A free, non-partisan UK politics game. Answer six big questions or set every tax and department line by line, then see what your Budget does to borrowing, growth and seven real-life households. On 28 October, see how many of the Chancellor's calls you matched. There's also a five-year term mode: handle crises, face PMQs and try to get re-elected.
Hi Product Hunt! The UK Budget is on Wednesday 28 October, so we built a way for anyone to have a go first.
Population Decides gives you every tax band and every department with real 2026/27 figures. Answer six questions and it builds your Budget, or set every line yourself. You see the effect on borrowing, growth and approval, and on seven example households in pounds a month.
After the speech, the game shows how many of the Chancellor's calls you matched, and a live page lets people vote on each measure as it's announced.
It's free, needs no sign up and doesn't push a party line. It's in beta and we're reading every piece of feedback. What would you change first?
