Equality of Votes in Elections

In your opinion, should every vote in an election count the same, regardless of which part of the country it is cast in?

Does democracy truly mean equality? This question resurfaces when we talk about the value of each vote. For some, it’s simple: one person – one vote, regardless of where they live. For others, it’s more nuanced: less-populated regions should still have real influence, even if it means unequal vote weight. This debate reveals a deep divide between arithmetic fairness and political representation. Should the system be “fair” or “balancing”? Or are those two ideas fundamentally at odds? Take the poll and share your vision of what democracy should look like.

Social Credit System

Do you think introducing a social credit system similar to China’s would be beneficial?

A social credit system—for some, a futuristic path to order; for others, a dystopian nightmare. The Chinese model, where citizens gain or lose points based on “desirable” or “unacceptable” behavior, provokes both fascination and fear. Supporters see it as an effective tool against crime and corruption. Opponents warn of mass surveillance and a society ruled by fear, where every action could be used against you. Are we ready to trade some freedom for control? Or is this the dawn of a digital muzzle? Decide—before someone else decides for you.

Weather Control

Do you believe that humans intentionally influence the weather or climate?

Is the weather still nature’s doing—or already shaped by human hands? In an era of extreme climate events, some believe it’s not just CO₂ emissions at play, but deliberate manipulation of the atmosphere. From theories about chemtrails and the HAARP program to real experiments with cloud seeding, the line between science and conspiracy blurs. Are we witnessing secret global tests kept out of the spotlight? Or is this just our way of seeking someone to blame? See what others really think—and share your own view.

Will climate warming be beneficial for Russia?

Do you think Russia could benefit from climate change if Siberia and other cold regions of the country become warmer and more hospitable for living and agriculture?

While much of the world sounds the alarm over global warming, some ask the uncomfortable question: could Russia actually benefit? A warming climate might turn frozen Siberia into a potential hotspot for agriculture, industry, and settlement. Vast resources, thawing lands, new Arctic trade routes—for the Kremlin, this may seem less like a disaster and more like a strategic opportunity. Is the world burning while Moscow calculates? Or is this illusion destined to backfire? Judge for yourself—before the climate answers for us all.

Israel, Iran, and Nuclear Weapons – Double Standards

Do you think Israel had the right to attack Iran, despite illegally possessing nuclear weapons itself and not being a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)?

Can you punish intentions while holding undeclared nukes in your own hands? Israel, widely believed to possess nuclear weapons illegally and not a signatory of the NPT, has carried out preemptive strikes against Iran—accusing it of pursuing the very weapons Israel is said to have. To some, it’s a matter of survival. To others, geopolitical hypocrisy and double standards. Can a state without moral authority decide who poses a threat? Or is this simply realpolitik at work? Decide where you draw the line.

Donbas, Kosovo, Scotland, Catalonia, Silesia (Poland) – should the principles of autonomy be equal?

Do you believe that the population of eastern Ukraine of Russian descent, Russian-speaking, and with pro-Russian sympathies should have the right to autonomy or self-determination, similar to the case of Kosovo?

If Kosovo could—why not Donbas? The question of whether regions with distinct ethnic and linguistic identities have the right to self-determination remains controversial, especially regarding eastern Ukraine. Advocates cite precedents: Scotland, Catalonia, Kurdistan. Opponents warn against legitimizing separatist movements backed by foreign powers. Is autonomy a universal principle—or a political tool used selectively? And are national borders truly fixed, or just lines until someone redraws them by force? Decide where your own boundary of acceptance lies.
