they could steal your personal data without you knowing

Is that supposed to be more intimidating than corporations stealing my personal data with or without me knowing?

That explains it and I did indeed overlook it. Thanks for the heads up.

Keep in mind that our voting system is actually built so the parliament represents the popular vote as closely as possible. It’s not just an assembly of winners of individual “winner takes all” decisions. The average being above 0 in the graph should indeed mean left parties would be in the majority more often than not.

Edit: Another comment reminded me that the graphs only show 18-29 year olds. That explains it somewhat.

The gap sounds plausible, but I highly doubt the overall positions relative to 0.

E.g., the Federal Republic of Germany has had conservative chancellors for 51 years out of the 75 since it was founded. We did not have a constant left majority (I assume that is what they mean by liberal, since the actual sense of the term doesn’t make sense as an opposite to “conservative”).

Edit: I fucked up, this is only about people below 30.

Noob question:

Is there any advantage over my phone’s stock email client, considering 99% of my emails are confirmation emails from online shops and similar stuff and I hardly ever actually send an email to anyone or receive one from an actual person anymore?

Only 63%?

It takes way more effort from the user and leads to more people dropping out.

Then make it 0 to 3 or 0 to 1 for all I care. You missed the point, which is: If I want or don’t want feature A doesn’t influence if I want or don’t want feature B, and linking the two distorts the results of the poll.

in the end, the result is the same in Aggregate.

Not if you include the human factor of the decision maker, who can twist “wanted less” into “still wanted a bit” as a justification if they want a certain feature for different reasons than user benefit (like, say, a “privacy friendly” but indeed not at all privacy friendly mechanism to give data to add networks). That doesn’t fly with “0 points”.

The person evaluating the poll will take away “person likes option 1 most” not “person absolutely wants none of these in their browser, ever”. That’s the issue. You should not phrase questions in a way that assumes parts of the answer, at least not if you want useful results.

A better way would have been to let us rate features 0 to 10 and just accept if people thought their feature ideas are all shit.

That’s already suggestive. What if you want none of them, and strongly so?

Joke’s on MS, I’m happy that it doesn’t nag me to upgrade.
