League Tables: Who is hot and who is not
In course of preparation.
We are aiming to make available:
- League table of Governments — scoring them by how well they tackle mass impoverishment
- League table of Legislators — scoring them by whether they vote for policies which perpetuate mass impoverishment or eliminate it
- League table of Companies — scoring them by whether they externalise their costs to the rest of society: polluting the environment, paying below a living wage, avoiding tax, etc.
