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.

Reviewed evidence does not establish a numerical placement. No midpoint or party-based score is substituted.
Editorial policy rubric, not a public-priority ranking. A higher number means more of the named policy dimension, not a better policy. Relative funding, tax and admissions changes require an explicitly dated baseline and comparison period in the placement evidence. Funding comparisons use inflation-adjusted per-person amounts. Proposals, enacted policy and outcomes must be distinguished; missing evidence stays unrated.

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 Pat McFadden?
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.
