Here's a question I thought of: is there a single place one can compare the policies of active political parties? Instead of digging through each party's wiki article, like just have one single chart.
Usually someone compiles something like that near election time.  Right now, it really doesn't much matter, since there's very nearly just the one political party.  The Free Democrats have been in the Government for something like six years now (minus six months); I don't think any of the other parties (seven of them!) have any active party things going on or real platform that applies when they're out of government, since the main question on that front was whether or not we'd keep a monarchy and that's not currently being debated.  So until it comes time to contest control of the Government, nothing much to compare the parties on.  Hopefully that will change at some point, and then we'll have someone put together a voter guide like in the past.  Not sure who will do that, though; we used to have several different media organizations, including podcasts and newspapers from time to time (eg, http://www.berichttalossan.com/2015/01/guide-to-parties.html), but none of those exist right now.  Maybe I will, if it comes down to it. Or maybe you could, if this interests you!

You might also note:

a) some parties don't have any principles at all apart from "defend the monarchy";
b) others had a list of policies which they proceeded to vote against in this Cosa.

Anyway, here are all the parties which ran at the last election with their 50-word summary of positions.
