“This tool is an opportunity for each user to take stock with himself and stimulate personal reflection on the ideas, and not on the controversies of the campaign,” explains Thomas Vitiello, doctor in political science and professor at Sciences Po. And – why not – to discover that the populist proposals are not necessarily the prerogative of the candidates identified as such.

A presidential compass from March 2022
Focus as part of a university research project, this application, which takes the form of a series of questions allowing “everyone to reflect and position themselves on the challenges of this campaign”, feeds the scientific work of the Center for the Study of French Political Life (Cevipof ). “The responses of the participants are used for electoral analysis, analysis of political attitudes and behavior. User responses are absolutely not used for prediction polls, ”explains Thomas Vitiello.
This “compass” will be supplemented, from March, by a second application specifically designed to situate you in relation to the presidential candidates who have gathered the 500 sponsorships. A device of which 20 minutes has been involved since 2012.
