POLICY, NOT PERSONALITY
United Kingdom issue spectrum
Each number describes a policy position, not how good a politician is. Higher means more of the policy named on that scale. Scores are editorial interpretations, not scientific measurements. Israel and Palestine are independent axes.

No issues have been reviewed for this profile yet.
Method: use attributable votes, enacted measures, statements or a candidate’s own platform; identify source type and date; map the stated policy to the nearest defined step. Primary sources take priority. A supported interval is shown as a range, with no invented midpoint. Reviewed sources that do not establish the position are labeled “Not established”; this is not a finding that the politician has no position. No cross-issue total is calculated. Rubric v1.
FOLLOW THE DISCLOSED MONEY
Who funds David Gauke?
Campaign contributors and outside spending are separate. A donation does not establish control, a policy bargain or a payment to the politician personally.
FEC coverage does not apply to this country. Local campaign-finance sources must be researched separately. Missing data is not $0.
Israel-related funding: not verified. We do not treat a missing filing review as evidence that a politician received no money.
