Work in Progress: Government 1.9: An electoral alliance scheme for writing the voters will into the political program of multiple- and single-winner representatives
First draft of my "Vaaliliittokone" idea in Finnish is available
I'm currently working on an English version (got funding??), combining the data from an electoral advice application and voting results, enhanced with some simple descriptive statistics. This will help me to model, concretize, and validate the idea. The data is of course not definite for the purpose but it is real anyhow!

Hukkinen.JP campaign website
Hukkinen.JP is my personal sandbox website and blog. I started building it during my parliamentary campaign. Most of the content is in the blog and written in Finnish. However, you can use the one-click machine-translation tools, embedded on every blog page. There are also an increasing number of english blog entries.
