About Internet Democracy
Internet Democracy is an independent civic information tool. It is not a government website, not an electoral commission, and not an official source of voting advice or election results.
Stances shown for MPs, culture-war commentators, and historic figures are AI simulations and estimates, not official positions, unless a page clearly points to a sourced official record. Read the methodology for how that works.
What this site is for
The site, also labelled the Democracy Dashboard, helps people explore political questions and see how their own answers compare with modelled positions for sitting UK MPs, a curated set of public commentators, and selected historic figures.
It is operated in the United Kingdom by James Edwards as an independent project. It is not affiliated with the UK Parliament, any political party, or any returning officer.
What you can do here
- Browse political questions and, if you sign in, record your own answers.
- Compare those answers with AI-simulated stances for MPs and other figures.
- Look up current MPs and constituency pages that use official Parliament data and bundled census figures.
- Read an evidence trail where the site has stored AI reasoning or later public-material notes against a stance.
What this site is not
- Not an official government, Parliament, or election authority.
- Not voting instructions, and not a declaration of election results.
- Not a claim that any MP, commentator, or historic figure has endorsed the wording shown here.
For elections and how to vote, use official sources such as The Electoral Commission and your local returning officer. For what an MP has actually said or voted, check Parliament and the member’s own channels.
