is worth sending
A coded party position looks wrong
Name the party, quote the statement, and point to the policy document that contradicts the coded position. With a source it can be checked and corrected; without one it cannot.
A statement is ambiguous or badly worded
Quote it and say which reading you took. Statements that two reasonable people read differently are rewritten.
Your country is not listed yet
Name it, and point us at where its parties publish their platforms. Every country on the survey was coded by hand, so the list grows slowly and requests decide what we read next.
What to expect
This is run by two of us alongside study, so replies are slow and some messages get no reply at all. Corrections are acted on whether or not they are answered.
Requests to promote a party, to change a coded position without evidence, or to buy placement in a result are not answered.
Keep it independent
No party, sponsor or advertiser pays for this. If it was useful, a few dollars covers hosting and the next country's coding.
Hear when a country is added
One email when a new country goes live or an election is near. Nothing else, ever.
