Usually about 25 of the 30 questions in the voting adviser. I don't care if some party wants to take budget from primary schools and stick it in kindergartens instead or if we fund the F35 or whatever. I'm not a military plane expert nor work in educational finance but these are literally the questions they select to use as basis for your vote. Dudes, ask an expert! They'll probably tell you "don't know, but we can do a scale study to see which way works better"
Whatever topic I know has a reasonable expectation of making more people sustainably happy is what I click, and then usually it tells me I haven't clicked enough answers for it to produce voting advice...
Most 'current hot topics' are either unknowable with current information, or just wholly irrelevant to bigger problems like when we're going to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions and stop discriminating people
