Why does Min R\u00f6st exist?<\/h2><\/div>

Many people want to vote but feel unsure about what the parties stand for, how political issues affect everyday life or how to compare the alternatives. Min R\u00f6st makes it easier to understand, compare and take a position.<\/p>\n<\/div>

The voting compass is designed to be clear, simple and accessible. It focuses on policy issues and shows how your answers relate to the parties\u2019 own positions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Our guiding principle<\/h3><\/div>

Min R\u00f6st does not tell you which party to vote for. Our aim is to give you a better understanding so that you can make a more informed decision yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>

The choice is yours. The vote is yours. Our task is to make the information easier to understand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

Political neutrality<\/h3>\n

We do not recommend any party or promote any party-political position.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

Clear information<\/h3>\n

We want to make political issues easier to understand without removing important differences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\n

Your own position<\/h3>\n

The result is a tool, but you always decide for yourself what matters most.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How we work<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

1. We start with policy issues<\/h3><\/div>

The questions concern policy areas that affect people\u2019s everyday lives, such as schools, safety, welfare, democracy and integration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. We examine the parties\u2019 answers<\/h3><\/div>

The parties\u2019 positions are based on their own programmes, public statements and answers where available.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

3. We present the result clearly<\/h3><\/div>

You receive an overview showing how close your answers are to the parties\u2019 positions. The result is not a definitive answer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
