What if there was a non-partisan instrument that granted party affiliations to candidates based upon their speeches, votes, donors, etc? If this instrument was able to do so in an effective manner, these assigned affiliations could become informative, drawing distinctions where the two parties would like them obscured. I am not sure how this instrument would be best designed. However, it would be interesting to be able to look at a list of candidates, and see how they fell upon a political spectrum that wasn't of their choosing, but a result of their actions and words.
