Germany on RedBlue
9 figures from Germany are on the board — 8 politicians and 1 public figure. Across those profiles the ratings average out to Centrist, which is what the blue and red behind this page are showing.
Each rating weighs what readers vote against what the person has actually said and done. Open any profile to read the record behind it: every statement carries a date and a link to its source, and where a newer position sits awkwardly with an older one, both readings are set out rather than resolved.
Elsewhere: United States · China · United Kingdom · France · Canada · South Korea · Italy · Japan
