The Rackham Institute

The Rackham Institute for Economic Responsibility is a registered public think-tank in Canada that aims to hold the government to account 
Captained, err rather, directed by Jack Rackham, the Institute focuses primarily on economic issues and issues a graded report on the various parties each year.
== MPSP17 ==
In the course of the MPSP17 election, the Institute issued a report grading all of the parties. The rankings, reproduced below, were released just before the Leader's Debate and heavily favoured the HOOK Party, leading many to draw questions about the relationship between the two and the nature of the institute as non-partisan. 
Shortly after this experience, Jack Rackham was seen sailing quickly away on a ship, and has not been seen since.
