I'm still using Vote Compass as a conversation starter with my immediate family, but I don't think it's a particularly useful tool to share with apathetic voters this year. Crossing my fingers that Build a Ballot will fill the gap when it's released in a couple of weeks. www.buildaballot.org.au

So if she was a Labor supporter, or an undecided or ambivalent voter with a stigma against the Greens as a "radical left party", that dot would serve as confirmation bias. To me that seems to defeat the purpose of the Vote Compass.

Also, the political landscape chart seems to tell a different story to the alignment chart and imo does the Greens a disservice. By positioning them so far to the left my sister who agrees 72% with the Greens, 42% with Labor & 33% with the LNP has her dot hovering juuust above Labor's.
