ISideWith provided surveys and questionnaires for Irish users in recent years, notably in the referendum on whether to repeal the Eighth Amendment. These variables include factors such as: How often the candidate talks about the issue, is it a top priority in their platform, how similar is the "similar" stance to their official stance) and confidence factors (How long has the candidate held this stance, have they changed this stance in the past, does their voting record and history affirm this stance).
