About Politiqal
Politiqal is an independent UK politician ratings platform that aggregates opinion polls, news sentiment, and social media into a single real-time score. We believe political accountability should be transparent, data-driven, and accessible to everyone.
Our scores update automatically — news sentiment every 6 hours, social sentiment every 12 hours, and polling data daily. Every score is calculated from real data, not editorial opinion.
How we calculate scores
Opinion polls (1/3 weight)
We track the latest polls from YouGov, Ipsos, Savanta and other UK pollsters. Approval ratings are normalised to a 0–100 scale and averaged.
News sentiment (1/3 weight)
Every Guardian article mentioning a politician is analysed by AI and scored for sentiment. We process the latest articles every 6 hours.
Social media (1/3 weight)
Reddit discussions from r/ukpolitics and r/unitedkingdom are analysed daily to capture real public mood and trending topics.
