I'd love to see an ongoing set of graphs and data visualisations that show me what's going on.
E.g.
- how much are we borrowing this year and the last 50 years
- what is net migration for the last 50 years
- what is inflation for the last 50 years
- what are the crime rates for the last 50 years
- what are the violent crime rates for the last 50 years
Don't know why I picked 50 every time, but I'd just love some key, well-contextualised data that we could all agree on. At the moment it seems as though people can't even agree on basic facts, and anything that helps with that would be awesome.
Agree that this would be interesting, but your proposed solution would not address people not agreeing on facts, I think. People often (many on this site) say that they don't believe government inflation figures, or that underreporting of crime makes crime rates meaningless.

Well, if they can present the rate of crime underreporting, and how it has changed over time, they're welcome to add it to the graph :)
