    PoliticalBase.com - One Stop Shop For Political Info

    Political Base is an enormous political community geared toward empowering voters with the information necessary to make informed decisions. The site, while offering a huge variety of features, is based around politician pages which employ Wikipedia's page-editing technology to keep you in the know and armed with the latest information.

    Unlike Wikipedia, however, all pages are consistently reviewed by the Political Base editors to keep submissions from getting too fiery (as they often tend to when politics are the basis for discussion). On these pages, you can express your views on each politician by voting across four categories (Powerful, Trustworthy, Attractiveness, and Partisan), upload and watch related candidate videos, access funding information, see supporters and opposition, view recent page edits, and view how they are perceived by the public, among many other options. Apart from the politician pages, you can also check out pages related to governments, elections, and related issues. If you're not registered, you'll still have access to most of the information on the site, but you won't be able to participate in page editing nor will you be able to personalize some of the sites features to cater to your interests. If you choose to sign up, you'll also be able to create a personal profile to let others know your political motives and views.

    Why Politicalbase.com might be a killer

    Political Base could be a valuable resource for political discussion and dissemination of information in regards to elections. This is the perfect community for anyone who may be unfamiliar with the candidates in the upcoming election, as well as for anyone who just wants to know more about anything related to politics and/or contribute their opinions. The site also features a useful grid which you can personalize to compare the stances of selected politicians regarding a variety of key electoral issues.

    Some questions about Politicalbase.com

    This site is almost too overwhelming; you could spend a week scouring over it and still not see everything there is to see; the site might benefit from focusing simply on people in politics instead of having separate sections for fundraising, issues, governments, etc. All this information is inextricably linked to the politicians anyway, so why clutter up the site with all these intertwined categories?
