History

Founded in 2015, Simple Politics is a UK-based website that simply explains politics and issues related to the UK and beyond. According to their about page, “Simple Politics does things differently. We exist to help you have better conversations about the issues and the changes that matter. We do so by being clear, accurate, and impartial. Also, light-hearted, engaging, and occasionally (but not as often as we think) amusing.”

Analysis / Bias

Simple Politics uses info-graphics in an easy-to-understand format to describe different aspects of politics. For example: What is Capitalism? Simple Politics is very careful to cover all sides and perspectives of issues with minimal bias. They also source all of their information from credible sources. The website does not appear to be updated frequently. While we won’t retire it, we also won’t update the rating as not much has changed.
