Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Local councils, including Westminster, Camden and Islington in London, have already set up a small number of charging points for private electric cars. Evans said interest was growing owing to a combination of incentives, such as free parking, exemption from the congestion charge in London and the recent rises in the price of petrol.

Good news for England. Looks like the government is stepping up to the environmental plate and making strides in policies to support electric vehicles.
