SIX PARTIES · FOUR ISSUES

# The whole ballot in one table

Every party against every issue. A tick means the party has published something we could source. A dash means it has not, on the date we checked. Pick any cell to read the detail.

THE FULL MATRIX

## Which parties have published on what

Rows are ordered by how many of the four issues a party has published a position on. That measures how much is on the public record, and nothing else. A party can publish on all four and still be wrong about every one of them.

Published positions by party and issue

### What a dash means, and what it does not

A dash means we looked on the date shown on that party's page and found nothing published on that subject. It is a record of the public record, not a judgement about the party. A party may hold a clear position it has simply not written down anywhere we could find.

A tick means something was published and we could point at the source. It says nothing about whether the policy is good, affordable, or within the city's power to deliver.
