Are you doing a separate foreign policy axis?
Of course!
There will be 5 scores:
- the foreign score
-the economic score
-the social score
-the activity score
-and finally, the "average score": (6*Economic score+2*social score+ 2*foreign score)/10
I still plan to give 1 point for amendments, and 3 for a final vote (or 2 final vote + 1 redraft if there is a redraft).
For the "average score", I think we can all fairly agree economy is "more" important than social and foreign issues?
Some of us would say social and foreign are both more important. 
but I'm looking forward to this.
True, and Windjammer, you indicated that activity is part of the average score, however you said that the score represents how conservative or progressive someone is. If this is an ideological measurement then why is the Vice President doing it? It seems rather partisan and not very productive -- and two why include activity in an ideological measurement?
It's one thing if you rate Senator's on how they vote with the Administration (a rather binary measurement), but ideological scores? Do you really want to start off with the Senate by labeling them further?
