What you'll be asked about
Six sectors, five questions each
Every sector gets equal weight, so the result reflects your whole outlook rather than whichever topic happens to have the most questions.
Economy, Tax & Cost of Living
Who pays tax and how much, how big the state should be, and who should own the banks, power companies and supermarkets.
Housing & Renting
Rent rules, state house building, help for first-home buyers, and whether to loosen planning rules to build more.
Health & Education
Free doctor's visits, how schools teach and test, school choice, and whether Māori-led health services should return.
Climate, Energy & Environment
Emissions targets, oil and gas, farming's climate obligations, mining, and river water quality.
Law, Order & Justice
Sentencing, prisons, police numbers, gangs, and whether justice should lean toward punishment or prevention.
Te Tiriti, Rights & Immigration
The place of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in government, the Māori electorates, te reo Māori, and how many people should move here.

Every position is cited
Each party's stance on each question links to that party's own policy page, manifesto or a report of their announcement, with the date we last checked it. If you think we've got one wrong, you can see our source and tell us.
The maths is public
The scoring is simple arithmetic you could do on paper, and it's written out in full on the methodology page. The same answers always give the same result. No model, no black box, no AI deciding anything.
We test for our own bias
An automated audit checks that agreeing with everything doesn't push you left or right, that no party is structurally favoured, and that answering exactly like a party returns that party. It runs on every change.
Takes about seven minutes
You can skip anything you're unsure about, and flag the issues that matter most to you so they count for more.
