Ashish,

Thanks for covering us on pluggd.in. Just wanted to share a little more about our elections offering

The idea behind coming up with this site was to crowd source a manifesto. Its a platform to Ideate, opine and aggregate the various issues which the masses think our next government should focus on.

Also rather than to adopt a rating mechanism based only on the number of yes/no we have used an alternate weight-age system. The weights associated with each statement is an indicator of importance of the statement according to the user perception. It reflects how people consider a particular statement in comparison to other statements in the manifesto. It is not, the percentage of people who have said yes or no to it.
