Key finding from 2026 data:
- 2026-Q2 CS bounced back to 0.523 (from 0.334 in Q1)
- Migration CS (0.395) now EXCEEDS non-migration (0.368) for first time
- Multiple 2026-Q2 migration motions got unanimous centrist support (CS=1.00)
Updated verdict across synthesis, QMD, and HTML:
- Non-migration acceptance was a temporary electoral shock response
- Migration acceptance is durable and growing as debate intensifies
- The Overton shift is domain-specific, not uniformly temporary
Also fixed hashline formatting corruption in synthesis file.
- Verdict now says 'window widened' (not 'did not shift') — centrist
support surged for right-wing motions while staying flat for left-wing
- Migration reframed from 'one exception' to 'gateway domain' — where
acceptance expanded most genuinely and right-wing parties learned
frames they applied elsewhere
- Explorer Overton tab: added migration gateway section with pre/post
metrics, full motion text (no truncation), 100-motion browser
- Explorer Kompas tab: updated Overton context to lead with the shift
- Explorer Trajectories tab: Dutch-language Overton annotation
- Synthesis, QMD, HTML report, STATUS.md all updated consistently
Material impact declined post-2024 (2.78→2.43, M>=4 share 23.7%→11.3%).
Right-wing strategic moderation: more motions, milder content, better
framing. The Overton window did not expand — right-wing proposals
shifted into the existing window. 'Acceptance through moderation'
replaces 'acceptance without conversion.'
SVD axes capture agreement structure — centrists 'moving left' means
voting patterns diverged from right-wing, not that parties changed
ideology. 'Acceptance without conversion' is a behavioral claim.
Documented as best-practice learning.
