Visualizing the Prime Ministerial Debates
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Building on last week’s map, The Independent is using Debategraph again to visualise the issues addressed during the third leaders’ debate tonight – and to examine the positions of the three prime ministerial candidates on the key issues facing the country in the run up to polling day.
You can follow the third debate live here as the map develops during the broadcast and contribute your own thoughts during and beyond the broadcast here too.
Once you have logged in, you can also rate the merits of the individual points made by Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Nick Clegg—with the thickness of the arrows changing to indicate which ideas and responses are perceived to be stronger (thicker) and weaker (thinner).
As with the other maps in the series you can you can keep up to date with the subsequent developments via the Independent Minds blog and @TheIndyDebate on Twitter. And you are welcome to embed the map on your own website or blog (like a Google map) using the code shown below the map.
