    It would be much better if some of the big data crunching was applied to more then who will win an election based on opinion polls. It would be great to have dashboards on government particularly the laws they pass and the performance of parties and individuals. It would also be nice to see at a glance who is lobbying whom.
    Chuckles at the first part.

    I would LOVE to see transparency in lobbying etc. I might have no problems with a Senator who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GE -- but not knowing is unfair to me.
