Major corrections:
- Fix PC2 factual error: CU/CDA/SGP/D66 are strongly negative (-13 to -58), not near zero
- Correct methodology: party scores use single-window SVD, not Procrustes pipeline
- Correct centering: global (after stacking), not per-window
- Fix Groep Markuszower misclassification on PC4 (positive, not negative pool)
- Fix D66/PC4-PC5 cross-reference error
- Fix PC8/DENK interpretation (negative = voting against, not absence of focus)
Additions:
- Party sizes (N=) for all 17 parties across all axes
- Party size reliability table (D66=26 to Volt=1)
- All 5 flip values documented (PC3,4,7,9,10), not just PC3
- Vector-space mismatch table (single-window scores vs Procrustes EVR)
- Cautionary '(indicatief label)' on PC7-PC10
- New follow-up steps: bootstrap CIs, dimensionality testing, varimax, external validation
- Softened causal claims (kabinetscrisis correlation, PVV motivations)
- Less normatively loaded PC2 label
- Re-ran generate_svd_json.py for current_parliament window (100 rows, 10 components)
- Computed party centroid scores per axis from 150 matched MPs
- Updated all 10 SVD_THEMES entries with accurate labels, Dutch explanations
and correct positive/negative pole party attributions
- Key findings: PC1=rechts-links, PC2=populistisch nationalisme vs mainstream,
PC3=verzorgingsstaat vs bezuinigingen, PC6=klimaat & energie,
PC8=Europese defensie-integratie
- Added axis_analysis_data.json and party_svd_scores.json as analysis artifacts
Adds new SVD window 'current_parliament' covering 8732 motions and 451 MPs
(vs 7424 motions in old '2025' window, adding ~1300 motions from 2025-Q4+).
Updates explorer.py to query the new window. Regenerates top_svd_top_motions.json.
Also clarifies axis 3 explanation noting FVD's anti-American positioning.
Deduplication:
- Identified 18 motion pairs with identical body_text and externe_identifier
- Kept the lower ID (first inserted) from each pair
- Cascaded deletes: 18 motions, 18 embeddings, 28 svd_vectors, 23 fused_embeddings
- motions table: 28172 → 28154, zero body_text duplicate groups remaining
SVD analysis:
- Regenerated top_svd_top_motions.json for window=2025 with clean data
(7424 vectors, down from 7430)
- 100 unique motions across 10 axes, no title or ID duplicates
- De Vos huiseigenaren motie no longer appears twice in axis 3
- Regenerated top_svd_top_motions.json for window=2025 with strict
cross-axis deduplication: 100 unique motions across 10 axes (10 per
axis, zero overlap), sorted by absolute SVD score
- Added SVD_THEMES dict to build_svd_components_tab with Dutch-language
theme label and political-polarisation explanation for each of the 10
axes (e.g. 'Confessioneel-conservatief vs. seculier-progressief')
- Selectbox now shows 'As N — <theme>' instead of bare component number
- Each selected axis shows an info banner with the full explanation
- Motion list buttons show ▲/▼ to indicate positive/negative SVD loading
- Translated UI strings to Dutch for consistency
