FOCUp

FOCUp · fix our country up

Everyone reckons they could run the country better.

Fine. Prove it. Can you FOCUp better than the people in charge? Pick a government, open its real budget, and start moving money — the deficit, the debt trajectory and a 0–100 scorecard move with you.

Have a go Just show me the numbers

Built on real numbers — and meant to be a bit of fun. Every figure comes from an actual budget paper, and every assumption is written down where you can check it. But it isn't advice, it can't tell you what would really happen, and no government or political party has anything to do with it.

Pick a government

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Move the money

    Adjust any revenue or spending category by up to ±50% of the government's figure. Interest stays locked — it follows the debt.

  2. Step 2

    Watch it land

    The balance, the projection and modelled consequences update instantly. Each consequence carries its assumption, source and confidence.

  3. Step 3

    Get your scorecard

    A 0–100 score across nine measures — health, education, debt, fairness and more. Re-weight them to match what you value.
