Evidence, with limits
A rule-based estimate matches explicit policy statements in this series. Each matched policy area has one equal vote for less or more state control; conflicting indicators in an area cancel. An average above +0.25 scores 75, below −0.25 scores 25, and the middle scores 50. Unmatched axes stay unscored. Scores of 0 and 100 are not assigned.
Updated with the series
New people and articles enter the same live roster used by the filters. The chart recalculates from current articles on each visit. New profiles need a full name in the series headline; later articles with an unambiguous surname join the same collection. Current roles require separate verification.
These are interpretive estimates, not candidate-completed quiz results or measurements of a whole political philosophy. Matched passages and coverage confidence accompany each person. Phrase matching can miss nuance; low confidence means fewer than three matched policy areas, and medium means three or more. Comparison articles stay linked to everyone featured; their shared policy lists are excluded from automated scoring. The chart uses no party-based scores. The Nolan model’s freedom axes reflect a particular way of comparing politics. About the Nolan-chart model ↗
