Facebook: Party Parties

Twitter Dept: Vote Compass, available through News.ca , asks people to respond to a series of statements on political issues and to give their impression of the federal leaders. It then produces a simple graph showing how a respondent's views and concerns fit relative to the positions of the five major political party parties, according to CBC. Vote Compass has garnered much online and social media attention, including a number of Facebook and Twitter posts. Many expressed surprise at how their views lined up with the major political parties and an online tool designed to show Canadians how their views on national issues align with those of the political parties has recorded more than a million responses in just over a week. The educational tool is not designed to tell people how to vote, but rather to inform people about where parties stand on certain issues and to "stimulate discussion," says Clifton van der Linden, the executive director of Vote Compass.
