Does my local politician make decisions based on evidence? Or does he/she try to suppress and ignore evidence in decision making?
I’d really like to know!
I’m somewhat envious that in the UK, voters can now go on-line to find out how their local polly is doing in relation to science and critical thinking.
Keen polly watchers in the UK can contribute to the site by finding those gems in Hansard and public speeches that are of interest to Skeptics; the good, the bad and the “I can’t believe he/she said that”.
IMHO such a site is urgently needed here. The Skeptical Voter

Glad you like SV. Drop me a line after the election if you like – I’m sure we could offer space on our Wiki to Australian politics (though I’d have to check with my colleagues first).
Great! Will do.
