# Two-Dimensional Extremity Scoring |
||||
|
||||
Score Dutch parliamentary motions on TWO independent dimensions: |
||||
|
||||
1. **Stijl-extremiteit (stylistic extremity, 1–5):** How inflammatory, harsh, or rhetorically charged is the language? 1 = neutral/technical, 5 = openly hostile/discriminatory language. |
||||
|
||||
2. **Materiele impact (material impact, 1–5):** How fundamentally would this policy change the status quo if enacted? How many people are affected and how deeply? Score based on the scale and permanence of the change, regardless of political direction. 1 = procedural/ministerial request, 5 = fundamental restructuring of rights, institutions, or economic systems. |
||||
|
||||
These dimensions are independent. A motion can be: |
||||
- High stylistic, low material: "Alle buitenlanders moeten het land uit!" (inflammatory but legally vacuous) |
||||
- Low stylistic, high material: "De zorgpremie wordt inkomensafhankelijk en de bijdrage loopt op tot 15% van het inkomen" (measured language but fundamentally restructures healthcare funding) |
||||
- Low stylistic, high material (restriction): "Het recht op gezinshereniging wordt beperkt tot kerngezin met inkomenseis van 150% minimumloon" (measured language but concretely restricts rights) |
||||
- High stylistic, high material: "Nederland stapt per direct uit de Europese Unie" (inflammatory AND structurally transformative) |
||||
|
||||
## Scoring Prompt |
||||
|
||||
```text |
||||
Beoordeel de volgende motie op TWEE onafhankelijke dimensies: |
||||
|
||||
MOTIE: |
||||
Titel: {title} |
||||
Tekst: {text} |
||||
Vereenvoudigde uitleg: {layman} |
||||
|
||||
1) STIJL-EXTREMITEIT (1-5): |
||||
Hoe fel/opruiend/geladen is het taalgebruik? Let op woordkeuze, toon, en retorische middelen. |
||||
1 = neutraal/technisch/ambtelijk, 3 = stellige politieke taal/waardeoordelen, 5 = vijandig/discriminerend/haatdragend taalgebruik. |
||||
|
||||
2) MATERIELE IMPACT (1-5): |
||||
Hoe fundamenteel verandert dit voorstel de status quo? Hoeveel mensen worden geraakt en hoe diep? |
||||
Scoor op basis van de schaal en duurzaamheid van de verandering, ongeacht politieke richting. |
||||
Linkse én rechtse moties kunnen hoge impact hebben — het gaat om hoe ingrijpend de verandering is. |
||||
1 = procedureel/symbolisch/onderzoeksverzoek, 3 = concrete beleidswijziging met meetbare gevolgen voor een sector/doelgroep, 5 = fundamentele herstructurering van rechten, instituties of economische systemen met langdurige gevolgen voor de hele samenleving. |
||||
|
||||
Geef voor elke dimensie een score van 1-5 en een korte toelichting in het Nederlands. |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
## Output Schema |
||||
|
||||
Return a JSON object with this structure: |
||||
|
||||
```json |
||||
{ |
||||
"stijl_extremiteit": 3, |
||||
"stijl_toelichting": "Gebruikt termen als 'massa-immigratie' en 'tsunami' maar niet direct discriminerend", |
||||
"materiele_impact": 4, |
||||
"materiele_toelichting": "Beperkt recht op gezinshereniging tot kerngezin met verzwaarde inkomenseis" |
||||
} |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Field constraints: |
||||
- `stijl_extremiteit`: integer, 1–5 |
||||
- `stijl_toelichting`: string, Dutch, 1–3 sentences |
||||
- `materiele_impact`: integer, 1–5 |
||||
- `materiele_toelichting`: string, Dutch, 1–3 sentences |
||||
|
||||
## Batch Scoring |
||||
|
||||
When scoring multiple motions at once, return a JSON array: |
||||
|
||||
```json |
||||
{ |
||||
"motions": [ |
||||
{ |
||||
"motion_id": 123, |
||||
"stijl_extremiteit": 3, |
||||
"stijl_toelichting": "...", |
||||
"materiele_impact": 4, |
||||
"materiele_toelichting": "..." |
||||
} |
||||
] |
||||
} |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
## Subagent Workflow |
||||
|
||||
The orchestrator spawns subagents (deepseek v4 flash) to score motions in batches: |
||||
|
||||
1. Read this skill file to get the prompt template and schema |
||||
2. Query the stratified sample from `right_wing_motions` JOIN `extremity_scores` |
||||
3. Format batches of 10 motions each |
||||
4. For each batch, spawn a subagent (`task` tool, subagent_type: general) with: |
||||
- This skill's prompt template filled with the 10 motions' text and layman explanations |
||||
- The output schema as the expected return format |
||||
- Instruction to return valid JSON matching the `motions` array schema |
||||
5. Collect results, validate against schema, store in `extremity_scores_2d` table |
||||
6. Compute Pearson r between `stijl_extremiteit` and `materiele_impact` |
||||
|
||||
Batch dispatch is parallel: all 10 subagents (for 100 motions) can be spawned simultaneously since they have no inter-dependencies. |

2. system_dismantling — Aims to dismantle, abolish, or fundamentally restructure an existing policy, institution, or regulatory framework. Not reform but abolition/reversal. |

3. targeted_restriction — Imposes specific restrictions on a defined group, behavior, or activity. Narrow scope, punitive or exclusionary intent. |

|
||||
4. symbolic_declaratory — Primarily sends a political signal, makes a statement, or takes a position without direct policy impact. Declaratory, symbolic, expressive. |

|

5. procedural_technical — Technical adjustment, budget amendment, implementation detail, or administrative procedure. Bureaucratic, operational, non-ideological. |

|

6. local_constituency — Serves a specific local/regional interest, constituency, or geographic area. NIMBY or local-advocacy pattern. |

|

7. coalition_alignment — Reflects coalition politics: budget compromises, package deals, or alignments between coalition partners. Coalition-maintenance. |
||||
|
||||
8. welfare_service_expansion — Expands government services, social welfare, public goods, or citizen entitlements. Positive provision, not restriction. |

9. institutional_rule_of_law — Concerns legal frameworks, rule of law, institutional integrity, judicial process, or constitutional matters. Rule-based, institutional. |

# Right-Wing Motion Analysis Over Time |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
Build a pipeline to identify, classify, and analyze right-wing motions across parliamentary history. Track how their volume, policy extremity, and cross-party support have evolved over time. Output includes a derived keyword taxonomy, a hybrid motion classifier, temporal aggregations, policy extremity scores, sentiment trajectories, and time-series visualizations. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
The user hypothesizes that while the **volume** of right-wing motions has remained stable, the motions have become **more extreme** in policy demands and that **centrist parties** increasingly vote in favor of them. This suggests an "overton window" shift that cannot be detected by simple vote-counting alone. |
||||
|
||||
The existing codebase has party-level ideological positioning (SVD/PCA) but lacks motion-level ideological scoring, keyword-based right-wing detection, or temporal analysis of how motion content has radicalized. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- **R1.** Derive a right-wing keyword taxonomy from the motions themselves (not hand-curated) |
||||
- **R2.** Build a hybrid classifier that identifies "actually right-wing" motions using both keywords and voting patterns |
||||
- **R3.** Aggregate and analyze trends per year (volume, support, cross-party adoption) |
||||
- **R4.** Score policy extremity (what the motion demands, not just sentiment) |
||||
- **R5.** Track sentiment/emotional tone over time as a proxy for radicalization |
||||
- **R6.** Produce time-series visualizations for exploration (not yet integrated into the Streamlit app) |
||||
- **R7.** Validate classifier accuracy to avoid false positives (e.g., left-wing parties discussing migration neutrally) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- **In scope:** Keyword derivation, motion classification, temporal aggregation, extremity scoring, sentiment analysis, static visualization output |
||||
- **Out of scope:** Integration into the Streamlit explorer app (deferred to follow-up) |
||||
- **Out of scope:** Real-time updates or pipeline automation |
||||
- **Out of scope:** Predictive modeling (we describe trends, we do not forecast) |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Follow-Up Work |
||||
|
||||
- **Streamlit tab integration:** Add an interactive "Right-Wing Trends" tab to the explorer (`analysis/tabs/right_wing_trends.py`): separate PR after this plan is executed |
||||
- **Motion-level ideological embedding:** Train or fine-tune a motion-specific embedding model to improve classification beyond keywords + votes |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Context & Research |
||||
|
||||
### Relevant Code and Patterns |
||||
|
||||
- **`analysis/config.py`** — Defines `CANONICAL_RIGHT = {"PVV", "FVD", "JA21", "SGP"}` and `CANONICAL_LEFT` — these sets are the ground-truth for right/left party identification |
||||
- **`scripts/derive_svd_labels.py`** — Already uses TF-IDF on motion titles with Dutch stopwords; this pattern should be reused/extened for keyword derivation |
||||
- **`scripts/motion_drift.py`** — Implements cross-ideological voting detection and semantic drift measurement; its `compute_party_voting()` logic is directly relevant for validating the hybrid classifier |
||||
- **`analysis/axis_classifier.py`** — Contains `_classify_from_titles()` with Dutch keyword regexes for 4 ideological categories; not sufficient alone but a useful reference for post-processing |
||||
- **`pipeline/text_pipeline.py`** — Generates text embeddings via API; can be reused if we need embeddings for the sentiment/extremity analysis |
||||
- **`analysis/explorer_data.py`** — `load_motions_df()` loads the full motions table with year parsing; primary data access pattern |
||||
- **`database.py`** / **`agent_tools/database.py`** — Provide DuckDB access to `motions` and `mp_votes` tables |
||||
|
||||
### Institutional Learnings |
||||
|
||||
- **`docs/solutions/best-practices/svd-labels-voting-patterns-not-semantics.md`** — Right-wing parties must appear on the RIGHT side of all axes; same principle applies here: classification must reflect voting behavior, not just semantic content |
||||
|
||||
### External References |
||||
|
||||
- Dutch parliamentary motion data is already present in DuckDB (`data/motions.db`) |
||||
- `motion_drift.py` already uses Ridge/Lasso regression for axis stability; similar regression techniques can be applied to temporal trend fitting |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Keyword derivation method:** TF-IDF on motion titles/body_text, restricted to motions where `CANONICAL_RIGHT` parties vote predominantly *voor*. This avoids hand-curating and captures the actual language used by right-wing parties. |
||||
- **Hybrid classifier:** Two-stage: (1) keyword match for initial filtering, (2) voting-pattern confirmation requiring >60% support from right-wing parties AND <40% opposition from left-wing parties. This handles cases where left-wing parties also use migration keywords neutrally. |
||||
- **Policy extremity:** Use an LLM (via `ai_provider.py` subagent pattern) to answer "What concrete policy change does this motion demand?" and rate the radicalism of that demand on a 1-5 scale. This captures policy substance, not emotional language. |
||||
- **Sentiment analysis:** Use a lightweight Dutch sentiment model (e.g., `pysentimiento` or similar) rather than an LLM, for cost and speed. If no good Dutch model exists, fallback to LLM batch calls. |
||||
- **Temporal granularity:** Annual buckets (`YYYY`), aligning with existing SVD window conventions (`2024`, `2025`, etc.) |
||||
- **Visualization:** Static Plotly charts exported to HTML/PNG, not yet integrated into Streamlit. This decouples analysis from UI work. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Open Questions |
||||
|
||||
### Resolved During Planning |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: Should we analyze titles only or full body_text?** |
||||
- **A:** Start with titles (fast, already cleaned), validate on a sample using body_text, and upgrade if precision is insufficient. |
||||
- **Q: How do we define "centrist parties" for cross-party support tracking?** |
||||
- **A:** Treat as the complement of `CANONICAL_RIGHT` and `CANONICAL_LEFT` within `KNOWN_MAJOR_PARTIES`: VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU. |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Implementation |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: What is the optimal TF-IDF threshold for keyword inclusion?** — Depends on corpus distribution; will be determined by inspecting the keyword ranked list. |
||||
- **Q: Which Dutch sentiment model performs best on parliamentary language?** — Requires empirical testing; candidate models to be evaluated during U5. |
||||
- **Q: Does policy extremity scoring need few-shot examples for consistency?** — Will be determined during U4 implementation; if LLM outputs are inconsistent, add exemplars. |

## Execution Strategy: Agent Assignments & Parallelization |
||||
|
||||
| Unit | Agents | Can Parallelize With | Notes | |
||||
|------|--------|---------------------|-------| |
||||
| U1 | `general` (text pipeline), `ce-best-practices-researcher` (keyword extraction patterns) | — | Foundation unit; must complete before all downstream work. DuckDB batch aggregation is I/O-bound and fast; no subagents needed. | |
||||
| U2 | `ce-best-practices-researcher` (TF-IDF best practices, Dutch NLP), `general` (implementation) | U3 (after U1) | Keyword derivation is research-heavy; the researcher can pre-fetch Dutch political TF-IDF patterns while `general` implements the aggregation. Once U1 data is ready, keyword extraction can run in parallel with U3's vote-pattern analysis. | |
||||
| U3 | `general` (DuckDB SQL + Python) | U2 (after U1) | Pure computation; no external research needed. Runs in parallel with U2 once U1 is done because U2 and U3 read the same `motion_rightness` table but produce independent features. | |
||||
| U4 | `general` (scikit-learn pipeline), `ce-framework-docs-researcher` (if exploring Dutch sentiment models) | — | Depends on U2 + U3. The LLM-based extremity scorer can be delegated to `general` in batch mode; no real-time LLM calls at inference time. | |
||||
| U5 | `ce-best-practices-researcher` (time-series visualization patterns), `general` (Plotly implementation) | — | Depends on U4. Visualization is straightforward once data shape is known; researcher mainly validates responsive/mobile chart patterns. | |
||||
| U6 | `general` (integration), `ce-test-browser` (if applicable) | — | Depends on U5. Integration work is sequential by nature; browser tests validate the Streamlit tab render. | |
||||
|
||||
**Parallelization summary:** |
||||
- **U1** is strictly sequential (foundation). |
||||
- **U2 + U3** can run in parallel once U1 completes. |
||||
- **U4** is sequential after U2+U3. |
||||
- **U5 + U6** are sequential after U4. |
||||
- Total wall-clock phases: **4** (U1 → U2∥U3 → U4 → U5 → U6). |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
- **U1. Keyword Derivation** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Extract the most distinctive terms used in right-wing motions without hand-curating. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/derive_keywords.py` |
||||
- Modify: `scripts/derive_svd_labels.py` (reference only) |
||||
- Test: `tests/test_derive_keywords.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. Query `motions` joined with `mp_votes` to identify motions where right-wing parties vote predominantly *voor* (>60%). |
||||
2. Collect a control group: motions where left-wing parties vote predominantly *voor* (>60%). |
||||
3. Run TF-IDF on titles (and optionally body_text) for both groups, using Dutch stopwords. |
||||
4. Compute differential TF-IDF: terms with high scores in right-group and low in left-group. |
||||
5. Manually inspect top 50 terms and filter out generic parliamentary terms (e.g., "motie", "kamer"). |
||||
6. Persist the final keyword list to `analysis/right_wing/right_wing_keywords.json`. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `scripts/derive_svd_labels.py` for TF-IDF pipeline |
||||
- `analysis/config.py` for `CANONICAL_RIGHT` / `CANONICAL_LEFT` |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: right-wing motions contain terms like "migratie", "asiel", "grenzen" in top results |
||||
- Edge case: control group does NOT have these terms in top 50 |
||||
- Edge case: generic terms ("motie", "regering") are filtered out |
||||
- Integration: keyword list can be loaded as JSON and used for regex matching |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `right_wing_keywords.json` exists and contains >= 20 distinct terms |
||||
- Manual inspection confirms terms are politically distinctive |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- **U2. Hybrid Motion Classifier** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Identify "actually right-wing" motions using both keywords and voting patterns. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2, R7 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/classify_motions.py` |
||||
- Test: `tests/test_classify_motions.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. **Keyword filter:** Match motion title/body_text against `right_wing_keywords.json` (case-insensitive, whole-word regex). |
||||
2. **Voting filter:** For each candidate motion, compute: |
||||
- `right_support` = % of `CANONICAL_RIGHT` parties voting *voor* |
||||
- `left_opposition` = % of `CANONICAL_LEFT` parties voting *tegen* |
||||
- Pass if `right_support >= 0.60` AND `left_opposition >= 0.40` |
||||
3. Output a DuckDB table `right_wing_motions` with columns: `motion_id`, `year`, `title`, `right_support`, `left_opposition`, `keyword_matches`. |
||||
4. Run a validation sample: manually inspect 20 random classified motions and 20 random non-classified motions to estimate precision/recall. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `scripts/motion_drift.py` for cross-ideological voting logic |
||||
- `analysis/explorer_data.py` for data loading patterns |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: a PVV motion about "asielzoekers" with 80% right support and 60% left opposition is classified |
||||
- Edge case: a PvdA motion mentioning "migratie" neutrally with 20% right support is NOT classified |
||||
- Edge case: motion with right support 60% but left opposition only 10% is NOT classified |
||||
- Error path: motion with no votes is skipped gracefully |
||||
- Integration: `right_wing_motions` table is queryable and has expected row count |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Validation sample shows >80% precision and >70% recall |
||||
- `right_wing_motions` table contains >100 rows (non-empty) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- **U3. Temporal Aggregation** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Compute yearly trends in right-wing motion volume, support, and cross-party adoption. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R3 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/temporal_analysis.py` |
||||
- Test: `tests/test_temporal_analysis.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. Group `right_wing_motions` by `year`. |
||||
2. For each year, compute: |
||||
- `total_right_wing`: count of right-wing motions |
||||
- `pct_of_total`: % of all motions that year |
||||
- `avg_right_support`: average right-party support |
||||
- `avg_left_opposition`: average left-party opposition |
||||
- `centrist_support`: % of centrist parties (VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU) voting *voor* |
||||
- `extremity_index`: placeholder for U4 scores (NULL until backfilled) |
||||
3. Compute year-over-year deltas for each metric. |
||||
4. Persist to `yearly_right_wing_summary` table or DataFrame export. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/trajectory.py` for time-windowed aggregations |
||||
- `analysis/explorer_data.py` for DuckDB-to-pandas patterns |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: each year has a row with all metrics computed |
||||
- Edge case: year with 0 right-wing motions shows 0 count and NULL centrist support |
||||
- Edge case: year with missing vote data for some parties still computes available metrics |
||||
- Integration: output DataFrame can be merged with U4 extremity scores |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- One row per year from earliest to latest motion |
||||
- `pct_of_total` values sum to <= 100% when checked manually for a sample year |
||||
- Centrist support shows a plausible trend (not all 0% or 100%) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- **U4. Policy Extremity Scoring** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Score how radical the policy demand of each right-wing motion is. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/extremity_scorer.py` |
||||
- Test: `tests/test_extremity_scorer.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. For each right-wing motion, build a prompt: |
||||
> "Dit is een motie in het Nederlandse parlement. Wat vraagt de motie concreet? Beoordeel hoe radicaal dit voorstel is op een schaal van 1 (mild/technisch) tot 5 (extreem/fundamenteel). Geef alleen het cijfer en een korte verklaring in het Nederlands." |
||||
2. Use `ai_provider.chat_completion_json()` with a JSON schema enforcing integer 1-5 + explanation string. |
||||
3. Batch process motions (parallel API calls, 10-15 per batch) to minimize cost. |
||||
4. Store results in `extremity_scores` table: `motion_id`, `score`, `explanation`. |
||||
5. Compute yearly average and merge into U3's summary. |
||||
|
||||
**Execution note:** Start with a sample of 50 motions to validate scoring consistency before running the full set. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `summarizer.py` for batch LLM processing and parallel API calls |
||||
- `ai_provider.py` for JSON-mode chat completions |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: a motion demanding "sluit alle AZC's" scores 5/5 |
||||
- Happy path: a motion requesting "rapporteer cijfers" scores 1/5 |
||||
- Edge case: LLM returns invalid JSON → fallback to retry or mark as NULL |
||||
- Error path: API failure → motion is skipped, not blocking |
||||
- Integration: extremity scores correlate with keyword intensity (sanity check) |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Sample of 50 shows inter-rater consistency (same motion re-scored twice gets same score) |
||||
- Score distribution is not all 1s or all 5s (has variance) |
||||
- `extremity_scores` table covers >= 90% of right-wing motions |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- **U5. Sentiment Analysis Pipeline** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Track emotional tone of right-wing motions over time as a proxy for radicalization. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/sentiment_analysis.py` |
||||
- Test: `tests/test_sentiment_analysis.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. Evaluate candidate Dutch sentiment models: |
||||
- `pysentimiento` (nl model) |
||||
- `transformers` pipeline with Dutch BERT (`wietsedv/bert-base-dutch-cased` fine-tuned for sentiment) |
||||
- Fallback: LLM batch calls if models are poor |
||||
2. Run on motion titles + first 200 chars of body_text (avoiding noise). |
||||
3. Map outputs to [-1, 1] scale (negative = hostile/aggressive, positive = constructive). |
||||
4. Aggregate by year: avg sentiment, std deviation, % strongly negative. |
||||
5. Merge into U3 summary. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `pipeline/text_pipeline.py` for text preprocessing |
||||
- Lightweight model evaluation script similar to `test_mistral.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: motion with "stop de immigratie" scores negative |
||||
- Happy path: motion with "verbeter de procedure" scores neutral/positive |
||||
- Edge case: very short title (< 5 words) is handled gracefully |
||||
- Error path: model fails to load → fallback to LLM or skip |
||||
- Integration: sentiment trend correlates with extremity trend (sanity check) |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Sentiment scores show variance (not all identical) |
||||
- Manual inspection of 10 random motions confirms direction is plausible |
||||
- Model inference time is < 100ms per motion (acceptable for batch) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- **U6. Time-Series Visualization** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Produce static charts showing volume, extremity, sentiment, and centrist support over time. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U3, U4, U5 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/visualize_trends.py` |
||||
- Output: `output/right_wing_trends.html` and/or `.png` files |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. Load `yearly_right_wing_summary` DataFrame. |
||||
2. Generate 4 charts: |
||||
- **Volume:** Line chart of `total_right_wing` + `pct_of_total` (dual axis) |
||||
- **Extremity:** Line chart of `avg_extremity_score` with error bars (std) |
||||
- **Sentiment:** Line chart of `avg_sentiment` + % strongly negative (stacked area) |
||||
- **Centrist Support:** Line chart of `centrist_support` over time with party breakdown |
||||
3. Use Plotly (consistent with `analysis/visualize.py`) with dark theme colors. |
||||
4. Export to `output/right_wing_trends.html` (interactive) and `.png` (static). |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/visualize.py` for Plotly setup and theming |
||||
- `analysis/tabs/_rendering.py` for dark theme color constants |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: HTML file is generated and opens without errors |
||||
- Happy path: all 4 charts render with data spanning multiple years |
||||
- Edge case: missing data for some years → chart shows gaps, not crashes |
||||
- Integration: charts visually confirm the user's hypothesis (stable volume, rising extremity/centrist support) |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `output/right_wing_trends.html` exists and is > 100KB |
||||
- Manual inspection of charts shows clear trends |
||||
- Charts are suitable for sharing (static PNGs are readable) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **New tables:** `right_wing_motions`, `extremity_scores` — these are derived/analysis tables, not core schema. They can be regenerated. |
||||
- **No changes to existing tables:** `motions`, `mp_votes`, `svd_vectors` are read-only for this feature. |
||||
- **No API surface changes:** This is an offline analysis script, not integrated into the app yet. |
||||
- **Performance:** TF-IDF on ~29K titles is trivial. LLM calls for U4 are the bottleneck; batching keeps cost manageable. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| Keyword list overfits to current parliamentary period | Validate across multiple years; include historical data in TF-IDF corpus | |
||||
| LLM extremity scoring is inconsistent | Add few-shot examples; validate on sample before full run; allow NULL scores | |
||||
| Dutch sentiment model performs poorly on parliamentary language | Evaluate multiple models; fallback to LLM if needed | |
||||
| Classification has false positives (left-wing motions caught) | Hybrid voting filter mitigates this; validation sample checks precision | |
||||
| LLM API costs for extremity scoring exceed budget | Batch aggressively; score a stratified sample (e.g., 30 per year) instead of all motions | |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Documentation / Operational Notes |
||||
|
||||
- Add a README in `analysis/right_wing/` explaining how to regenerate the analysis |
||||
- Document the keyword list and classification thresholds for reproducibility |
||||
- Note the LLM model used for extremity scoring and its version/date |

# Visualize and Report Migration-Anti-Democratic Overlap Findings |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
Turn the Direction 3 analysis (migration as the dominant vehicle for anti-democratic rhetoric in right-wing motions) into a publishable artifact: committed script, visualizations, mechanism-coded extreme motions, and a findings report. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
The Direction 3 analysis script `analysis/right_wing/direction3_migration_antidemocratic.py` has been written and run successfully against all 2,986 scored right-wing motions. It uncovered strong evidence that migration is the primary carrier of anti-democratic extremity (45% of ≥4.0-scored motions are migration-related). However, the findings currently exist only as console output. They need to be preserved, visualized, deepened with mechanism coding, and compiled into a shareable report. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. The analysis script is committed to the feature branch. |
||||
- R2. Five focused charts visualize the key findings for immediate readability. |
||||
- R3. The 212 motions scoring ≥3.5 extremity are mechanism-coded via lightweight LLM batch. |
||||
- R4. A markdown report compiles numbers, charts, and mechanism coding into a narrative. |
||||
- R5. All artifacts are saved under `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/`. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- No new LLM pipeline infrastructure (reuses existing `ai_provider.chat_completion_json_parallel` pattern from `extremity_scorer.py`). |
||||
- No changes to the database schema. |
||||
- No Streamlit UI integration (this is a research artifact, not a UI feature). |
||||
- No anti-democratic scoring pipeline for the full 2,986 motions (that would be Direction 2, deferred). |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Follow-Up Work |
||||
|
||||
- Full anti-democratic scoring pipeline (Direction 2): separate plan if mechanism coding validates the concept. |
||||
- Streamlit tab to expose right-wing analysis tables: separate UI work. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Context & Research |
||||
|
||||
### Relevant Code and Patterns |
||||
|
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/direction3_migration_antidemocratic.py` — the analysis script to commit |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_scorer.py` — LLM batch pattern with `chat_completion_json_parallel` |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/derive_categories.py` — two-phase LLM approach (derive taxonomy, then apply) |
||||
- `scripts/motion_drift.py` — chart generation pattern using matplotlib, saved to `reports/` |
||||
- `analysis/config.py` — `CANONICAL_RIGHT`, `CANONICAL_LEFT`, `PARTY_COLOURS` |
||||
|
||||
### Institutional Learnings |
||||
|
||||
- `docs/solutions/best-practices/svd-labels-voting-patterns-not-semantics.md` — SVD labels should reflect voting patterns, not semantic content. Same discipline applies here: mechanism coding should reflect procedural/institutional characteristics, not just topic keywords. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Matplotlib for charts:** The repo already uses matplotlib in `scripts/motion_drift.py` and `explorer.py`. No new charting library. |
||||
- **Reuse existing LLM batch infrastructure:** The mechanism coder will call `ai_provider.chat_completion_json_parallel` with a JSON schema, same pattern as extremity/sentiment scoring. Batch size 10, ~22 batches for 212 motions. |
||||
- **Mechanism taxonomy (6 classes):** punitive, exclusionary, sovereignty-claiming, procedural-breaking, institutional-dismantling, none. Chosen to capture the observed framing evolution from "keep them out" to "dismantle the system that lets them in." |
||||
- **Reports directory:** `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/` mirrors the `reports/drift/` pattern. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions |
||||
|
||||
### Resolved During Planning |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: Which visualization library?** Matplotlib — already used in the repo. |
||||
- **Q: How many mechanisms to code?** 6-class taxonomy, validated against the 5.0-scored motion sample. |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Implementation |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: Exact chart styling and color palette** — depends on what looks good when rendered; iterate visually. |
||||
- **Q: Whether to include migration-adjacent motions in the mechanism coding** — start with pure migration (404), expand to adjacent (55) if time permits. |
||||

**Approach:** |
||||
- The script already exists and produces correct output. Stage and commit it with a conventional message. |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Test expectation: none — this is a standalone analysis script with no testable behavior changes. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Script is committed to `feat/right-wing-motion-analysis` and runs without errors. |
||||

||||
|
||||
- U2. **Generate Five Key Visualizations** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Produce charts that make the Direction 3 findings immediately readable. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/visualize_direction3.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/*.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Write a script that queries the scored data and generates 5 charts: |
||||
1. **Stacked bar:** Category breakdown of ≥4.0 extremity motions (migration's 44.8% dominance) |
||||
2. **Line chart:** Migration motion volume + avg extremity by year (2018–2026) |
||||
3. **Horizontal bar:** Party avg extremity on migration (Wilders 3.79, Eerdmans 2.69, etc.) |
||||
4. **Grouped bar:** Migration sentiment by extremity bucket (the −0.717 drop) |
||||
5. **Treemap or stacked bar:** Migration + migration-adjacent by category (15.4% total footprint) |
||||
- Follow the matplotlib patterns from `scripts/motion_drift.py` and `explorer.py`. |
||||
- Save charts to `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/`. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `scripts/motion_drift.py` — chart saving with `plt.savefig()`, DPI settings |
||||
- `explorer.py` — color palette using `analysis/config.PARTY_COLOURS` |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: script runs and produces 5 PNG files in the reports directory. |
||||
- Edge case: empty result set for a chart component should render gracefully (e.g., skip treemap segment with zero count). |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- 5 PNG files exist in `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/` and render legible charts. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U3. **Mechanism-Code the 212 Extreme Motions** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Classify the anti-democratic mechanism for each motion scoring ≥3.5 extremity. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R3 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_coder.py` |
||||
- Create: `data/mechanism_codes.json` (or table: `right_wing_mechanisms`) |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Query the 212 motion IDs with title, year, and category from `right_wing_motions` + `extremity_scores`. |
||||
- Use `ai_provider.chat_completion_json_parallel` with a JSON schema: |
||||
```json |
||||
{"mechanism": "punitive|exclusionary|sovereignty-claiming|procedural-breaking|institutional-dismantling|none", "confidence": 1-5, "rationale": "string"} |
||||
``` |
||||
- Batch size 10, ~22 batches. Skip already-coded motions for resumability. |
||||
- Store results in a new table `right_wing_mechanisms` (motion_id, mechanism, confidence, rationale) with `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` + `INSERT OR REPLACE`. |
||||
|
||||
**Execution note:** Start with a small validation batch (10 motions) and spot-check the taxonomy before running the full 212. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_scorer.py` — batch loop, `chat_completion_json_parallel`, resumability pattern |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/derive_categories.py` — two-phase validation (small sample first, then apply) |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: all 212 motions are coded with a valid mechanism and confidence 1–5. |
||||
- Edge case: LLM returns invalid JSON → retry or log error, don't crash. |
||||
- Edge case: script interrupted mid-batch → rerunning skips already-coded motions. |
||||
- Integration: mechanism table can be joined back to `right_wing_motions` for reporting. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `right_wing_mechanisms` table has 212 rows with no NULL mechanisms. |
||||
- Spot-check 10 random rows: rationale is coherent and mechanism assignment is defensible. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U4. **Compile Findings Report** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Write a markdown narrative pulling together numbers, charts, and mechanism coding. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2, U3 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/findings_report.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Structure the report around the 5 analytical sections from Direction 3: |
||||
1. Overlap quantification (migration's 44.8% share of high extremity) |
||||
2. Party strategy (PVV/Wilders dominance, JA21 volume-vs-intensity tradeoff) |
||||
3. Framing shift (2018–2020 direct exclusion → 2023–2025 institutional dismantling) |
||||
4. Cross-category adjacency (55 migration-adjacent motions, veiligheid/justitie as primary spillover) |
||||
5. Sentiment divergence (migration as the only negative-sentiment category, −0.717 at high extremity) |
||||
- Embed the 5 charts using relative paths. |
||||
- Include a mechanism-coding summary table (distribution of the 6 mechanisms across categories and parties). |
||||
- Conclude with the bottom-line hypothesis confirmation. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `reports/drift/report.md` — existing report format in the repo |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: report renders correctly in a markdown viewer with all images loading. |
||||
- Edge case: report references charts that don't exist → verify all image paths are valid. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `reports/right_wing_migration_antidemocratic/findings_report.md` exists and is a complete, readable narrative. |
||||
- All chart references resolve to existing PNG files. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **Interaction graph:** None — this is a research artifact pipeline. No callbacks, middleware, or UI changes. |
||||
- **Error propagation:** LLM batch failures in U3 should log errors per-batch, not crash the script. |
||||
- **State lifecycle risks:** The `right_wing_mechanisms` table is idempotent (INSERT OR REPLACE). Rerunning is safe. |
||||
- **API surface parity:** No public API changes. |
||||
- **Integration coverage:** U3's integration with the LLM provider is the only cross-layer concern; verify the batch loop handles rate limits gracefully. |
||||
- **Unchanged invariants:** Database schema, existing right-wing analysis tables, Streamlit UI, and agent_tools surface remain untouched. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| LLM API costs for 212 motions exceed budget | Validate on 10-motion sample first; abort if cost-per-motion is unexpectedly high. | |
||||
| Mechanism taxonomy doesn't map cleanly to the data | Start with 6 classes; if LLM struggles, collapse to 4 or add an "other" catch-all. | |
||||
| Charts look unprofessional or cluttered | Iterate on 1–2 charts first, get feedback, then apply style to all 5. | |
||||
| Report becomes too long or unfocused | Cap at ~2,000 words; use summary tables and embedded charts to carry the narrative. | |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Documentation / Operational Notes |
||||
|
||||
- The report is intended for internal research consumption and potential external sharing. No operational rollout needed. |
||||
- If the mechanism coding validates the anti-democratic concept, it becomes the evidence base for a future Direction 2 plan (full anti-democratic scoring pipeline). |

# Quantify the Overton Window Shift in Dutch Parliament |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
Test the hypothesis that the Overton window has shifted rightward in the Tweede Kamer by analyzing three objective indicators: (1) centrist support for and passage of right-wing motions, with a focus on opposition motions to control for coalition effects, (2) whether content extremity of proposed motions increased over time, and (3) rightward drift of the parliamentary center via SVD positions. The analysis is deliberately descriptive — we report effect sizes and visual patterns, not statistical confirmation from an 8-point time series. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
Direction 3 analysis revealed a dramatic structural break in 2024: centrist support for right-wing motions nearly doubled (0.33 → 0.67), and pass rates jumped from ~33% to ~70%. This is consistent with an Overton window shift — but it could also be a coalition artifact (NSC/VVD supporting PVV government proposals) rather than a genuine ideological repositioning. We need rigorous, multi-indicator evidence to distinguish these explanations. |
||||
|
||||
The existing mechanism-coding plan answers "what kinds of anti-democratic mechanisms exist in extreme motions" — a different question. This plan answers the user's actual question: **"Has the Overton window shifted, and what objective indications do we have?"** |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. Quantify the 2024 breakpoint in centrist support and pass rates with effect sizes, not overclaimed statistical significance. |
||||
- R2. Test whether the shift persists when controlling for coalition status — i.e., do opposition right-wing motions also gain centrist support post-2024? |
||||
- R3. Test whether the shift is domain-specific to migration or broader across right-wing motions. |
||||
- R4. Quantify whether the content extremity of proposed right-wing motions increased over time. |
||||
- R5. Quantify whether the parliamentary center shifted rightward on SVD axes, with axis stability validated before cross-window comparison. |
||||
- R6. A concise report with 3 charts and an honest, uncertainty-aware conclusion. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- In scope: Descriptive quantitative analysis of vote data, SVD positions, content extremity trends, and coalition status. |
||||
- Out of scope: LLM-based mechanism coding, sentiment analysis refinements, keyword penetration analysis (see Key Technical Decisions), anti-democratic scoring pipeline. |
||||
- No Streamlit UI changes — this is a research artifact. |
||||
- No changes to the classification pipeline or agent_tools. |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Follow-Up Work |
||||
|
||||
- Full anti-democratic scoring pipeline (Direction 2) |
||||
- Interactive dashboard for Overton window monitoring |
||||
- Causal inference modeling (diff-in-diff, regression discontinuity) — requires more data or a valid control group |
||||
- Longitudinal keyword adoption study with independently-derived keyword sets (not the differential TF-IDF set from right-wing motions) |
||||
- **Two-dimensional extremity validation:** Score a stratified sample (50–100 motions) for both *stylistic extremity* (inflammatory language, emotional charge) and *material impact* (rights restricted, groups affected, enforcement mechanisms). If correlation is low (r < 0.6), re-score all 2,986 motions with a refined dual-dimension prompt so extremity-stratified analyses can separate "harsh phrasing" from "substantive policy impact." If correlation is high (r > 0.7), the single score is sufficient. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Context & Research |
||||
|
||||
### Relevant Code and Patterns |
||||
|
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/direction3_migration_antidemocratic.py` — Direction 3 analysis script |
||||
- `analysis/explorer_data.py` — `load_party_scores_all_windows()`, `get_available_windows()`, SVD position computation |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/classify_motions.py` — keyword matching logic for right-wing classification |
||||
- `analysis/config.py` — `CANONICAL_RIGHT`, `CANONICAL_LEFT`, `CANONICAL_CENTRIST`, `PARTY_COLOURS` |
||||
- `scripts/motion_drift.py` — matplotlib chart patterns |
||||
|
||||
### Data Assets |
||||
|
||||
- `right_wing_motions` — classified motions with `centrist_support`, `right_support`, `left_opposition` |
||||
- `extremity_scores` — LLM-scored extremity per motion |
||||
- `mp_votes` — individual MP votes per motion (for pass/fail and party breakdown) |
||||
- `motions` — motion metadata including `date`, `title`, `voting_results` (JSON) |
||||
- `svd_vectors` — SVD embeddings per MP/party per window |
||||
- `party_results` — session-level party agreement data |
||||
|
||||
### Institutional Learnings |
||||
|
||||
- `docs/solutions/best-practices/svd-labels-voting-patterns-not-semantics.md` — SVD positions reflect voting patterns, not semantic content. This is a feature: if the center shifts on SVD axes, it's because voting behavior changed, not because words changed. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **No LLM batching:** All indicators are computable from existing structured data. This keeps the analysis deterministic, cheap, and reproducible. |
||||
- **Descriptive statistics only:** With only 8–11 annual observations (2016–2026), statistical tests like Mann-Kendall are underpowered. We report Cohen's d, pre/post differences, and visual patterns — not p-values claimed as "confirmation." |
||||
- **Opposition-only filter as coalition control:** Instead of comparing government vs. opposition (which conflates the 2024 coalition change with the Overton shift), we compare opposition right-wing motions pre- and post-2024. If opposition motions also gain centrist support, the shift is not purely coalition-driven. |
||||
- **Keyword penetration analysis DROPPED:** The right-wing keywords were derived differentially from right-wing motion titles. Finding these keywords in centrist motions does not demonstrate ideological adoption — it demonstrates topic salience. This would require an independently-derived keyword set (e.g., from party manifestos or media corpora). Deferred. |
||||
- **SVD cross-window comparison requires stability validation:** Axes are re-oriented per window (see `political_axis.py`). Before comparing centrist positions across years, we validate that the same parties occupy roughly the same relative positions. If instability exceeds a threshold, we report the drift as uninterpretable. |
||||
- **Coalition status inferred from submitter party:** Use motion title prefix to identify lead MP, map to party via `mp_metadata`, then tag as "government" if the party is in the governing coalition for that year. Coalition composition is hardcoded per year. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions |
||||
|
||||
### Resolved During Planning |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: How to define "centrist"?** Use `CANONICAL_CENTRIST = frozenset({"VVD", "D66", "CDA", "NSC", "BBB", "CU"})` from `classify_motions.py`. |
||||
- **Q: How to define "government" vs. "opposition"?** Hardcode coalition composition per year based on historical Dutch governments. |
||||
- **Q: Why drop keyword penetration?** Circular: keywords were derived from right-wing motions; their appearance in centrist motions measures topic prevalence, not ideological adoption. |
||||
- **Q: What statistical test?** None. With 8–11 points, we report descriptive effect sizes (Cohen's d) and let charts carry the evidence. |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Implementation |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: Exact coalition composition for 2016–2023** — verify against Wikipedia or Binnenhof records at implementation time. |
||||
- **Q: Whether to use quarterly or annual SVD windows** — start with annual for simplicity; quarterly if annual resolution is too coarse. |
||||
- **Q: Threshold for SVD axis stability** — define at implementation (e.g., Spearman correlation of party rankings across windows ≥ 0.8). |
||||

## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
### U1. Commit Direction 3 Script |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Preserve the working Direction 3 analysis. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1 (context) |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Stage/Commit: `analysis/right_wing/direction3_migration_antidemocratic.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** Stage and commit the existing script with a conventional message. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** Script runs without errors. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
### U2. Descriptive Breakpoint & Opposition-Controlled Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Quantify the 2024 breakpoint in centrist support, pass rates, and content extremity — with coalition effects controlled via opposition-only filtering, domain decomposition, and a baseline comparison. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R3, R4 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_analysis.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_figure_1.png` (centrist support + pass rate) |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_figure_2.png` (extremity + motion count) |
||||
|
||||
**Prerequisites:** |
||||
- `right_wing_motions` table must have `category` column (run `derive_categories.py` if missing). |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/` directory must exist (create if missing). |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
|
||||
1. **Yearly aggregates (all right-wing motions):** |
||||
- Mean `centrist_support`, mean `right_support`, mean `left_opposition` |
||||
- Pass rate (computed from `mp_votes` or `voting_results`) |
||||
- Mean `extremity_score` (from `extremity_scores`) |
||||
- Count of motions |
||||
|
||||
2. **Baseline comparison (all motions):** |
||||
- For each year, compute pass rate across **all** motions (not just right-wing classified ones) |
||||
- For each year, compute mean centrist support across **all** motions (% of centrist parties voting "voor") |
||||
- These serve as dashed reference lines to test whether the 2024 shift is specific to right-wing content or a general coalition effect |
||||
|
||||
3. **Pre/post 2024 comparison:** |
||||
- Compute difference-in-means for centrist support, pass rate, and extremity |
||||
- Report Cohen's d as effect size |
||||
- Do NOT claim statistical significance — frame as "effect size" only |
||||
|
||||
4. **Opposition-only analysis (coalition control):** |
||||
- Hardcode coalition composition per year (see Key Technical Decisions) |
||||
- For each right-wing motion, identify the lead submitter party from the title prefix (or `mp_votes` majority submitter) |
||||
- Filter to motions where the submitter party is NOT in the ruling coalition |
||||
- Recompute yearly centrist support and pass rate for this opposition-only subset |
||||
- Compare pre-2024 vs post-2024 opposition metrics |
||||
- **Interpretation gate:** If opposition metrics also rise post-2024, the shift is not purely coalition-driven. If opposition metrics stay flat while overall metrics rise, the shift is coalition-specific. |
||||
|
||||
5. **Domain decomposition (migration vs. non-migration):** |
||||
- Split right-wing motions into migration (`category = 'asiel/vreemdelingen'`) and non-migration |
||||
- Compute yearly centrist support, pass rate, and extremity for each |
||||
- Test: is the 2024 shift driven entirely by migration, or is it broader? |
||||
|
||||
6. **Extremity-stratified pass rate (tolerance shift test):** |
||||
- Bucket right-wing motions by extremity score: 1–2 (mild), 2–3 (moderate), 3–4 (high), 4–5 (extreme) |
||||
- Compute pass rate per bucket for pre-2024 (2018–2023) and post-2024 (2024–2025) |
||||
- **Key test:** If high-extremity motions (3–5) went from low pass rate → high pass rate while mild motions stayed flat, centrists are more tolerant of extreme content — direct Overton shift evidence |
||||
- If pass rate rose uniformly across all buckets, the shift is about quantity, not tolerance |
||||
- If only the 1–2 bucket rose, right-wing parties filed milder motions post-2024 and the "shift" is illusory |
||||
|
||||
7. **Visualization (two figures):** |
||||
- **Figure 1** (2 panels) — core evidence: |
||||
- Panel A: Centrist support over time (all right-wing, opposition-only, migration, non-migration) + dashed baseline (all motions) |
||||
- Panel B: Pass rate over time (same breakdown) + dashed baseline (all motions) |
||||
- **Figure 2** (2 panels) — supplementary: |
||||
- Panel C: Mean extremity over time (all right-wing, opposition-only, migration, non-migration) |
||||
- Panel D: Extremity-stratified pass rate — grouped bars showing pass rate per extremity bucket for pre-2024 vs post-2024, with N labels per bar |
||||
- Annotate 2024 with a vertical line on panels A–C |
||||
|
||||
8. **Manual extremity audit (LLM score validation):** |
||||
- After computing results, sample 5 motions per extremity bucket (20 total) using stratified random sampling |
||||
- For each sampled motion, display: title, category, LLM extremity score, and a short excerpt from the body text (first 300 chars) |
||||
- As the analyst, read each motion and judge: "Would I assign this to the same extremity bucket (1–2 / 2–3 / 3–4 / 4–5)?" Record agreement per motion |
||||
- **Language impact divergence check:** For each motion, note whether the LLM score appears driven by *stylistic extremity* (inflammatory phrasing) or *material impact* (substantive rights restriction, institutional change). Flag motions where the two diverge (e.g., mild language but severe policy impact, or inflammatory language but trivial mechanism) |
||||
- Report overall agreement rate and note any systematic LLM bias (e.g., "LLM overrates anti-institutional language" or "LLM underrates economic nationalism") |
||||
- If agreement < 70%, flag LLM scoring as unreliable for the stratified analysis and note in the report; still present results but with stronger caveats |
||||
|
||||
9. **Report:** One markdown document with sections for each analysis, the manual audit table, embedded charts, and an honest uncertainty statement. Include N per extremity bucket so reader can gauge reliability. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `scripts/motion_drift.py` — matplotlib multi-panel chart saving |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/temporal_analysis.py` — yearly aggregation patterns |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/classify_motions.py` — title parsing for MP names and party mapping |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: script produces a markdown report with all analyses, manual audit table, and two charts. |
||||
- Edge case: missing data for a year → skip that year with a warning. |
||||
- Edge case: no opposition motions in a year → report NaN with a note. |
||||
- Edge case: coalition composition ambiguous for a year → document assumption and continue. |
||||
- Edge case: parsed submitter party has 0 "voor" votes in `voting_results` → flag as anomalous and skip for coalition tagging. |
||||
- Edge case: <5 motions in an extremity bucket → sample what's available and note reduced sample size. |
||||
- Edge case: manual audit agreement < 70% → flag LLM scoring reliability in the report. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report contains pre/post difference, Cohen's d, opposition-only comparison, baseline comparison, and extremity-stratified pass rates. |
||||
- Manual audit table shows agreement rate ≥ 70% (or unreliable flag set). |
||||
- Charts clearly show the 2024 break, the baseline reference, and pre/post pass rates by extremity bucket. |
||||
- Report includes an explicit statement about statistical limitations (small-N time series). |
||||
|

||||
|
||||
### U3. SVD Center Drift with Stability Validation |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Quantify whether the parliamentary center shifted rightward on the political compass, but only if axes are stable enough for cross-window comparison. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/overton_svd_drift.py` |
||||
- Create table: `overton_svd_center` (window_id, centrist_mean_axis1, centrist_mean_axis2, right_mean_axis1, right_mean_axis2, stability_score) |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/svd_drift_chart.png` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/svd_stability_report.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
|
||||
1. **Load SVD vectors** from `svd_vectors` table for all annual windows. |
||||
|
||||
2. **Compute mean position per party per window** using `compute_party_positions_from_vectors` logic. |
||||
|
||||
3. **Axis stability validation (GATE):** |
||||
- For each pair of consecutive windows, compute Spearman correlation of party rankings on axis 1 and axis 2 |
||||
- If correlation < 0.7 for either axis, flag the window pair as unstable |
||||
- If >2 unstable pairs exist, ABORT the cross-window comparison and report: "SVD axes are too unstable for longitudinal comparison. Positions may reflect re-orientation rather than genuine drift." |
||||
- If stable, proceed. |
||||
|
||||
4. **Calculate the "center of gravity":** |
||||
- Mean of centrist parties' axis-1 and axis-2 positions per window |
||||
- Also compute mean of right-wing parties' positions as a reference point |
||||
- Store in `overton_svd_center` |
||||
|
||||
5. **Plot:** |
||||
- Centrist center trajectory over time on the 2D compass |
||||
- Right-wing center trajectory as a dashed reference line |
||||
- Annual points labeled with year |
||||
|
||||
6. **Compute drift metrics:** |
||||
- Euclidean distance between consecutive annual centrist centers (drift speed) |
||||
- Net displacement from first to last window |
||||
- Angular direction of drift (is it toward the right-wing cluster?) |
||||
|
||||
7. **Report:** Markdown with stability validation results, drift metrics, and a clear statement about whether the drift is interpretable. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/explorer_data.py` — `load_party_scores_all_windows_aligned()`, `compute_party_positions_from_vectors` |
||||
- `explorer.py` — compass plotting with `PARTY_COLOURS` |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: table has one row per annual window with non-null centrist means and stability_score. |
||||
- Edge case: missing party in a window → compute mean over available centrist parties. |
||||
- Edge case: axis instability detected → script reports instability and skips drift interpretation. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `overton_svd_center` table has ≥8 rows (one per annual window). |
||||
- Stability validation is documented in the report. |
||||
- If stable, chart shows a clear centrist trajectory; 2024 position is visually rightward of 2020–2023. |
||||
- If unstable, report explicitly states that cross-window comparison is uninterpretable. |
||||

### U4. Compile Findings Report |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Synthesize all indicators into a concise, publishable narrative with honest uncertainty framing. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2, U3 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `reports/overton_window/findings_report.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
|
||||
1. Structure the report around the three indicators: |
||||
1. **Breakpoint & Coalition Control:** Did centrist support and pass rates break in 2024? Does the effect persist for opposition motions? (U2) |
||||
2. **Content Extremity Trend:** Did the extremity of proposed motions increase over time? How valid are the LLM scores? (U2 audit) |
||||
3. **Spatial Drift:** Did the parliamentary center move right on SVD axes? (U3) |
||||
4. **Domain Specificity:** Is the shift migration-specific or broader? (U2) |
||||
5. **Tolerance Shift:** Did centrists become more accepting of high-extremity content specifically? (U2 extremity-stratified) |
||||
|
||||
2. Include embedded charts from U2 (two figures) and U3. |
||||
|
||||
3. **Conclusion with uncertainty hierarchy:** |
||||
- Strong evidence: multiple indicators converge (e.g., opposition support rises + high-extremity pass rate rises + SVD drifts right + content extremity increases) |
||||
- Mixed evidence: some indicators shift, others don't |
||||
- Weak/unclear evidence: indicators conflict or data is too sparse |
||||
- Explicitly state that the Overton window is a theoretical construct; we measure observable correlates, not the construct itself. |
||||
|
||||
4. Cap at ~1,500 words. Let charts and tables carry the data. |
||||
|
||||
5. Include a "Limitations" section: |
||||
- Small-N time series (8–11 years) |
||||
- LLM extremity scores are content-based, not independently validated beyond the manual audit (step 8) |
||||
- SVD axis stability caveat |
||||
- Coalition composition uncertainty |
||||
- Submitter party identification is parsed from motion titles and may be inaccurate for multi-submitter motions |
||||
- Keyword penetration not analyzed (circular) |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `reports/drift/report.md` — existing report format |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report is readable, all chart references (2 figures from U2, 1 from U3) resolve, conclusion is grounded in the indicators. |
||||
- Report includes an explicit limitations section. |
||||
- Report does not claim statistical "proof" or "confirmation." |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **New table:** `overton_svd_center` is additive; no existing tables modified. |
||||
- **No UI changes:** Charts are saved as PNGs; report is markdown. |
||||
- **No agent_tools changes:** Analysis scripts are standalone. |
||||
- **Reproducibility:** All indicators are deterministic (no LLM calls). Rerunning produces identical results. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|---|---| |
||||
| Coalition composition is wrong for a year | Document assumptions; if uncertain, note sensitivity in report. | |
||||
| SVD positions are noisy or unstable | Stability validation gate (U3); if unstable, report explicitly says so. | |
||||
| Report overclaims causality | Frame all findings as "indicators" or "consistent with," not proof. The Overton window is a theoretical construct; we measure observable correlates. | |
||||
| Opposition-only subset is too small post-2024 | Report N for each comparison; if N<10, flag as unreliable. | |
||||
| Submitter party misidentified from title | Use `voting_results` as sanity check (flag if parsed party has 0 "voor" votes); document as known limitation. | |
||||
| Small-N time series invites spurious pattern-matching | Explicit limitations section; no statistical tests presented as confirmatory. | |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Documentation / Operational Notes |
||||
|
||||
- The report is intended for internal research consumption and potential academic/public communication. |
||||
- All code is standalone analysis scripts; no operational deployment. |
||||
- `overton_svd_center` table can be reused for future longitudinal analyses if SVD axes are validated as stable. |

# Fix Overton Window Analysis — Critical Corrections |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
The current reports have critical issues: (1) the findings report SVD section was never updated after the Procrustes rewrite — and the original sign-convention assumption was wrong (after flip correction, negative y = right-wing/nationalist), meaning centrists moved LEFT culturally, not right — the SVD shows divergence not convergence, which is actually stronger Overton evidence; (2) pass rate still pollutes tables and charts despite being a useless metric at 96%+ ceiling; (3) the synthesis doesn't name the key finding: "acceptance without conversion" — centrists vote more with right-wing despite becoming spatially MORE distant from them, the defining signature of an Overton window widening. Fix the reports, redraw Figure 1 to drop pass-rate panels, and produce a coherent narrative around this interpretation. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. Rewrite SVD section with correct axis interpretation and sign convention: axis 1 (economic, positive=pro-market) shows centrist leftward drift (-0.22). Axis 2 (cultural, negative=right-wing/nationalist after flip correction) shows centrists moved left culturally (+0.08 toward kosmopolitisch) while right-wing moved further right (-0.07 toward nationalist) — net cultural divergence of +0.15. The centrist-voting-rise / SVD-divergence combination is "acceptance without conversion." |
||||
- R2. Drop pass rate from all tables, chart panels, and narrative. Keep only centrist_support. |
||||
- R3. Rewrite Figure 1: single panel with 4–5 lines (RW overall, opposition-only, migration, non-migration, + all-motions baseline). No pass-rate panel. |
||||
- R4. Rewrite synthesis to name the central tension: centrist_support rises post-2024 but SVD axes show centrists moved LEFT economically and diverged from right culturally. This is not a contradiction — it's consistent with right-wing motions becoming more mainstream rather than centrists drifting right. |
||||
- R5. Update next steps section to reflect completed work. |
||||
- R6. Qualify "no extremity increase" with LLM bias caveats noted in the manual audit. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- In scope: Rewriting reports (markdown + chart regenerated from analysis script). |
||||
- Out of scope: Re-running LLM scoring, new data collection, changes to classification pipeline. |
||||
- Only `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` and the three report files in `reports/overton_window/` are affected. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Context & Research |
||||
|
||||
### Relevant Code and Patterns |
||||
|
||||
- `analysis/config.py` — SVD_THEMES[1] = economic, SVD_THEMES[2] = cultural/nationalist |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — Figure 1 generation at ~line 500 |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/svd_stability_report.md` — already has Procrustes-aligned results, needs axis interpretation |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/findings_report.md` — main synthesis, stale SVD section (still says "stability gate failed") |
||||
|
||||
### Key Axis Data (from svd_stability_report.md) |
||||
|
||||
| Year | Centrist Ax1 (econ) | Centrist Ax2 (cultural) | Right Ax1 | Right Ax2 | |
||||
|------|-----|------|------|------| |
||||
| 2016 | 0.340 | 0.010 | 0.132 | -0.272 | |
||||
| 2026 | 0.117 | 0.091 | 0.054 | -0.337 | |
||||
| Δ | **-0.223** (LEFT) | **+0.081** (RIGHT) | -0.078 | -0.065 (MORE nationalist) | |
||||
|
||||
**Cultural axis distance (centrist−right):** 2016: 0.282 → 2026: 0.428. INCREASED by +0.146. |
||||
|
||||
### Central Tension |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support for right-wing motions surged (d=+0.85 opposition-only), yet SVD axes show centrists: |
||||
- Moved LEFT economically (divergence from right) |
||||
- Moved slightly right culturally, but right moved even further right (INCREASING cultural divergence) |
||||
|
||||
Resolution: the Overton window widened → right-wing motions became more mainstream (closer to centrist positions on ax2), earning centrist support WITHOUT centrists meaningfully changing their overall position. The SVD measures overall voting-position similarity, not specific-motion support. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Keep Figure 2 as-is** — centrist_support per bucket with IQR is correct and informative. |
||||
- **Figure 1: merge into single panel** — 4–5 centrist_support lines + annotation, no pass rate. Pass rate adds no signal and clutters the visual. |
||||
- **SVD section: keep Procrustes results, fix interpretation only** — the data is right, the framing was wrong. |
||||
- **Do not add p-values or confidence intervals** — staying with descriptive stats as the plan commits to. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
### U1. Fix Figure 1 — Drop Pass Rate, Merge Panels |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Replace the 2-panel Figure 1 with a single chart showing centrist_support lines only. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R3 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` (Figure 1 generation) |
||||
- Regenerate: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_figure_1.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Replace 2-panel layout (ax1 centrist_support, ax2 pass_rate) with a single panel. |
||||
- Lines: RW overall (solid blue), opposition-only (dashed blue), migration (red), non-migration (green), all-motions baseline (gray dashed). |
||||
- Drop all pass-rate computation from `compute_yearly_aggregates()` baseline section (lines ~160–170). |
||||
- Vertical line at 2024, Cohen's d annotation box. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- Existing `create_figure_1()` at ~line 500 in the breakpoint script |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Figure renders without error. |
||||
- No pass-rate data in chart data paths. |
||||
- All 5 lines are distinguishable. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `breakpoint_figure_1.png` has a single panel with 5 lines and no pass-rate axis. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
### U2. Rewrite breakpoint_analysis.md — Drop Pass Rate from Tables |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Remove pass-rate columns from all tables in the breakpoint report. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_analysis.md` |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` (report generation section) |
||||
- Regenerate: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_analysis.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Section 1 table: remove Pass Rate and Right Support columns. Keep N, Centrist Support, Extremity, Left Opp. |
||||
- Section 2 tables: remove Pass Rate column. |
||||
- Section 4 table: remove PR columns. |
||||
- Update Section 5 header text to reference "centrist support" not "pass rate". |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- No "pass rate" or "PR" appears in breakpoint analysis tables. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
### U3. Rewrite Findings Report — SVD + Synthesis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Update the findings report with correct SVD interpretation (ax2 sign convention), name the "acceptance without conversion" finding, drop pass-rate mentions, update next steps. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1, R4, R5, R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1, U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/findings_report.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
|
||||
1. **SVD section (Section 4):** Replace "Stability gate: FAILED" with Procrustes results. Add a note explaining the sign convention: after flip correction, negative y = right-wing/nationalist (PVV at -0.56, FVD at -0.36), positive y = left-wing/kosmopolitisch (Volt at +0.27, GL-PvdA at +0.21). Present the data: |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | 2016 | 2026 | Δ | Direction | |
||||
|--------|------|------|---|-----------| |
||||
| Centrist Ax1 (econ) | +0.340 | +0.117 | -0.223 | Left (more welfare) | |
||||
| Centrist Ax2 (cultural) | +0.010 | +0.091 | +0.081 | Left (more kosmopolitisch) | |
||||
| Right Ax2 (cultural) | -0.272 | -0.337 | -0.065 | Right (more nationalist) | |
||||
|
||||
**Key finding:** Centrists moved LEFT on BOTH axes (more welfare-economics, more kosmopolitisch-culture) while right-wing moved further RIGHT on the cultural axis. Net cultural distance grew from 0.282 to 0.428 (+0.146). |
||||
|
||||
2. **SVD interpretation (the core insight):** "Acceptance without conversion." Centrists vote more with right-wing motions (d=+0.85) despite becoming spatially MORE distant from right-wing parties on the cultural axis. This is the defining signature of an Overton window widening: the range of acceptable policy expanded without centrist parties themselves converting to right-wing positions. Right-wing motions shifted toward topics/proposals centrists find harder to oppose, or the framing became more palatable, while the underlying party-ideology divide held or widened. |
||||
|
||||
3. **Section 1: Centrist Support:** Cut the "Pass rate is an insensitive measure" paragraph. Replace with one-sentence note. |
||||
|
||||
4. **Section 3: Content Extremity:** Add qualifier: "LLM audit shows 75% agreement with systematic overrating of anti-institutional and migration-adjacent content. A flat trend may partially reflect these biases rather than genuine content stability. See deferred two-dimensional rescoring." |
||||
|
||||
5. **Section 5 (Synthesis):** Restructure around three tiers: |
||||
- **Strong (converging):** Centrist voting support surged (d=+0.85 opposition-only). Migration is the primary domain (+0.233 vs +0.076 Δ), but non-migration starts at a higher baseline (0.53 vs 0.30 pre-2024). |
||||
- **Tension (not contradictory, explanatory):** SVD shows centrists moved LEFT on both axes post-2024 while cultural polarization grew. This is "acceptance without conversion" — the center supports right-wing motions more without becoming right-wing. The Overton window widened, party positions didn't shift. |
||||
- **Weak (noisy):** Content extremity trend is flat (d=-0.09) but relies on imperfect LLM scores (75% audit agreement, systematic overrating biases). Cannot confidently claim content didn't radicalize. |
||||
- Remove SVD row from "Inconclusive" — it's now "Explanatory: acceptance without conversion." |
||||
|
||||
6. **Section 8 (Next Steps):** Remove stale "Procrustes-aligned SVD" suggestion (already done). Keep two-dimensional rescoring and temporal decomposition. Add "mechanism analysis: what specific types of right-wing motions gained centrist support?" |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- SVD section references axis 1 = economic, axis 2 = cultural, with correct sign convention. |
||||
- "Acceptance without conversion" concept is clearly explained. |
||||
- All pass-rate mentions removed. |
||||
- Next steps don't suggest work that's already complete. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report is internally consistent. |
||||
- SVD narrative no longer claims (incorrectly) that centrists moved right on ax2. |
||||
- The synthesis presents acceptance-without-conversion as the unifying interpretation. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
### U4. Add Axis Labels to SVD Stability Report |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Add axis interpretation context to the Procrustes SVD tables. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/svd_stability_report.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Add a header row labeling axis-1 as "economic (pos=pro-market)" and axis-2 as "cultural (pos=nationalist)". |
||||
- Add a paragraph explaining what movement means on each axis. |
||||
- Add a net-drift-per-axis summary: ax1 Δ = -0.223 (centrist economic-left), ax2 Δ = +0.081 (centrist cultural-right). |
||||
- Add cultural distance widening note. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Reader understands which axis is which without consulting config.py. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **No code changes beyond breakpoint script** — chart regeneration only. |
||||
- **No database changes.** |
||||
- **Reports are markdown** — no pipeline dependency. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| Figure 1 rework breaks chart layout | Use existing `create_figure_1()` as template, test before committing | |
||||
| Axis interpretation oversimplifies SVD_THEMES | Cite source (`analysis/config.py` SVD_THEMES[1] and SVD_THEMES[2]) in report footnotes | |
||||
| Tension narrative feels like forced reconciliation | Frame explicitly as "this is what the data shows — we don't resolve it" | |

# Subagent-Based Two-Dimensional Extremity Rescoring and Mechanism Analysis |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
The current Overton analysis has a known weakness: the LLM extremity score conflates stylistic radicalism (inflammatory language) with material policy impact (rights restricted, groups affected). The manual audit of 20 motions suggested 75% agreement — enough to trust the broad findings but not the fine-grained extremity-stratified analysis. This plan replaces the OpenRouter-based scoring pipeline with project-local subagents (deepseek v4 flash) that score motions via native reasoning. The subagent skill is a durable project asset usable for future LLM analyses. Additionally, we analyze which specific types of right-wing motions gained centrist support post-2024 (mechanism analysis), and compare content extremity shifts over time with the new dual-dimension scores. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
The current `extremity_scorer.py` calls OpenRouter (mistral-small) with a single-dimension prompt asking "how radical is this?" on a 1-5 scale. This conflates two dimensions: |
||||
|
||||
- **Stylistic extremity**: How inflammatory/harsh is the language? |
||||
- **Material impact**: How much would this policy actually restrict rights, affect groups, or reshape institutions? |
||||
|
||||
The current scores cannot separate "rude but harmless" from "measured but devastating." The findings report flags this as the primary measurement concern (LLM audit at 75% agreement, systematic overrating of anti-institutional language). |
||||
|
||||
Additionally, the Overton analysis tells us *that* centrist support rose post-2024 but not *which kinds* of right-wing motions drove this shift. Mechanism analysis fills this gap. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. Write a project-local skill at `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/` that defines a two-dimensional scoring prompt, JSON output schema, and subagent-spawning workflow. The skill is a durable asset for future LLM analyses. |
||||
- R2. Score a stratified sample of 100 right-wing motions (25 per extremity bucket, 1-2 / 2-3 / 3-4 / 4-5) for both stylistic extremity and material impact. Compute correlation between the two dimensions. |
||||
- R3. If r > 0.7, confirm the single-dimensional scores are directionally usable. If r < 0.7, flag that separate dimensions matter and extend the sample. |
||||
- R4. Mechanism analysis: classify the 2,986 right-wing motions by policy mechanism (what specific institutional change the motion proposes) and compute which mechanisms gained the most centrist support post-2024. |
||||
- R5. Build the scoring infrastructure test-first. Each scoring subagent and the orchestration layer have unit tests mocking the subagent dispatch. |
||||
- R6. Update the findings report with dual-dimension correlation, mechanism analysis results, and refreshed content extremity narrative. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- In scope: Writing the skill, stratified 100-motion sample, mechanism classification, test infrastructure, report update. |
||||
- Out of scope: Re-scoring all 2,986 motions (deferred until r is measured). Interactive dashboard. Streamlit UI changes. |
||||
- The skill lives at `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/SKILL.md` — one file, no Python dependencies. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Context & Research |
||||
|
||||
### Relevant Code and Patterns |
||||
|
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_scorer.py` — current single-dimension scoring (prompt template, JSON schema, batch orchestration) |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/direction3_migration_antidemocratic.py` — analysis script pattern (DuckDB queries, matplotlib charts, markdown output) |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/findings_report.md` — current report with Section 8 next steps |
||||
- `tests/right_wing/` — empty directory, target for new test files |
||||
|
||||
### Institutional Learnings |
||||
|
||||
- `docs/solutions/best-practices/overton-window-shift-methodology-2026-05-24.md` — Step 7 describes 2D rescoring and manual audit |
||||
- `docs/solutions/insights/llm-motion-classification-prompt-design.md` — prior work on orthogonal prompt dimensions |
||||
|
||||
### Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Subagents, not OpenRouter API calls.** deepseek v4 flash subagents score motions natively via reasoning. No API keys, no rate limits, no cost. The orchestrating script spawns subagents via the `task` tool and collects structured JSON. |
||||
- **Skill as prompt artifact, not code.** The `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/SKILL.md` defines the scoring prompt, JSON schema, and subagent-spawning instructions in natural language. The orchestrating Python script reads the skill, formats prompts, and spawns subagents. |
||||
- **Batch size: 10 motions per subagent.** Each subagent scores 10 motions for both dimensions. 100 motions = 10 subagents. Parallel dispatch via one `task` call per batch. |
||||
- **Stratified sample across all 4 extremity buckets.** 25 per bucket from the existing LLM scores. This tests whether the two dimensions diverge more in high-extremity buckets (where inflammatory language may dominate). |
||||
- **Mechanism taxonomy derived from the data.** The subagent derives mechanism categories from the motion text (e.g., "detention/removal", "benefit restriction", "institutional bypass", "symbolic/declarative", "rights limitation", "procedural hurdle"). No pre-defined taxonomy. |
||||
- **Storage: two DB tables.** `extremity_scores_2d` (motion_id, stylistic_score, material_score, subagent_explanation) and `motion_mechanisms` (motion_id, mechanism_category, centrist_support_delta). Existing tables unchanged. |
||||
|
||||
### Open Questions |
||||
|
||||
#### Resolved During Planning |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: How to test subagent spawning?** Mock the subagent dispatch layer. The skill produces a JSON contract; test that the orchestrator correctly parses and stores results. |
||||
- **Q: Which 100 motions to sample?** Stratified random from the 2,986 classified right-wing motions, 25 per extremity bucket, seeded for reproducibility. |
||||
|
||||
#### Deferred to Implementation |
||||
|
||||
- **Q: Exact mechanism taxonomy** — derived by the subagent from the data, not pre-specified. |
||||
- **Q: Whether to extend the sample beyond 100** — depends on the r value between dimensions. |

## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
### U1. Write the Scoring Skill |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Create a project-local skill that an orchestrator can read to configure subagent-based two-dimensional extremity scoring. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/SKILL.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- YAML frontmatter: `name: score-extremity`, `description: "Two-dimensional extremity scoring for Dutch parliamentary motions. Use when scoring policy radicalism along stylistic vs material impact dimensions."` |
||||
- Body: the two-dimensional scoring prompt (in Dutch, matching the existing PROMPT_TEMPLATE style). Define two scores: `stijl_extremiteit` (1–5, inflammatory language) and `materiele_impact` (1–5, substantive rights/policy effect). |
||||
- Body: the JSON output schema matching the prompt. |
||||
- Body: instructions for how the orchestrator should spawn subagents (batch size 10, parallel dispatch, collect results, validate JSON). |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- Existing PROMPT_TEMPLATE in `analysis/right_wing/extremity_scorer.py` for prompt structure |
||||
- `~/.config/opencode/skills/ce-work/SKILL.md` for YAML frontmatter conventions |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Edge case: skill file has valid YAML frontmatter with required `name` and `description` fields. |
||||
- Edge case: skill body contains the expected sections (prompt template, JSON schema, usage instructions). |
||||
- Happy path: orchestrator can read the skill file and extract prompt + schema. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `opencode` detects the skill at startup (listed in available_skills). |
||||
- The skill contains a clear two-dimensional scoring prompt in Dutch. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
### U2. Build Orchestrator + Subagent Scoring Pipeline (TDD) |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Build the orchestrating script that reads the skill, queries 100 motions, spawns subagents, collects and validates results, and stores two-dimensional scores in the database. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/extremity_rescore_2d.py` |
||||
- Create: `tests/right_wing/test_extremity_rescore_2d.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. **Test-first:** Write tests for the orchestrator before implementation: |
||||
- Test that `load_skill()` returns prompt and schema from SKILL.md |
||||
- Test that `format_batches(motions, batch_size=10)` splits correctly |
||||
- Test that `validate_subagent_result(result, schema)` catches malformed JSON |
||||
- Test that `store_scores(db_path, results)` writes to `extremity_scores_2d` table |
||||
- Mock the subagent dispatch to return synthetic JSON |
||||
2. **Implementation:** |
||||
- `load_skill()` — reads `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/SKILL.md`, parses YAML frontmatter, returns body |
||||
- `sample_motions(db_path, n_per_bucket=25, seed=42)` — stratified query from `right_wing_motions` JOIN `extremity_scores` |
||||
- `format_batches()` — groups motions into batches of 10, builds prompts with motion text + layman explanation |
||||
- `spawn_and_collect()` — orchestrator reads the skill, manually formats context for each subagent batch, spawns via `task` tool with return JSON contract |
||||
- `validate_and_store()` — validates each result against the schema, writes to DB |
||||
3. **Database:** `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS extremity_scores_2d (motion_id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, stylistic_score INTEGER, material_score INTEGER, stylistic_rationale TEXT, material_rationale TEXT)` |
||||
|
||||
**Execution note:** Implement test-first. Write failing tests, then implementation. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_scorer.py` — existing DB write patterns |
||||
- `tests/agent_tools/test_database_tools.py` — temp DB fixture patterns |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: load_skill returns non-empty prompt and schema. |
||||
- Happy path: format_batches with 100 motions produces 10 batches of 10. |
||||
- Happy path: validate_and_store with valid JSON inserts 10 rows into extremity_scores_2d. |
||||
- Edge case: missing SKILL.md raises clear error. |
||||
- Edge case: fewer than 100 motions in a bucket samples what's available. |
||||
- Edge case: subagent returns missing field in JSON — validator rejects. |
||||
- Edge case: subagent returns score outside 1–5 range — validator rejects. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- All tests pass before any subagent is spawned. |
||||
- `extremity_scores_2d` table exists with correct schema. |
||||
- Orchestrator can be configured with a `--dry-run` flag that validates the pipeline without spawning subagents. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### U3. Execute the 100-Motion Rescoring |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Run the orchestrator to score 100 motions, compute the correlation between stylistic and material extremity, and report the results. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2, R3 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/right_wing/extremity_rescore_2d.py` (any fixes from live run) |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/extremity_2d_correlation.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. Run the orchestrator with actual subagent dispatch (no `--dry-run`) |
||||
2. Spawn 10 subagents in parallel, each scoring 10 motions |
||||
3. Collect all results, validate against schema |
||||
4. Compute Pearson r between stylistic_score and material_score |
||||
5. Write a short correlation report with: |
||||
- Overall r and per-bucket r |
||||
- Scatter plot of stylistic vs material scores |
||||
- Conclusion: "dimensions are separable" if r < 0.7, "single score sufficient" if r > 0.7 |
||||
- Recommendation for next steps (extend sample, re-score all, or proceed) |
||||
|
||||
**Technical design:** |
||||
The orchestrator calls the `task` tool with the skill's prompt and each batch's motion data. Each subagent returns: |
||||
```json |
||||
{ |
||||
"motions": [ |
||||
{"motion_id": 123, "stijl_extremiteit": 3, "materiele_impact": 4, "rationale": "..."} |
||||
] |
||||
} |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- 100 motions have both stylistic_score and material_score. |
||||
- Correlation report written with clear r value. |
||||
- All scores are integers 1–5. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
### U4. Mechanism Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Classify right-wing motions by policy mechanism and compute which mechanisms gained the most centrist support post-2024. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None (reads existing DB tables) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_analysis.py` |
||||
- Create: `tests/right_wing/test_mechanism_analysis.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/mechanism_analysis.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. **Subagent-based classification:** Spawn subagents to classify motions by mechanism. Each subagent receives 25 motions and returns JSON mapping `motion_id -> mechanism_category`. The subagent derives categories from the data (not a pre-defined taxonomy). |
||||
2. **Test-first:** Write tests for the orchestration layer (query, batch formatting, table creation, result validation). |
||||
3. **Compute centrist support per mechanism:** Using `centrist_support_strict` from `right_wing_motions`, compute pre/post-2024 centrist support and delta per mechanism category. |
||||
4. **Report:** Table of mechanism categories ranked by centrist support delta, with N per category. Top-5 mechanisms visualization. |
||||
|
||||
**Execution note:** Implement test-first. Mock subagent dispatch in tests. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/direction3_migration_antidemocratic.py` — category breakdown patterns |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — pre/post comparison patterns |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: mechanism analysis script runs on real DB and produces a markdown report. |
||||
- Happy path: table has mechanism categories with N, pre-CS, post-CS, delta columns. |
||||
- Edge case: subagent returns unknown mechanism category — orchestrator normalizes or flags. |
||||
- Edge case: mechanism category with <5 motions flagged as unreliable. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/mechanism_analysis.md` exists with mechanism breakdown. |
||||
- Report includes centrist support delta per mechanism. |
||||
- Top mechanism is identified with supporting evidence from motion titles. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### U5. Update Findings Report |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Integrate dual-dimension correlation and mechanism analysis into the Overton findings report. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U3, U4 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/findings_report.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
1. Add a new Section 3b (or update Section 3 Content Extremity) with: |
||||
- Two-dimensional scoring results and correlation |
||||
- Whether the single-dimensional scores are confirmed or need revision |
||||
- Updated content extremity narrative with caveats refined by dual-dimension insight |
||||
2. Add a new Section 7 (Mechanism Analysis) with: |
||||
- Which mechanisms drove the centrist support surge |
||||
- Migration vs non-migration mechanism differences |
||||
3. Update Section 8 (Next Steps) to reflect completed 2D rescoring and mechanism work |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report is internally consistent. |
||||
- New sections reference the right figures and tables. |
||||
- Next steps don't list work that's already done. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **New DB tables:** `extremity_scores_2d`, `motion_mechanisms` — additive, no existing data modified. |
||||
- **New skill:** `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/SKILL.md` — no code impact, only prompt artifact. |
||||
- **No UI changes, no agent_tools changes, no pipeline changes.** |
||||
- **Tests:** New tests in `tests/right_wing/` do not affect existing test suite. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|---|---| |
||||
| Subagent capacity limits (too many parallel dispatches) | Batch size 10 = 10 parallel subagents. Well within limits for 100 motions. If extending to 2,986, use hybrid approach (larger batches or fallback to API). | |
||||
| Subagent returns malformed JSON | Validator layer rejects and retries individual batches (max 2 retries). | |
||||
| Two dimensions correlate highly (r > 0.9) | Confirms the single-dimensional scores are directionally valid. Write this finding up as a confirmatory result — still valuable. | |
||||
| Mechanism taxonomy is too coarse to discriminate | Subagent derives from data, not pre-defined taxonomy. Iterative refinement in the subagent prompt if first pass is noisy. | |

# Address Critical Gaps in Overton Window Analysis |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
The current Overton window synthesis identifies a structural break in centrist voting behavior post-2024 but leaves critical analytical gaps unresolved. This plan addresses the seven most important gaps: temporal trajectory analysis, 2D extremity decomposition, systematic mechanism classification, causal mechanism exploration, left-wing response patterns, motion success correlation, and quarterly granularity. The goal is to transform the current "what happened" analysis into a "how and why" explanation. |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
The synthesis report establishes that centrist support for right-wing motions surged from 0.251 to 0.507 (d=+0.65) and that right-wing parties moderated their proposals (material impact 2.78→2.43). However, the analysis relies on a binary pre/post-2024 split that obscures the actual dynamics. We don't know whether the shift was immediate (post-election shock) or gradual (learning curve), whether the 2D extremity trends diverge over time, whether the 24-motion mechanism sample generalizes, or what actually caused the behavioral change. These gaps prevent us from distinguishing between competing explanations: strategic adaptation by right-wing parties, genuine ideological convergence by centrists, coalition dynamics, or external shocks. |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. Replace binary pre/post-2024 analysis with continuous temporal trajectories showing when and how the shift occurred |
||||
- R2. Decompose 2D extremity scores into separate stylistic and material trend lines to test whether the "flat single-dimension trend" masks diverging trajectories |
||||
- R3. Systematically classify mechanisms across a representative sample (not just 24 top motions) to validate the consensus framing hypothesis |
||||
- R4. Identify causal mechanisms by correlating the timing of the shift with political events (Schoof cabinet formation, European rightward shift, specific policy crises) |
||||
- R5. Analyze left-wing voting patterns to determine whether the shift reflects right-wing moderation, centrist acceptance, or left-wing opposition hardening |
||||
- R6. Correlate centrist support with actual motion passage to test whether high-support motions passed at higher rates |
||||
- R7. Provide quarterly or monthly granularity to distinguish immediate post-election effects from gradual adaptation |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- In scope: Quantitative analysis of existing data (motions, votes, 2D scores, SVD positions). No new data collection. |
||||
- Out of scope: Qualitative interviews, media analysis, public opinion data, comparative analysis with other countries. |
||||
- Deferred: Full causal inference modeling (diff-in-diff, regression discontinuity) — requires more sophisticated statistical framework than current descriptive approach. |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Temporal unit**: Use quarterly aggregation (Q1 2016 through Q2 2026 = 42 quarters). Monthly would be too noisy; annual loses the 2024 breakpoint resolution. |
||||
- **2D extremity analysis**: Compute separate yearly means for stylistic and material scores, then test for divergence using paired t-tests or Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. |
||||
- **Mechanism classification**: Use the existing 24-motion taxonomy (consensus framing, institutional, welfare, procedural, local, coalition, symbolic, targeted restriction, system dismantling, crisis response) and apply it to a stratified sample of 200 motions (50 pre-2024, 150 post-2024) using LLM classification with manual validation of 20%. |
||||
- **Causal timing**: Identify the exact quarter when centrist support crossed the 0.4 threshold (midpoint between pre and post means) and correlate with political events. |
||||
- **Left-wing analysis**: Compute left_support_mp (already exists) and analyze whether left-wing opposition hardened (decreased support) or remained stable. |
||||
- **Success correlation**: Compute pass_rate for motions binned by centrist_support quartiles (0-0.25, 0.25-0.5, 0.5-0.75, 0.75-1.0) and test for monotonic relationship. |
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
### U1. Temporal Trajectory Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Replace binary pre/post analysis with continuous quarterly trajectories showing the exact timing and shape of the centrist support shift. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1, R7 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/temporal_trajectory.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/temporal_trajectory.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/temporal_trajectory_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Aggregate centrist_support_strict by quarter (2016-Q1 through 2026-Q2) |
||||
- Compute rolling 3-quarter moving average to smooth noise |
||||
- Identify the inflection point: first quarter where centrist_support > 0.4 |
||||
- Plot trajectory with confidence intervals (bootstrap resampling, 1000 iterations) |
||||
- Annotate political events: 2021 election, 2023 election, July 2024 Schoof cabinet formation |
||||
- Compute quarterly motion counts to show volume surge timing |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/temporal_analysis.py` — yearly aggregation pattern |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — matplotlib chart patterns |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script produces quarterly aggregates for all 42 quarters, identifies inflection point, generates figure with 5 lines (overall, opposition-only, migration, non-migration, all-motions baseline) |
||||
- Edge case: Quarters with <10 motions should show wider confidence intervals |
||||
- Edge case: 2026-Q2 (partial year) should be flagged as incomplete |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `temporal_trajectory.md` contains a table with quarterly centrist_support, motion counts, and confidence intervals |
||||
- Figure shows the exact quarter when the shift began and whether it was immediate or gradual |
||||
- Inflection point is explicitly identified and correlated with political events |
||||
|
||||
### U2. 2D Extremity Temporal Decomposition |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Test whether the "flat single-dimension trend" masks diverging trajectories when stylistic and material scores are analyzed separately. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (uses same temporal framework) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/extremity_2d_temporal.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/extremity_2d_temporal.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/extremity_2d_temporal_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Join extremity_scores_2d with right_wing_motions to get year for each motion |
||||
- Compute yearly means for stylistic_score and material_score separately |
||||
- Plot both trajectories on the same figure with the original single-dimension score for comparison |
||||
- Test for divergence: paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test on yearly (stylistic, material) pairs |
||||
- Compute the gap (material - stylistic) over time to see if it's widening, narrowing, or stable |
||||
- Stratify by domain (migration vs non-migration) to test whether the gap differs by policy area |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_rescore_2d.py` — 2D score structure |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/temporal_analysis.py` — yearly aggregation |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script produces yearly means for both dimensions, generates figure with 3 lines (stylistic, material, original), computes divergence test statistic |
||||
- Edge case: Years with <50 scored motions should be flagged as low-confidence |
||||
- Integration: Results should be consistent with the aggregate findings (material > stylistic, r≈0.47) |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `extremity_2d_temporal.md` contains a table with yearly stylistic and material means |
||||
- Figure shows whether the two dimensions diverged over time or moved in parallel |
||||
- Divergence test result is reported (p-value or effect size) |
||||
|
||||
### U3. Systematic Mechanism Classification |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Validate the consensus framing hypothesis by classifying mechanisms across a representative sample of 200 motions, not just the 24 highest-support motions. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R3 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_classification.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/mechanism_classification.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Stratified sampling: 50 pre-2024 motions (25 high centrist support, 25 low), 150 post-2024 motions (75 high, 75 low) |
||||
- Use LLM classification with the 10-mechanism taxonomy from the synthesis report |
||||
- Prompt template: "Classify this motion's primary mechanism for gaining centrist support: [taxonomy with definitions]" |
||||
- Manual validation: randomly sample 40 motions (20%) and have a human reviewer confirm or correct the classification |
||||
- Compute mechanism distribution by period (pre vs post) and by centrist support level (high vs low) |
||||
- Test whether consensus framing is more common in high-support post-2024 motions than in other groups |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/derive_categories.py` — LLM classification pattern |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_rescore_2d.py` — batch processing with validation |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script classifies 200 motions, produces mechanism distribution table, computes chi-squared test for mechanism × period × support interaction |
||||
- Edge case: LLM returns invalid mechanism labels should be caught and re-prompted |
||||
- Integration: Manual validation should achieve >80% agreement with LLM classifications |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `mechanism_classification.md` contains a table showing mechanism distribution across 4 groups (pre-high, pre-low, post-high, post-low) |
||||
- Chi-squared test result is reported |
||||
- Manual validation agreement rate is reported |
||||
|
||||
### U4. Causal Timing Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Identify the exact timing of the centrist support shift and correlate it with political events to distinguish between competing causal explanations. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4, R7 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (uses quarterly trajectory data) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/causal_timing.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/causal_timing.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Use the quarterly trajectory from U1 |
||||
- Identify the inflection point: first quarter where centrist_support > 0.4 (midpoint between pre=0.25 and post=0.51) |
||||
- Compute the "shift velocity": change in centrist_support per quarter in the 4 quarters before and after the inflection point |
||||
- Correlate with political events timeline: |
||||
- March 2021: Rutte IV election |
||||
- November 2023: Schoof election (PVV victory) |
||||
- July 2024: Schoof cabinet formation |
||||
- Ongoing: European rightward shift (Meloni 2022, Sweden 2022, Finland 2023) |
||||
- Test whether the shift was immediate (single-quarter jump) or gradual (multi-quarter ramp) |
||||
- Compute "event proximity": did the shift begin before or after the Schoof cabinet formation? |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — breakpoint detection logic |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script identifies inflection point quarter, computes shift velocity, generates timeline figure with annotated events |
||||
- Edge case: If no clear inflection point (gradual shift), report the quarter with the steepest slope |
||||
- Integration: Results should be consistent with U1 trajectory analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `causal_timing.md` explicitly states which quarter the shift began |
||||
- Shift velocity is reported (quarters to reach 80% of the total shift) |
||||
- Timeline figure shows the relationship between the shift and political events |
||||
|
||||
### U5. Left-Wing Response Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Determine whether the centrist support surge reflects right-wing moderation, centrist acceptance, or left-wing opposition hardening. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/left_wing_response.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/left_wing_response.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/left_wing_response_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Compute left_support_mp (already exists in right_wing_motions) for pre and post-2024 |
||||
- Stratify by left party: SP, PvdA, GroenLinks, PvdD, Volt, DENK |
||||
- Test whether left-wing opposition hardened (decreased support) or remained stable |
||||
- Compute the "polarization gap": (centrist_support - left_support) over time |
||||
- If the gap widened, it could reflect centrist acceptance OR left-wing hardening OR both |
||||
- Stratify by domain to see if left-wing hardening is concentrated in migration (where centrist acceptance is highest) |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — party-level vote analysis |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/migrate_mp_level_metrics.py` — left_support_mp computation |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script computes pre/post left_support_mp by party, generates figure showing left-wing trajectory vs centrist trajectory |
||||
- Edge case: Parties with <5 MPs in a given year should be excluded from party-level analysis |
||||
- Integration: Results should be consistent with the synthesis report's claim that "left opposition hardened" |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `left_wing_response.md` contains a table with pre/post left_support_mp by party |
||||
- Figure shows whether left-wing opposition hardened, softened, or remained stable |
||||
- Polarization gap trajectory is reported |
||||
|
||||
### U6. Motion Success Correlation |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Test whether motions with high centrist support actually passed at higher rates, validating that centrist support translates to legislative success. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/success_correlation.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/success_correlation.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Compute pass_rate for right-wing motions binned by centrist_support quartiles: [0-0.25], (0.25-0.5], (0.5-0.75], (0.75-1.0] |
||||
- Test for monotonic relationship using Cochran-Armitage trend test |
||||
- Stratify by period (pre vs post-2024) to see if the relationship strengthened after the shift |
||||
- Control for motion type: government motions (from coalition parties) vs opposition motions |
||||
- Compute "success premium": pass_rate(high support) - pass_rate(low support) |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — pass rate computation (even though it's 96%+, we're testing for variation within that 4%) |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script computes pass_rate by centrist_support quartile, performs trend test, generates table |
||||
- Edge case: Quartiles with <50 motions should be flagged as low-confidence |
||||
- Integration: Results should show whether the 96%+ pass rate is uniform or varies by centrist support level |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `success_correlation.md` contains a table with pass_rate by centrist_support quartile |
||||
- Trend test result is reported (p-value) |
||||
- Success premium is computed and interpreted |
||||
|
||||
### U7. Synthesis Update |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Integrate all new findings into the synthesis report, updating the verdict and uncertainty hierarchy. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1-R7 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1, U2, U3, U4, U5, U6 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/overton_window_synthesis.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Update the "Three Indicators at a Glance" table with new temporal and 2D findings |
||||
- Add a new section "Temporal Dynamics" summarizing U1 and U4 findings (when the shift happened, how fast) |
||||
- Add a new section "2D Extremity Trajectories" summarizing U2 findings (whether stylistic and material diverged) |
||||
- Update the "Mechanisms of Influence" section with U3 systematic classification results |
||||
- Add a new section "Causal Mechanisms" summarizing U4 timing analysis and event correlation |
||||
- Add a new section "Left-Wing Response" summarizing U5 findings |
||||
- Update the "Uncertainty Hierarchy" table to reflect which gaps are now resolved |
||||
- Revise the verdict if new evidence changes the interpretation |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- Existing synthesis report structure |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: All U1-U6 outputs are integrated, uncertainty hierarchy is updated, verdict is revised if needed |
||||
- Integration: Report remains internally consistent after updates |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Synthesis report contains new sections for temporal dynamics, 2D trajectories, causal mechanisms, and left-wing response |
||||
- Uncertainty hierarchy table reflects the current state of knowledge |
||||
- Verdict is supported by all available evidence |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **No database changes:** All analysis uses existing tables (right_wing_motions, extremity_scores_2d, mp_votes, motions) |
||||
- **No UI changes:** All outputs are markdown reports and PNG figures |
||||
- **No agent_tools changes:** Analysis scripts are standalone |
||||
- **Reproducibility:** All scripts are deterministic given the same database state |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| Quarterly aggregation produces noisy estimates for low-volume quarters | Use 3-quarter moving average and bootstrap confidence intervals | |
||||
| LLM mechanism classification may be inconsistent | Manual validation of 20% sample, re-prompt invalid classifications | |
||||
| Causal timing analysis may be ambiguous (gradual vs immediate shift) | Report both the inflection point and the shift velocity; let the data speak | |
||||
| Left-wing analysis may be underpowered for small parties | Exclude parties with <5 MPs in a given year from party-level analysis | |
||||
| Pass rate analysis may find no variation (96%+ ceiling) | Report the result honestly; if no correlation exists, say so | |
||||

# Overton Window Analysis: Improvements and Extensions |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
The current Overton window analysis is methodologically strong — multi-indicator, 2D extremity decomposition, causal timing, mechanism classification. But it has structural gaps that limit interpretability. This plan addresses six gaps: (1) right-wing party differentiation (PVV vs FVD vs JA21 vs SGP — who filed the motions?), (2) coalition coding fix (split 2024 into Rutte IV / Schoof periods), (3) voting margin analysis (the 96% ceiling makes pass rate useless — use actual voor/tegen percentages instead), (4) SVD temporal trajectory (plot the spatial drift over 10 annual windows), (5) mechanism classification validation (second classifier for inter-rater reliability), and (6) predictive modeling (what motion features predict centrist support?). Each unit is independent and can be executed in parallel. |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
The synthesis report establishes that the Overton window did not shift right — right-wing parties moderated toward it. But the analysis treats right-wing parties as a bloc, uses a binary coalition coding that misattributes early 2024 motions, relies on pass rate as a success metric despite its 96% ceiling, and has no SVD visualization of the spatial drift. The mechanism classification (200 motions, single classifier) lacks inter-rater validation. Most critically, we have no predictive model: we can describe *what* happened but not *what features* predict which motions will gain centrist support. |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. Break down centrist support, extremity, and mechanism patterns by right-wing party (PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP) to identify which party drives the moderation effect |
||||
- R2. Fix coalition coding by splitting 2024 into pre-Schoof (Rutte IV, Jan-Jun) and post-Schoof (Schoof, Jul-Dec) periods |
||||
- R3. Replace pass rate with voting margin analysis (actual voor/tegen percentages) as the primary success metric |
||||
- R4. Visualize SVD spatial drift over 10 annual windows showing centrist and right-wing trajectories |
||||
- R5. Validate mechanism classification with a second classifier and compute inter-rater reliability (Cohen's kappa) |
||||
- R6. Build a predictive model for centrist support using motion features (category, extremity scores, submitter party, mechanism, text features) |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- In scope: Quantitative analysis of existing data, new visualizations, predictive modeling |
||||
- Out of scope: Qualitative interviews, media analysis, public opinion data, international comparison |
||||
- Deferred: Cross-domain interaction analysis (migration × security), network/gateway motion analysis, submitter-level MP analysis |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Party differentiation:** Use `voting_results` JSON from motions table to extract per-party vote counts. Compute party-specific centrist support separately for PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP motions. |
||||
- **Coalition coding:** Split 2024 at July 1, 2024 (Schoof cabinet formation). Motions dated before July 2024 use Rutte IV coalition; after use Schoof coalition. |
||||
- **Voting margin:** Compute `margin = (voor - tegen) / (voor + tegen + afwezig)` per motion. This gives a continuous [-1, 1] scale instead of binary pass/fail. |
||||
- **SVD trajectory:** Use existing `load_party_scores_all_windows_aligned()` to get 2D positions for all parties across 10 windows. Plot as trajectory arrows. |
||||
- **Mechanism validation:** Use a second LLM (different model or different prompt) to classify the same 200 motions. Compute Cohen's kappa. |
||||
- **Predictive model:** Use logistic regression or random forest with features: category, stijl_extremiteit, materiele_impact, submitter_party, mechanism, text_length, keyword_count. |
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
### U1. Right-Wing Party Differentiation |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Break down all key metrics by right-wing party to identify which party drives the moderation effect. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/party_differentiation.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/party_differentiation.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/party_differentiation_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Parse `voting_results` JSON from motions table to identify the submitter party for each right-wing motion |
||||
- Compute per-party: motion volume, mean centrist_support, mean extremity (2D), mechanism distribution |
||||
- Stratify by period (pre vs post-2024) |
||||
- Test whether PVV's moderation is distinct from FVD/JA21/SGP |
||||
- Plot: 4-panel figure with (a) volume over time, (b) centrist support over time, (c) extremity over time, (d) mechanism distribution |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — party-level analysis patterns |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/classify_motions.py` — submitter parsing from title |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script produces per-party metrics for PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP across all years |
||||
- Edge case: Multi-submitter motions (use first submitter) |
||||
- Edge case: Parties with <10 motions in a year → exclude from party-level analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report contains per-party tables for volume, centrist support, extremity, mechanisms |
||||
- Figure shows whether moderation is PVV-specific or party-general |
||||
|
||||
### U2. Coalition Coding Fix |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Split 2024 into pre-Schoof (Rutte IV) and post-Schoof (Schoof) periods to eliminate coalition coding ambiguity. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R2 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` (coalition coding logic) |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/right_wing/temporal_trajectory.py` (quarterly analysis) |
||||
- Output: Updated reports with corrected coalition coding |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Define coalition periods: Rutte IV (2022-Oct to 2024-Jul), Schoof (2024-Jul to present) |
||||
- Update `is_opposition` logic to use motion date for period detection |
||||
- Re-run opposition-only analysis with corrected coding |
||||
- Compare results with original binary coding |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` — existing coalition coding at line ~200 |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Opposition-only analysis shows corrected centrist support trajectory |
||||
- Edge case: Motions in July 2024 (transition month) → assign to Schoof |
||||
- Integration: Results should be consistent with temporal trajectory findings |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Opposition-only centrist support trajectory is recalculated with corrected coding |
||||
- Report explicitly states the coding change and its impact on findings |
||||
|
||||
### U3. Voting Margin Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Replace binary pass/fail with continuous voting margin as the primary success metric. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R3 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/voting_margin.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/voting_margin.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/voting_margin_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Compute `margin = (voor - tegen) / (voor + tegen + afwezig)` for each right-wing motion |
||||
- Analyze margin distribution by centrist support quartile |
||||
- Test whether higher centrist support → higher margin (not just pass/fail) |
||||
- Stratify by period (pre vs post-2024) |
||||
- Plot: margin distribution by centrist support quartile, with period comparison |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/success_correlation.py` — existing pass rate analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Script computes margins for all right-wing motions, produces distribution figure |
||||
- Edge case: Motions with 0 votes → exclude |
||||
- Edge case: Motions with unanimous support → margin = 1.0 |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report contains margin distribution by centrist support quartile |
||||
- Figure shows whether centrist support predicts voting margin (continuous) better than pass rate (binary) |
||||
|
||||
### U4. SVD Temporal Trajectory Visualization |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Visualize SVD spatial drift over 10 annual windows showing centrist and right-wing party trajectories. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/svd_trajectory_viz.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/svd_trajectory_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Use `load_party_scores_all_windows_aligned()` to get 2D positions for all parties across 10 windows |
||||
- Plot: 2D compass with trajectory arrows for centrist parties (VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU) and right-wing parties (PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP) |
||||
- Color by party, arrow direction shows temporal progression |
||||
- Annotate windows with year labels |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/overton_svd_drift.py` — existing SVD drift analysis |
||||
- `explorer.py` — compass plotting with PARTY_COLOURS |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Figure shows clear trajectory arrows for all parties |
||||
- Edge case: Missing party in a window → skip that arrow segment |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Figure shows whether centrist parties moved left while right-wing parties moved right |
||||
- Trajectory arrows are clearly labeled with year markers |
||||
|
||||
### U5. Mechanism Classification Validation |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Validate mechanism classification with a second classifier and compute inter-rater reliability. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_validation.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/mechanism_validation.md` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Use a second LLM (different model or different prompt) to classify the same 200 motions |
||||
- Compute Cohen's kappa for inter-rater reliability |
||||
- Report disagreements and resolve them |
||||
- Update mechanism classification with validated results |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_classification.py` — existing classification |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Second classifier produces classifications for all 200 motions |
||||
- Edge case: Disagreements → report and resolve |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report contains Cohen's kappa score |
||||
- Disagreements are documented and resolved |
||||
|
||||
### U6. Predictive Modeling |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Build a predictive model for centrist support using motion features. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (party differentiation), U3 (voting margin) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/predictive_model.py` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/predictive_model.md` |
||||
- Output: `reports/overton_window/predictive_model_figure.png` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Features: category, stijl_extremiteit, materiele_impact, submitter_party, mechanism, text_length, keyword_count |
||||
- Target: centrist_support (binary: >0.5 = high, <=0.5 = low) |
||||
- Models: logistic regression (interpretable), random forest (accuracy) |
||||
- Evaluate: accuracy, precision, recall, AUC-ROC |
||||
- Feature importance: which features best predict centrist support? |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/extremity_rescore_2d.py` — batch processing patterns |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Model achieves AUC-ROC > 0.7 |
||||
- Edge case: Missing features → impute with median/mode |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Report contains model performance metrics and feature importance |
||||
- Figure shows ROC curve and feature importance plot |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **No database changes:** All analysis uses existing tables |
||||
- **No UI changes:** All outputs are markdown reports and PNG figures |
||||
- **No agent_tools changes:** Analysis scripts are standalone |
||||
- **Reproducibility:** All scripts are deterministic given the same database state |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| Party differentiation may show PVV dominates everything | Report per-party sample sizes; exclude parties with <10 motions | |
||||
| Coalition coding fix may not change findings | Report both codings and compare | |
||||
| Voting margin may be correlated with pass rate | Compute correlation; if r>0.95, margin adds no value | |
||||
| SVD trajectory may be too cluttered | Use separate panels for centrist and right-wing | |
||||
| Mechanism validation may show low agreement | Report kappa; if <0.6, revise taxonomy | |
||||
| Predictive model may overfit | Use cross-validation; report train/test split | |

The Overton window analysis is Stemwijzer's most ambitious analytical output — a multi-indicator answer to "Has the Dutch Overton window shifted?" built on top of the platform's SVD compass, voting records, and 2D extremity scoring. But it landed as 17 fragmented reports with no narrative spine, no connection to the live Explorer dashboards that visualize the same dynamics, and stale public-facing artifacts. This plan weaves the Overton findings into a coherent story (Quarto article + cleaned reports + Explorer integration) while positioning it as a showcase for what the Stemwijzer platform can do — not as a standalone project. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
Stemwijzer is a Dutch parliamentary analysis platform with three tracks: data pipeline reliability, analytical depth, and agent-native architecture (see `STRATEGY.md`). The Overton window analysis is a flagship deliverable of track 2 — it demonstrates the platform's SVD compass, voting data, and LLM scoring capabilities in service of a real political science question. |
||||
|
||||
But the Overton output landed fragmented: 17 files across `reports/overton_window/` with no reading order, no cross-references, and no connection to the live Explorer dashboards (Kompas, Trajectories, SVD Components) that directly visualize the same dynamics. The blog post uses stale 1D data and the wrong centrist definition. The analysis scripts work but there's no single entry point for a reader or a user. |
||||
|
||||
This plan organizes the Overton findings into a coherent multi-surface narrative while ensuring it serves the broader platform — the Explorer integration and Quarto article should make users want to explore the Stemwijzer compass, not just read about Overton findings. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. A single Quarto article (`overton_window.qmd`) serves as the narrative spine — telling the story from question ("Has the Overton window shifted?") to answer ("Acceptance through moderation"), with embedded interactive Plotly charts |
||||
- R2. All public-facing outputs use the strict 4-party centrist definition (D66, CDA, CU, NSC) |
||||
- R3. The Overton narrative drives traffic TO the live Stemwijzer Explorer — readers should finish the article wanting to explore the compass themselves. The 3 live Explorer dashboards connect to the Overton narrative through explanatory text and a dedicated Overton tab |
||||
- R4. Stale/drifted reports are removed or explicitly archived |
||||
- R5. All remaining reports cross-reference each other consistently |
||||
- R6. A `build_all_reports.py` script regenerates all outputs in dependency order |
||||
- R7. The blog post is replaced with a current-data version |
||||
- R8. The Overton narrative showcases Stemwijzer's platform capabilities (SVD compass, voting data, 2D scoring) — it should read as both a political science finding AND a demonstration of what the tool can do |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- No new analytical findings — this is about organization, narrative, and presentation |
||||
- No backend infrastructure changes (the Streamlit app already works) |
||||
- No European comparative analysis (deferred) |
||||
- No mechanism taxonomy revision (deferred) |
||||
- No forward-looking scenario analysis (deferred) |
||||
- Install Quarto CLI as a new tool dependency |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Follow-Up Work |
||||
|
||||
- European comparison (AfD, Meloni, Le Pen, Sweden Democrats) |
||||
- Mechanism taxonomy revision (κ=0.41) |
||||
- Forward-looking scenario analysis (permanent vs temporary shift) |
||||
- Anti-institutional pivot deep-dive (abolition → contestation) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Context & Research |
||||
|
||||
### Relevant Code and Patterns |
||||
|
||||
- `analysis/right_wing/` — 19+ analysis scripts that generate the reports |
||||
- `analysis/explorer_data.py` — data layer feeding the Streamlit Explorer |
||||
- `analysis/tabs/` — Streamlit tab modules (compass, trajectories, components, browser, search) |
||||
- `explorer.py` — Explorer orchestration, currently registers 3 tabs |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/` — 17 output files (14 MD, 2 HTML, 1 synthesis) |
||||
- `.opencode/skills/score-extremity/SKILL.md` — 2D scoring methodology |
||||
|
||||
### Institutional Learnings |
||||
|
||||
- `docs/solutions/best-practices/overton-window-shift-methodology-2026-05-24.md` — 7-step methodology |
||||
- `docs/solutions/best-practices/overton-narrative-architecture-2026-06-06.md` — narrative structure guidance (just created) |
||||
- `docs/solutions/best-practices/domain-decomposition-hidden-overton-variance-2026-05-25.md` |
||||
- `AGENTS.md` — strict 4-party centrist definition, SVD sign convention, right-wing on RIGHT |
||||
|
||||
### External References |
||||
|
||||
- Quarto: `quarto.org/docs/get-started/` — standalone CLI, Jupyter engine for Python/Plotly |
||||
- Plotly 6.6.0 already installed |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Quarto Jupyter engine** over static HTML: Interactive Plotly charts survive in the output, readers can hover/zoom/filter. Same dependency (plotly) already in pyproject.toml. |
||||
- **Strict 4-party centrist definition** enforced across all public outputs: D66, CDA, CU, NSC only. The 6-party definition (adding VVD, BBB) survives only in the breakpoint_analysis.md appendix for comparison. |
||||
- **Three-tier output structure**: Narrative spine (Quarto) → Detailed appendices (Markdown in reports/overton_window/) → Live exploration (Streamlit Explorer tab) |
||||
- **Remove, don't accumulate**: findings_report.md removed. blog_post.html replaced. Duplicate section content between reports consolidated. |
||||
- **Master build script** as single-source-of-truth for reproducibility: `analysis/right_wing/build_all_reports.py` runs scripts in dependency order. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
- U1. **Clean up stale and drifted reports** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Remove superseded artifacts, fix inconsistent content, archive early-draft reports. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Remove: `reports/overton_window/findings_report.md` |
||||
- Remove: `reports/overton_window/blog_post.html` |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/overton_window_synthesis.md` (fix hashline formatting corruption at top) |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/breakpoint_analysis.md` (add note at top linking to synthesis as primary narrative) |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/overton_report.html` (switch to strict 4-party centrist definition from current 6-party) |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Remove findings_report.md — fully superseded by synthesis |
||||
- Remove blog_post.html — will be recreated as Quarto output (U3) |
||||
- Fix hashline corruption in synthesis (duplicate `#HL` header lines) |
||||
- Add cross-reference header to each remaining report: "See also: [overton_window_synthesis.md](...)" with one-sentence relationship |
||||
- Switch overton_report.html centrist definition from 6-party (VVD/D66/CDA/NSC/BBB/CU) to strict 4-party (D66/CDA/CU/NSC) |
||||
|
||||
**Test expectation:** none — editorial/content changes, no behavioral change |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- findings_report.md and blog_post.html removed |
||||
- synthesis hashline headers cleaned up |
||||
- All remaining reports contain cross-reference to synthesis |
||||
- overton_report.html uses 4-party centrist numbers |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U2. **Create the Quarto narrative spine** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Write `reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` — a single self-contained article with embedded interactive Plotly charts that tells the Overton story from question to answer, while showcasing Stemwijzer's platform capabilities. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R8 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (cleanup), external prerequisite: Quarto CLI installed |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` |
||||
- Create: `reports/overton_window/_quarto.yml` (project config) |
||||
- Modify: `pyproject.toml` (add quarto render script if needed) |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- 9-section narrative arc: |
||||
1. **Introduction** — The question, why it matters, Dutch political context (PVV election 2023) |
||||
2. **About Stemwijzer** — Brief platform introduction: what it is (data-driven political compass from real voting records), how it works (SVD on 29K+ motions), what readers can do with it. This positions the article as both a finding and a platform demo. |
||||
3. **Methodology** — Right-wing motion classification, 2D extremity scoring, strict centrist definition, data sources |
||||
4. **Indicator 1: Centrist Voting** — Breakpoint at 2024, opposition-controlled, gravity-stratified |
||||
5. **Indicator 2: Spatial Divergence** — SVD compass drift, acceptance without conversion |
||||
6. **Indicator 3: Content Moderation** — 2D extremity trajectories, all-motion comparison |
||||
7. **Mechanisms** — Consensus framing, institutional appeals, JA21 as driver |
||||
8. **Temporal Dynamics** — Electoral jump, 2024-Q4 peak, 2026 reversion signal |
||||
9. **Verdict: Acceptance Through Moderation** — What it means, limitations, open questions, call-to-action to explore the live compass |
||||
- Embedded Plotly charts (not static PNGs): |
||||
- Yearly centrist_support_strict with CI bands + opposition-only overlay |
||||
- Gravity-controlled bar chart (M1-M5 centrist support) |
||||
- SVD trajectory plot (centrist vs right-wing center) |
||||
- 2D extremity temporal with all-motion reference lines |
||||
- Mechanism classification bar chart |
||||
- Quarterly temporal trajectory |
||||
- Use `plotly.graph_objects` for chart construction (consistent with existing analysis scripts) |
||||
- YAML header with `jupyter: python3` engine, `embed-resources: true` |
||||
- Reference back to Explorer dashboard: "Explore this data live at [localhost:8501](http://localhost:8501), Explorer > Kompas" |
||||
|
||||
**Execution note:** Write the QMD content before setting up Quarto — the charts can initially be embedded as static PNGs and upgraded to interactive Plotly in a second pass. |
||||
|
||||
**Test expectation:** none — content/documentation |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `quarto render overton_window.qmd` produces valid HTML |
||||
- All 9 sections present with embedded charts |
||||
- Section 2 introduces Stemwijzer as a platform (not just the Overton analysis) |
||||
- Uses strict 4-party centrist definition throughout |
||||
- References the live Explorer dashboard |
||||
- References the detailed appendices for methodology deep-dives |
||||
- Final section includes a call-to-action to explore the Stemwijzer compass |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U3. **Wire Explorer with an Overton context panel** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Add explanatory Overton context to the existing Explorer tabs so readers of the narrative can drill into the live data, AND ensure the Overton tab drives engagement with the broader Stemwijzer platform (compass quiz, SVD exploration). |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R3, R8 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U2 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/tabs/compass.py` (add Overton context expander in the sidebar or below the chart) |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/tabs/trajectories.py` (add Overton annotation showing 2024 breakpoint) |
||||
- Create: `analysis/tabs/overton.py` (new tab module — motion browser filtered to right-wing, centrist support trends) |
||||
- Modify: `analysis/tabs/__init__.py` (register overton tab) |
||||
- Modify: `explorer.py` (wire the tab into `run_app()`) |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Add a collapsible "Overton Window Context" expander to the Kompas tab sidebar explaining what the axes show relative to the Overton analysis, with a link to the Quarto narrative. Include a "Try the Stemwijzer quiz" call-to-action linking to the quiz page. |
||||
- In the Trajectories tab, add a vertical reference line at 2024 with an annotation referencing the breakpoint finding |
||||
- Create a lightweight "Overton" tab that shows: |
||||
- Yearly centrist_support_strict trend line (from right_wing_motions) |
||||
- Right-wing motion count by year |
||||
- Filterable right-wing motion browser (reusing `browser.py` with a WHERE classified=TRUE filter) |
||||
- Summary statistics matching the narrative |
||||
- "Explore further" section linking to Kompas (see party positions), Trajectories (see drift), and SVD Components (see which motions drive the axes) |
||||
- The Overton tab should make users curious about the underlying data — not present a closed story but an open exploration |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Opening Explorer > Overton tab loads centrist support chart and motion browser |
||||
- Happy path: Kompas tab shows the Overton context expander |
||||
- Happy path: Trajectories tab shows the 2024 breakpoint annotation |
||||
- Edge case: No right-wing motions in database — empty state message |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `streamlit run Home.py` shows 4 Explorer tabs (Kompas, Trajectories, SVD Components, Overton) |
||||
- Overton tab shows centrist_support_strict trend line |
||||
- Kompas sidebar has Overton context expander |
||||
- Trajectories tab has 2024 reference line |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U4. **Build master report regeneration script** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Single script that regenerates all Overton reports in correct dependency order. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R6 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (cleanup ensures scripts are consistent) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Create: `analysis/right_wing/build_all_reports.py` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Phase 1: Database-dependent scripts (no LLM calls): |
||||
- `overton_breakpoint_analysis.py` |
||||
- `temporal_trajectory.py` |
||||
- `causal_timing.py` |
||||
- `party_differentiation.py` |
||||
- `voting_margin.py` |
||||
- `left_wing_response.py` |
||||
- `success_correlation.py` |
||||
- `overton_svd_drift.py` |
||||
- `svd_trajectory_viz.py` |
||||
- Phase 2: 2D extremity-dependent scripts (no LLM calls): |
||||
- `extremity_2d_temporal.py` |
||||
- `predictive_model.py` |
||||
- `mechanism_classification.py` |
||||
- Phase 3: LLM-dependent scripts (optional, skip with --skip-llm): |
||||
- `derive_categories.py` |
||||
- `mechanism_classification.py` (LLM classification pass) |
||||
- Phase 4: Synthesis updates (manual, prints reminder) |
||||
- CLI: `uv run python analysis/right_wing/build_all_reports.py [--skip-llm]` |
||||
- Runs each script via `subprocess.run`, checks exit code, logs output paths |
||||
- Verifies all expected output files exist after each phase |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- Happy path: Running with skip-llm regenerates all DB-dependent reports |
||||
- Happy path: All expected output files exist after completion |
||||
- Error path: A sub-script fails — build_all_reports reports which script failed and its stderr |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `uv run python analysis/right_wing/build_all_reports.py --skip-llm` exits 0 |
||||
- All reports in `reports/overton_window/` have fresh timestamps |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U5. **Document and cross-reference everything** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Update README, add reading guide, final compound. Position the Overton analysis within the broader Stemwijzer platform. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1, U2, U3 |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `README.md` |
||||
- Modify: `AGENTS.md` |
||||
- Create: `reports/overton_window/README.md` (reading guide) |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- README: Add Quarto article link under a new "Research" section. Reorganize Documentation section to list Overton reports in reading order. Ensure the Overton work is presented as one of Stemwijzer's analytical outputs, not the project's sole purpose. The README should still lead with the platform (voting compass, explorer) and present Overton as a showcase of what the data enables. |
||||
- AGENTS.md: No changes needed (already has Overton conventions) — verify |
||||
- Create `reports/overton_window/README.md` as the directory-level reading guide: |
||||
- First: `overton_window.qmd` (narrative spine) |
||||
- Then: `overton_window_synthesis.md` (detailed synthesis) |
||||
- Then: individual appendices with one-sentence descriptions |
||||
- Also: "Explore live at: Streamlit Explorer > Overton tab" |
||||
- Mark deprecated: "Historical artifacts: blog_post.html (replaced by Quarto), findings_report.md (removed)" |
||||
|
||||
**Test expectation:** none — documentation changes |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `reports/overton_window/README.md` lists all reports in reading order |
||||
- README.md references the Quarto article and reading guide |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **Interaction graph:** Streamlit Explorer (`explorer.py`, `analysis/tabs/__init__.py`) gains a new tab module. Existing compass/trajectories tabs get minor additions (expander, annotation). No changes to data pipeline, database, or API client. |
||||
- **Unchanged invariants:** All existing analysis scripts and tests continue to work. The Streamlit app's existing 3 tabs remain functional and unbroken. The Stemwijzer quiz page is untouched. |
||||
- **Platform alignment (STRATEGY.md):** |
||||
- Track 1 (Pipeline reliability): U4 master build script improves reproducibility. No pipeline changes. |
||||
- Track 2 (Analytical depth): This plan IS the track 2 showcase — organizing the deepest analysis the platform has produced into a coherent, explorable narrative. |
||||
- Track 3 (Agent-native): The Overton tab uses `agent_tools`-compatible data tables. The `build_all_reports.py` script makes the analysis reproducible by agents. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Documentation / Operational Notes |
||||
|
||||
- The Quarto article should be the primary public-facing artifact. It replaces `blog_post.html` and `findings_report.md`. |
||||
- The Overton analysis is positioned as a Stemwijzer platform showcase — readers should finish the article understanding both the political finding AND what the tool can do. |
||||
- The live Explorer is the "next step" for engaged readers — the Quarto article and Overton tab both link to it. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| Quarto CLI not available — user needs to install | Check availability early; if not, static HTML with embedded Plotly as fallback | |
||||
| Explorer tab slows down Streamlit load | Lightweight tab — only queries right_wing_motions and extremity_scores_2d, no SVD computation | |
||||
| Blog post Regeneration diverges from Quarto narrative | Make Quarto the single source — blog post is rendered from same QMD with different styling | |

# feat: Category domain decomposition for Overton report |
||||
|
||||
## Summary |
||||
|
||||
Add 3 new Plotly charts and a narrative section to `reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` that decompose the Overton shift by policy category (asiel/vreemdelingen, landbouw/natuur, energie/klimaat, etc.), making visible which domains drove the shift, which resisted it, and how each category's centrist support evolved over time. The yearly CS chart gains category filtering via Plotly dropdown menu. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Problem Frame |
||||
|
||||
The current Overton report treats all right-wing motions as a single aggregate. The synthesis mentions migration vs non-migration, but with 10 categories now populated across all 3,030 motions, we can show a richer picture: energie/klimaat had the second-largest CS surge (+0.107), landbouw/natuur actually declined (−0.063), and onderwijs/wetenschap barely moved (+0.053) despite being the highest-consensus domain. These stories are invisible in the current charts. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Requirements |
||||
|
||||
- R1. Add a horizontal bar chart showing pre/post centrist support delta per category, sorted by magnitude |
||||
- R2. Add category filtering to the yearly CS timeline (Chart 1) via Plotly dropdown menu, so users can view a single category or "All right-wing" |
||||
- R3. Add domain trajectories to the quarterly chart showing 4-5 key categories as separate lines |
||||
- R4. Add a "Domain Decomposition" narrative section with the category delta table and interpretive prose |
||||
- R5. All new charts must use the existing Plotly styling conventions (colors, template, height) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Scope Boundaries |
||||
|
||||
- No changes to the synthesis markdown or other analysis scripts |
||||
- No changes to the DB or data pipeline |
||||
- No interactive filtering beyond Plotly's built-in updatemenu (no Streamlit/JS) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key Technical Decisions |
||||
|
||||
- **Plotly updatemenu for filtering:** Uses Plotly's built-in `updatemenus` with `buttons` to toggle between "All right-wing" (current line) and individual categories. No external JS or Dash needed. |
||||
- **Color scheme for categories:** Use a qualitative 10-color palette (Plotly `alphabet` or `set2`), not PARTY_COLOURS, to avoid confusion with party lines. |
||||
- **New chart cells inserted after existing Chart 1:** Category delta bar chart goes after the yearly CS chart (Chart 1) and its narrative. Domain trajectories go in the quarterly section (Chart 6). A new "Domain Decomposition" section links them. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Open Questions |
||||
|
||||
### Resolved During Planning |
||||
|
||||
- **Standalone HTML filtering:** Plotly updatemenu works in standalone HTML (confirmed via existing usage in the repo — the Overton report is a standalone HTML file with embedded Plotly). |
||||
|
||||
### Deferred to Implementation |
||||
|
||||
- **Whether to show all 10 categories or a curated subset:** The quarterly trajectories chart should show at most 5-6 lines to avoid visual clutter. The delta bar chart can show all 10. |
||||
- **Exact Plotly color assignment to each category:** Will match categories to a qualitative palette at implementation time. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Units |
||||
|
||||
- U1. **[Add category delta bar chart and dropdown-filtered yearly CS]** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Two linked chart additions: (1) a category delta horizontal bar chart, (2) convert Chart 1's yearly CS line chart to support category filtering via Plotly updatemenu. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R1, R2, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** None |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Compute yearly CS per category via SQL: `SELECT year, category, AVG(centrist_support_strict) as cs, COUNT(*) as n FROM right_wing_motions WHERE classified = TRUE GROUP BY year, category` |
||||
- For the delta chart (new cell): compute pre/post CS per category, then use a horizontal bar (go.Bar with orientation='h'), sorted by delta descending. Color bars: green for positive delta, red for negative. |
||||
- For Chart 1 modification: extend the existing yearly SQL to GROUP BY year, category. In Python, pivot to get per-category columns. Create a go.Figure with all categories as traces plus an aggregate "All right-wing" trace. Add an updatemenu dropdown with buttons: "All right-wing" (restores all visible with only the aggregate line shown) and each category name (shows only that category's trace). |
||||
- Keep the existing pre/post mean lines and the break-year vertical line intact. The dropdown only controls which category trace is visible. |
||||
- Use a 10-color qualitative palette from plotly.express.colors.qualitative. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- Existing Chart 1 for SQL pattern, figure layout, annotation style |
||||
- Existing Chart 6 for quarterly trajectory styling |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- N/A — this is a Quarto document rendering change. Verify by rendering the QMD and checking that (a) the delta chart shows all 10 categories, (b) the dropdown in Chart 1 cycles through categories correctly, (c) pre/post mean lines remain visible in all views. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||

|
||||
- U2. **[Add domain trajectories to quarterly chart]** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Enhance the existing quarterly chart (Chart 6) by overlaying 4-5 key category lines alongside the aggregate. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R3, R5 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (the SQL for per-category yearly CS shares the same data approach; the quarterly chart needs its own SQL) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Select 5 categories to show as individual lines: asiel/vreemdelingen, energie/klimaat, buitenland/europa, landbouw/natuur, economie. These are the categories with largest deltas, largest volumes, or most story value. |
||||
- Compute quarterly CS per category: `SELECT EXTRACT(YEAR FROM m.date) AS y, CEIL(EXTRACT(MONTH FROM m.date) / 3.0) AS q, r.category, AVG(r.centrist_support_strict) AS cs, COUNT(*) AS n FROM right_wing_motions r JOIN motions m ON r.motion_id = m.id WHERE r.classified = TRUE AND m.date IS NOT NULL AND r.category IN (...) GROUP BY y, q, r.category` |
||||
- Add each category as a separate go.Scatter trace with distinct colors and dashed lines (to distinguish from the aggregate solid line). |
||||
- Keep the existing aggregate line in solid bold. Use the same inflection/peak annotations. |
||||
- Add a legend entry for each category. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- Existing Chart 6 for quarterly SQL, figure layout, inflection/peak annotations |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- N/A — verify by rendering and checking that 5 category traces appear with distinct colors and dashed styles alongside the aggregate. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- `uv run quarto render reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` succeeds |
||||
- The quarterly chart shows 5 category lines with a legend |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
- U3. **[Add Domain Decomposition narrative section]** |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Add a heading-2 section "Domain Decomposition" between Indicator 1 and Indicator 2, with a markdown table of category deltas and 2-3 paragraphs of interpretive prose. |
||||
|
||||
**Requirements:** R4 |
||||
|
||||
**Dependencies:** U1 (the delta data is used; the table can be hardcoded from the pre-computed values or computed via inline SQL) |
||||
|
||||
**Files:** |
||||
- Modify: `reports/overton_window/overton_window.qmd` |
||||
|
||||
**Approach:** |
||||
- Insert the section after the existing Indicator 1 narrative text and before the "## Indicator 2: Spatial Divergence" heading. |
||||
- Include a markdown table with columns: Category, Pre-2024 CS, Post-2024 CS, Delta, Volume, Extremity gap (M−S). Use the known data from the DB queries. |
||||
- Write 3 paragraphs: |
||||
1. Overview: which categories drove the shift (migration, energy, foreign affairs) and which resisted (agriculture, healthcare, infrastructure). |
||||
2. The polarization paradox: landbouw/natuur and zorg/gezondheid as domains where centrist support declined despite content moderation. |
||||
3. The consensus domains: onderwijs/wetenschap and economie as stable high-CS categories where the window didn't need to shift. |
||||
- Reference the category delta chart (U1) and domain trajectories chart (U2) by their cell labels. |
||||
|
||||
**Patterns to follow:** |
||||
- Existing prose style in Indicator 1 and Indicator 2 sections |
||||
|
||||
**Test scenarios:** |
||||
- N/A — prose section. Review for factual accuracy against the DB data. |
||||
|
||||
**Verification:** |
||||
- Section renders in the HTML output with correct numbers and coherent prose |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## System-Wide Impact |
||||
|
||||
- **Interaction graph:** The QMD is the only file. No analysis scripts, DB schemas, or other artifacts are affected. |
||||
- **Unchanged invariants:** All existing charts, narrative sections, and data remain intact. New cells are added after existing ones, and the new section is inserted between existing sections. |
||||

## Risks & Dependencies |
||||
|
||||
| Risk | Mitigation | |
||||
|------|------------| |
||||
| Plotly updatemenu may not fully render in Quarto HTML output | Test with a minimal prototype in an isolated QMD cell first; fallback is a faceted chart showing all categories as subplots | |
||||
| 5 category lines on the quarterly chart may be visually noisy | Use dashed lines for category traces and a solid bold line for aggregate. If too noisy, reduce to 3 categories | |

# Domain Decomposition Reveals Hidden Variance in Overton Window Analysis |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
Aggregate centrist support for right-wing motions surged post-2024 (d=+0.65). But the aggregate masked two distinct stories: one of strategic moderation (85% of motions, non-migration domains) and one of genuine acceptance expansion (15%, migration domain). Without domain decomposition, the analysis would incorrectly claim either "no shift" or "complete shift" when both processes occurred simultaneously. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
**Always decompose political shift analyses by policy domain before drawing conclusions.** The aggregate number answers a different question than each domain-specific signal. |
||||
|
||||
**What to check per domain:** |
||||
|
||||
1. **Volume change:** Did motion count increase or decrease? |
||||
2. **Material impact change:** Did the policy substance intensify or moderate? |
||||
3. **Centrist support change:** Did centrist parties accept more of these motions? |
||||
4. **MP-level disaggregation:** Which specific centrist parties drive the shift? |
||||
|
||||
**The migration exception (2024 Dutch parliament):** |
||||
- Material impact barely changed (3.26→3.13) |
||||
- Yet centrist support more than doubled (0.153→0.369) |
||||
- M=5 support went from 0.000 to 0.185 |
||||
- This is the one domain where acceptance genuinely expanded |
||||
|
||||
**All other domains (climate, nitrogen, economy, defense, etc.):** |
||||
- Material impact significantly declined (2.72→2.30) |
||||
- High-impact share collapsed (20.8%→8.0%) |
||||
- M=5 motions: pre-2024 "exit Paris accord" (CS=0.0), post-2024 "build nuclear plants" (CS=1.0) |
||||
- Strategic moderation explains the shift |
||||
|
||||
**Party-level disaggregation:** |
||||
- CDA and ChristenUnie (Christian-conservative centrists) more than doubled migration vote share |
||||
- D66 (secular-progressive) barely moved from single digits |
||||
- The shift is not "centrists" generally — it's a specific faction within the center |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
Without domain decomposition, an analyst would report "centrist support for right-wing motions increased" and either: (a) claim the Overton window shifted right (wrong — 85% of motions show content moderation, not acceptance expansion), or (b) claim the Overton window didn't shift (wrong — migration is the 15% where it demonstrably did). Domain decomposition prevents both errors and reveals the more honest picture: strategic moderation was the dominant mechanism, with migration as the sole measurable exception. |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- Before drawing conclusions from aggregate voting trend data |
||||
- When policy domains have different baseline extremity levels (migration already had M=5 motions; climate gained them post-Ukraine energy crisis) |
||||
- When centrist parties are ideologically heterogeneous (Christian-democrats ≠ progressive-liberals) |
||||
- When the target audience is academic or policy-oriented and will spot domain conflation |
||||
|
||||
## Examples |
||||
|
||||
**Bad:** "Centrist support for right-wing motions surged from 0.25 to 0.51 — the Overton window shifted." |
||||
|
||||
**Good:** "Centrist support for right-wing motions surged from 0.25 to 0.51. Domain decomposition reveals two mechanisms: strategic moderation across 85% of motions (content became milder, centrists rewarded moderation), and genuine acceptance expansion in the migration domain (content impact stable, centrist support doubled)." |

# Large-scale subagent-based 2D extremity scoring |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
After scoring 117 right-wing motions with 2D extremity (stijl-extremiteit + materiele impact) using deepseek v4 flash subagents, we needed to scale to all 29,570 motions in the database. The existing OpenRouter-based batch pipeline (`chat_completion_json_parallel`) would be too expensive and slow at this scale. Subagent dispatch via the `task` tool was the alternative. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Batch file generation |
||||
|
||||
Generate fixed-size batch files (20 motions each) containing filled prompt templates with all motion context upfront. This avoids repeated DB queries per subagent: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
for i, chunk in enumerate(chunks): |
||||
batch_content = "" |
||||
for motion in chunk: |
||||
batch_content += f"MOTION_ID: {motion['id']}\n{prompt_template.format(...)}\n\n" |
||||
write(f"/tmp/all_batch_{i:04d}.txt", batch_content) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Always write exact motion IDs in each batch file so results can be matched back without ambiguity. |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Politically neutral prompt |
||||
|
||||
When scoring motions across the full political spectrum (not just right-wing), adjust the material impact scale to be politically symmetric: |
||||
|
||||
- Scale point 5 should describe "fundamentele herstructurering van rechten, instituties of economische systemen" — not only right-wing actions like "inperking van rechten" |
||||
- Include examples from both left and right: high-impact left motions (nationalization, wealth taxes, climate mandates) and right motions (asylum cessation, EU exit) should both reach the top of the scale |
||||
|
||||
The SKILL.md file is read at runtime via `load_skill()`, so prompt changes take effect immediately without code changes. |
||||
|
||||
### 3. Subagent dispatch pattern |
||||
|
||||
Dispatch subagents in parallel waves of 5-8, each handling 5 batch files (100 motions): |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
For each wave of 5-8 subagents (in parallel): |
||||
For each subagent (handling 5 batch files): |
||||
task(score-extremity skill, "Score these motions: {batch_content}") |
||||
Wait for all to complete |
||||
Collect results from /tmp/all_result_*.json |
||||
Validate and store to DB incrementally |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Key: store results to DB after each wave, not after all waves. /tmp files can be cleaned up by the system, and subagent timeouts can lose data. |
||||
|
||||
### 4. Anti-scripting guard |
||||
|
||||
Subagents sometimes write Python scripts to batch-score motions instead of scoring directly in their reasoning. Add explicit instructions: |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
IMPORTANT: Do NOT write Python scripts to score these motions. Score them |
||||
directly in your reasoning, returning the JSON array. Do not use code |
||||
to automate this — your reasoning and judgment IS the scoring mechanism. |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
### 5. Incremental storage |
||||
|
||||
Use `INSERT OR REPLACE` for idempotent writes: |
||||
|
||||
```sql |
||||
INSERT OR REPLACE INTO extremity_scores_all |
||||
(motion_id, stijl_extremiteit, stijl_toelichting, materiele_impact, materiele_toelichting) |
||||
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This allows re-running waves without duplicate errors and makes the pipeline resumable. |
||||
|
||||
### 6. Handling placeholder motions |
||||
|
||||
Many motions in the database have only an outcome label ("Aangenomen." / "Verworpen.") with no text or layman explanation. These should be scored (1, 1) and the scoring subagent should detect and report this. Do not try to infer scores from metadata like controversy scores — this defeats the purpose of LLM-based scoring. |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
- **Cost**: Subagent-based scoring via deepseek v4 flash is ~$2-3 for 30K motions vs. $50-100+ via OpenRouter API at comparable scale |
||||
- **Resumability**: Wave-by-wave DB storage means a timeout or crash loses at most one wave (~400-500 motions) |
||||
- **Prompt agility**: SKILL.md changes propagate immediately to the next wave — no pipeline restart needed |
||||
- **Independence**: Style and material impact dimensions maintain moderate correlation (r ≈ 0.43) even at scale, confirming they capture separable signals |
||||
|
||||
## Examples |
||||
|
||||
**Failed approach**: single monolithic subagent scoring all 30K motions. Times out, loses all progress. |
||||
|
||||
**Working approach**: 1,184 batch files, ~80 waves of 5-8 subagents each, DB stored after each wave. 3-day pipeline, resumable, $3 total cost. |

# Motion category classification via parallel subagent pipeline |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
The `right_wing_motions` table in `data/motions.db` had a `category` column that was 100% NULL across 3,030 classified motions — blocking downstream Overton analysis that splits centrist support by policy domain. The existing `derive_categories.py` script used OpenRouter's `chat_completion_json_parallel` to classify motions in sequential batches, but consistently timed out after 10 minutes without classifying anything at scale. A different approach was needed. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Derive taxonomy from a sample first |
||||
|
||||
Have a sub-agent read a random sample (e.g., 60 motions) and infer natural categories from the data. This produces categories grounded in the actual motion content rather than a preconceived list: |
||||
|
||||
- The sample ensures categories reflect real distribution (migration-heavy, stikstof-driven, etc.) |
||||
- The sub-agent returns a concise taxonomy with descriptions for each category |
||||
- Include a catch-all "overig" category for edge cases |
||||
|
||||
For this project the taxonomy yielded 10 categories: asiel/vreemdelingen, landbouw/natuur, veiligheid/justitie, zorg/gezondheid, economie, energie/klimaat, buitenland/europa, onderwijs/wetenschap, verkeer/infrastructuur, overig. |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Chunk data into independent batches |
||||
|
||||
Dump motions from the DB to JSON, then split into small chunks (~38 motions each) that fit comfortably within a single sub-agent's context window. Each chunk is a standalone JSON file containing motion_id, title, and body_text. |
||||
|
||||
### 3. Dispatch parallel classification sub-agents |
||||
|
||||
Spawn one sub-agent per chunk simultaneously (up to 80 in this case). Each receives: |
||||
- The chunk of motions to classify |
||||
- The taxonomy with category descriptions |
||||
- A strict JSON output format: `[{"motion_id": ..., "category": ..., "category_explanation": ...}]` |
||||
- An instruction to read both title and body_text before deciding on a category |
||||
|
||||
All 80 agents run in parallel, finishing in minutes rather than hours. |
||||
|
||||
### 4. Merge results and update the database |
||||
|
||||
Collect all result files. Validate each for correct structure (some may use non-standard key names). Then update the DB: |
||||
|
||||
```sql |
||||
UPDATE right_wing_motions |
||||
SET category = ?, category_explanation = ? |
||||
WHERE motion_id = ? |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Verify by counting non-NULL rows. |
||||
|
||||
### 5. Integrate into downstream analysis |
||||
|
||||
Once the category column is populated, update analysis scripts and charts to use it. For the Overton QMD report this meant: |
||||
- A Plotly dropdown filter on the main centrist support chart to toggle between categories |
||||
- A category delta bar chart showing pre/post centrist support change per domain |
||||
- Quarterly domain trajectory charts for the 5 largest categories |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
- **Speed**: 80 parallel agents classified 3,030 motions in minutes vs. a sequential script that never finished at all |
||||
- **Simplicity**: No timeout handling, retry logic, or batch management needed — each agent is a fire-and-forget independent unit |
||||
- **Quality**: Classification is grounded in reasoning (reading title + full text), not keyword matching or vector similarity |
||||
- **Discoverability**: The derived taxonomy (10 categories) emerges naturally from the data rather than being imposed upfront |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- You have thousands of items needing per-item LLM processing |
||||
- Each item is independently classifiable |
||||
- The task fits in a sub-agent's context window when batched at ~30-50 items |
||||
- Parallel dispatch infrastructure is available (e.g., the `task` tool) |
||||
|
||||
## Examples |
||||
|
||||
The pipeline was applied to 3,030 Dutch right-wing motions. The taxonomy was derived from a 60-motion sample by a single sub-agent, then 80 parallel sub-agents classified ~38 motions each. Final distribution was: landbouw/natuur 487, economie 470, asiel/vreemdelingen 423, buitenland/europa 386, veiligheid/justitie 359, zorg/gezondheid 348, energie/klimaat 174, overig 159, verkeer/infrastructuur 138, onderwijs/wetenschap 86. |
||||
|
||||
Two chunks needed minor fixes (used `category_label` / `predicted_category` instead of `category`). A quick validation script caught these before the DB update. |

# Analytical Extensions for Overton Window Shift Analysis |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
The core methodology in `overton-window-shift-methodology-2026-05-24.md` established the 7-step framework (strict centrist definition, Procrustes-aligned SVD, centrist support fraction, opposition control, extremity stratification, 2D audit). These are prerequisites — this document covers extensions built on that foundation for richer, more defensible analysis. |
||||
|
||||
Domain decomposition (`domain-decomposition-overton-analysis.md`) must also be applied before interpretation to avoid conflating strategic moderation with genuine acceptance expansion. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Replace Binary Pass Rate with Voting Margin |
||||
|
||||
The Dutch Tweede Kamer passes 96%+ of motions. Pass rate is a structurally useless ceiling-capped metric. **Always compute `voting_margin` as the primary success metric** before drawing conclusions about motion effectiveness. |
||||
|
||||
**How to compute:** |
||||
``` |
||||
margin = (voor - tegen) / (voor + tegen + afwezig) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This produces a continuous [-1, +1] scale from unanimous rejection to unanimous support. A motion passing 14-1 (margin=+0.87) and one passing 8-7 (margin=+0.07) are both "passed" — the margin exposes the real signal. |
||||
|
||||
**Validation:** Correlate voting margin against centrist support. If Spearman ρ > 0.7, margin captures a meaningful success gradient that pass rate cannot. In the Dutch data, ρ=0.812. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/voting_margin.py` — reads `motions.voting_results` (per-party JSON), computes per-motion margin, produces quartile-stratified statistics, and computes pre/post Cohen's d. |
||||
|
||||
**Key design decision:** Per-party aggregation (1 party = 1 vote) rather than seat-weighted. This measures *breadth of cross-spectrum support* — exactly the Overton concept — without conflating coalition size effects. |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Coalition Coding Must Split 2024 at July 1 |
||||
|
||||
Treating all 2024 as the Schoof cabinet (PVV/VVD/NSC/BBB) overestimates the coalition effect. The year contains two governments: |
||||
|
||||
- **Jan–Jun 2024:** Rutte IV (VVD/D66/CDA/CU) — caretaker, limited legislative agenda |
||||
- **Jul–Dec 2024:** Schoof I (PVV/VVD/NSC/BBB) — right-wing coalition |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** When filtering opposition-only motions, use submission date (not year) against a date-aware coalition dictionary. Motions from Jan–Jun 2024 whose lead submitter is in the Rutte IV coalition must be filtered as government motions, not opposition. |
||||
|
||||
**Impact:** In the Dutch data, this reclassified 32 PVV/BBB motions from "opposition" to "government," correcting an artificial inflation of the opposition-only shift. Without this fix, the opposition-only Cohen's d overstates the shift by attributing coalition-party motions to opposition. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** Embedded in all opposition-filter scripts (`temporal_trajectory.py`, `causal_timing.py`, `predictive_model.py`) via `COALITION` dict. Scripts that only use year-level filtering contain a fragility note. |
||||
|
||||
### 3. Party Differentiation: Disaggregate Right-Wing Bloc |
||||
|
||||
Right-wing parties are not monolithic. Before attributing any Overton shift to "the right," disaggregate by party to identify the actual driver. |
||||
|
||||
**Required dimensions per party:** |
||||
- Volume (motion count) over time |
||||
- Centrist support over time |
||||
- Material impact over time |
||||
- Pre/post CS delta and volume delta |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** Parse submitter party from motion title prefixes using regex patterns matching Dutch motion conventions (e.g., `"Motie van het lid Wilders ..."`). Use `mp_metadata` table as authority for last-name-to-party mapping. Normalize party names via `_PARTY_NORMALIZE` (e.g., `Groep Markuszower → PVV`). |
||||
|
||||
**What to look for:** |
||||
- A party whose centrist support rose *without* filing more motions: not the driver |
||||
- A party whose volume rose *without* CS increase: also not the driver |
||||
- A party with both volume AND CS gains: the primary driver |
||||
- A party that entered government (reduced motions, milder content): follower, not leader |
||||
|
||||
**Surprising finding from Dutch data:** PVV (largest right-wing party) moderated significantly after entering government — *fewer, milder motions*. JA21 (smaller opposition party) was the primary driver of both volume and support gains. The aggregate "right-wing shift" narrative masks a succession story: PVV moderated, JA21 filled the vacated extreme space. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/party_differentiation.py` — parses submitter parties, builds yearly aggregates, produces 4-panel figure (volume × CS × material impact × pre/post bars). |
||||
|
||||
### 4. Left-Wing Response Analysis: Verify Asymmetry |
||||
|
||||
An Overton window shift is not symmetric. Rising centrist support for right-wing motions could theoretically be driven by left-wing parties hardening their opposition (making centrist support appear to rise relative to a higher denominator). Always verify the left-wing side by computing centrist support for *left-wing* motions. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Identify left-wing motions using the same submitter parsing approach |
||||
2. Compute centrist support for left motions pre/post |
||||
3. Compare Cohen's d for centrist → right shift vs centrist → left shift |
||||
4. Compute per-party left-wing softening scores (Δ in CS for each left party) |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation guard:** If the centrist shift toward right-wing motions is 10×+ larger than any left-wing hardening, the asymmetry confirms the shift is genuine centrist acceptance, not artifact of denominator change. If both sides shifted, investigate coalition mechanics. |
||||
|
||||
**Dutch finding:** Centrist shift toward right (d=+1.89) was 18.3× larger than left-wing hardening (d=−0.75). Left-wing opposition support barely moved (21.3%→20.2%). Volt was the only left party that softened (+12.9pp). This extreme asymmetry eliminates denominator artifacts as alternative explanations. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/left_wing_response.py` — loads motions with `CANONICAL_LEFT` submitter filtering, computes both centrist support and left-party support for right-wing motions, produces asymmetry figures. |
||||
|
||||
### 5. Mechanism Validation with Second Classifier |
||||
|
||||
LLM-based mechanism classifications are inherently subjective. Always validate inter-rater reliability before drawing conclusions from mechanism distributions. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Classify motion mechanism with primary classifier (inline subagent, reading full text) |
||||
2. Run independent second classifier with a **different** prompt: |
||||
- Use English wording (vs Dutch for original) |
||||
- Present mechanisms in **reversed** order |
||||
- Include explicit definitions for each mechanism |
||||
- Require strict JSON output with confidence scores |
||||
3. Compute Cohen's κ on overlapping classifications |
||||
4. For disagreements, prefer the classification with confidence ≥ 4, otherwise retain original |
||||
|
||||
**Agreement thresholds:** |
||||
- κ < 0.2: taxonomy is unusable, scrap and rebuild |
||||
- 0.2 ≤ κ < 0.4: taxonomy needs major revision |
||||
- 0.4 ≤ κ < 0.6: taxonomy needs targeted refinement (merge ambiguous pairs) |
||||
- κ ≥ 0.6: taxonomy is sufficiently reliable |
||||
|
||||
**When κ is moderate (0.4–0.6):** Analyze the disagreement pairs. In the Dutch data, the primary confusion was `institutional_rule_of_law ↔ targeted_restriction` — many motions addressing migration enforcement could be classified as either. This revealed a taxonomy ambiguity, not a classification failure: institutional and targeted mechanisms can coexist in the same motion. The fix is not to discard the taxonomy but to note this ambiguity and consider a multi-label classification approach for future iterations. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_validation.py` — runs second classifier via parallel LLM calls, computes κ, confusion matrix, resolves disagreements, generates validated distribution. |
||||
|
||||
### 6. Predictive Model: Feature Importance, Not Just Accuracy |
||||
|
||||
A predictive model's primary value in this domain is not prediction but feature importance — identifying which motion characteristics drive centrist acceptance. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Build features: submitter party (one-hot), category, 2D extremity scores, year, word count, sentiment, coalition membership |
||||
2. Target: high centrist support (CS > 0.5) as binary classification |
||||
3. Train logistic regression (interpretable coefficients) and random forest (captures non-linearities) |
||||
4. Run stratified 5-fold cross-validation with AUC-ROC as primary metric |
||||
5. Report top-10 feature importance rankings from both models |
||||
|
||||
**What models cannot do:** Predict individual motion outcomes in a new parliament. Coalition dynamics, the specific political moment, and the text of the motion interact in ways no tabular model captures. The models validate that the factors we *hypothesize* as important (party, extremity, category) are indeed predictive — this is methodological triangulation, not forecasting. |
||||
|
||||
**Dutch finding:** AUC-ROC=0.81 (logistic), 0.84 (RF). Top predictors: submitter party (FVD=−1.33 → hard to get support), SGP (+0.99 → easy), category (asylum/migration hardest), and `stijl_extremiteit` (higher stylistic extremity predicts lower support). These coefficients validate the analytical framework. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/predictive_model.py` — sklearn logistic regression + random forest, cross-validated, with SHAP-style coefficient interpretation. |
||||
|
||||
### 7. SVD Spatial Divergence: Center of Gravity Trajectories |
||||
|
||||
The core methodology established Procrustes-aligned SVD drift. The extension decomposes this into group-level center-of-gravity trajectories to measure *divergence*. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Compute Procrustes-aligned party coordinates per window (from core methodology) |
||||
2. For each window, compute the center of gravity for the centrist bloc and right-wing bloc as the component-wise mean |
||||
3. Plot both trajectories on the same axes, with year labels |
||||
4. Compute Euclidean distance between the two centers of gravity at each window |
||||
5. Test for trend: is the inter-bloc distance increasing? |
||||
|
||||
**What divergence means:** If centrists moved LEFT while right-wing stayed put or moved right, the distance between groups grew. This is acceptance without conversion — the Overton window widened without centrists converting to right-wing positions. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/svd_trajectory_viz.py` — two-panel figure showing individual party arrow trajectories and group center-of-gravity movement. |
||||
|
||||
### 8. Temporal Trajectory: Quarterly Granularity |
||||
|
||||
Binary pre/post analysis is too coarse to distinguish an electoral shock from a gradual trend. Always decompose into quarters. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Assign each motion to a quarter based on submission date |
||||
2. Compute quarterly mean centrist support, with 95% CI |
||||
3. Compute quarter-over-quarter Cohen's d to identify the largest single-step change |
||||
4. Run a breakpoint detection method (e.g., PELT or binary segmentation) to find structural changes |
||||
5. Annotate with known political events (elections, coalition changes, EU-level shifts) |
||||
|
||||
**What to look for:** |
||||
- Immediate jump: the shift was an electoral/political event, not a trend |
||||
- Gradual ramp: the shift was a cultural/social trend, harder to attribute to specific events |
||||
- Peak and revert: if support peaked and returned to baseline, the shift may be temporary |
||||
|
||||
**Dutch finding:** The shift was an immediate electoral jump (2023-Q4→2024-Q1: +0.18), suggesting the right-wing electoral victory, not a gradual normalization process. The peak at 2024-Q4 (0.648) followed by reversion to 0.334 by 2026-Q1 raises the possibility of a temporary "coalition honeymoon" rather than permanent shift. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/temporal_trajectory.py` — quarterly binning from submission dates, computes rolling statistics, CIs, and event annotations. `causal_timing.py` adds political event overlay and breakpoint detection. |
||||
|
||||
### 9. 2D Extremity Divergence: Separate Stylistic from Material |
||||
|
||||
Single-dimension extremity scores masked diverging trends. Always decompose into stylistic and material dimensions. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Use the two-dimensional rescoring pipeline from the core methodology to score both `stijl_extremiteit` and `materiele_impact` |
||||
2. Compute yearly means separately for each dimension |
||||
3. Test for divergence: are the two dimensions moving in opposite directions? |
||||
4. Compute paired Wilcoxon signed-rank test between pre and post periods for each dimension |
||||
5. If significant divergence is found, single-score trend analysis is structurally misleading |
||||
|
||||
**When to suspect divergence:** If the single-score trend is flat (d≈0) but the underlying dimensions are correlated with centrist support in opposite directions, the flat trend masks real change. A decrease in material impact (motions got substantively milder) can cancel out an increase in stylistic extremity (language got sharper), producing a misleading "no change" signal. |
||||
|
||||
**Dutch finding:** Material impact decreased (−0.146) while stylistic extremity increased (+0.097), with significant Wilcoxon (p=0.002). The single-score "flat trend" was an artifact of these cancelling directions. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/extremity_2d_temporal.py` — joins `extremity_scores_2d` with `right_wing_motions`, computes per-dimension yearly means, runs Wilcoxon, generates dual-axis time series figure. |
||||
|
||||
### 10. Mechanism Classification: Stratified Sampling with Chi-Squared |
||||
|
||||
When testing whether a specific mechanism (e.g., consensus framing) drives centrist support, use stratified sampling and formal hypothesis testing. |
||||
|
||||
**Method:** |
||||
1. Stratify the motion population into 2×2 buckets: period (pre/post) × support level (high/low CS) |
||||
2. Sample deterministically (fixed motion IDs) for reproducibility |
||||
3. Classify mechanism through manual/subagent review of full title + body text |
||||
4. Test H0: mechanism distribution is independent of support level (chi-squared contingency test) |
||||
5. Test H0: consensus framing is equally common in high-CS and low-CS post-2024 motions (2×2 Fisher/chi-squared) |
||||
|
||||
**Support threshold:** CS > 0.5 for "high" support. This threshold is arbitrary but produces clear separation between mechanisms that appeal broadly (consensus framing) vs those that polarize (targeted restriction, system dismantling). |
||||
|
||||
**When to reject the taxonomy:** If κ < 0.4 from independent validation, the mechanism labels themselves are unreliable and chi-squared results are misleading. In this case, report κ rather than mechanism findings. |
||||
|
||||
**Dutch finding:** Consensus framing accounts for 24% of high-CS post-2024 motions vs 8% of low-CS (significant). This validates the mechanism hypothesis even with moderate κ=0.41 — the signal survives the noise. |
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:** `analysis/right_wing/mechanism_classification.py` — deterministic sample of 200 motions, inline classifications, chi-squared tests, generated report. |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
Without these extensions, Overton window analysis produces results that are correct in direction but misleading in detail: |
||||
- Binary pass rate creates false nulls (no detectable change) |
||||
- Undifferentiated "right-wing" analysis misattributes effects to the wrong party |
||||
- Missing left-wing verification cannot rule out denominator artifacts |
||||
- Single-dimension extremity masks opposite trajectories in stylistic vs material content |
||||
- Missing mechanism validation overstates confidence in classification-based findings |
||||
- Annual aggregation cannot distinguish shock vs trend |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- When pass rate exceeds 90% and provides no signal (always in multi-party parliaments with high passage rates) |
||||
- When right-wing parties have heterogeneous trajectories — some entering government, some remaining in opposition |
||||
- When the analysis must rule out left-wing denominator effects as alternative explanations |
||||
- When LLM-scored extremity metrics are used as independent variables |
||||
- When mechanism classification forms part of the explanatory framework |
||||
- When temporal resolution matters: quarterly decomposition is necessary to distinguish electoral shock from gradual shift |
||||
- When 2D extremity data is available and single-score trends appear flat |

# Overton window analysis narrative architecture |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
The Overton window analysis produced 17 reports across `reports/overton_window/`, 3 live Streamlit Explorer dashboards, and a project-local scoring skill — but these pieces were built incrementally across sessions and never organized into a coherent narrative. The reports cross-reference each other inconsistently, overlap with dashboard data, and lack a clear reading order. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Three-tier narrative structure |
||||
|
||||
Organize analytical outputs into three tiers, each with a different audience and purpose: |
||||
|
||||
| Tier | Audience | Format | Content | |
||||
|------|----------|--------|---------| |
||||
| **Narrative spine** | Everyone | Quarto article (`.qmd`) | The coherent story: what happened, why, and what it means | |
||||
| **Detailed appendices** | Researchers | Markdown reports in `reports/overton_window/` | Per-indicator deep dives with full methodology | |
||||
| **Live exploration** | Power users | Streamlit Explorer tab | Interactive drill-down into the underlying data | |
||||
|
||||
The narrative spine references appendices for detail. Appendices reference each other where analyses overlap. The live dashboard links back to the narrative via explanatory text. |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Centrist definition must be consistent across all outputs |
||||
|
||||
The strict 4-party definition (D66, CDA, CU, NSC) is the canonical one — it isolates the genuine center and produces cleaner signals. The 6-party definition (adding VVD, BBB) appeared in early iterations and survives in some reports. Every public-facing output must use the strict definition or explicitly note when the wide definition is used for comparison. |
||||
|
||||
### 3. Live dashboards are part of the story |
||||
|
||||
The Streamlit Explorer already shows the SVD compass (Tab A), party trajectories (Tab B), and component decomposition (Tab C) — all of which directly visualize Overton window dynamics. The gap is that: |
||||
|
||||
- No tab explicitly labels itself as "Overton analysis" |
||||
- No tab shows right-wing motion centrist support trends |
||||
- No tab shows 2D extremity scoring results |
||||
- The browser.py/search.py tabs exist but aren't wired |
||||
|
||||
Adding a dedicated "Overton Window" tab or retrofitting the existing compass tab with an Overton context panel connects the static analysis to the live data surface. |
||||
|
||||
### 4. Quarto bridges static reports and interactive dashboards |
||||
|
||||
Static HTML (overton_report.html) is a dead-end artifact — it can't be updated without regeneration and can't be filtered or zoomed. Quarto `.qmd` files with embedded Plotly charts solve this: |
||||
|
||||
- Interactive centrist support trend lines with hover tooltips |
||||
- Filterable 2D extremity scatter plots |
||||
- Linked views between SVD drift and centrist support |
||||
- Self-contained HTML output with embedded data |
||||
|
||||
The existing `plotly` dependency (6.6.0) works directly in Quarto's Jupyter engine. |
||||
|
||||
### 5. Remove, don't accumulate |
||||
|
||||
Not every report earned its place. Remove: |
||||
- `findings_report.md` — fully superseded by synthesis |
||||
- `blog_post.html` — replace with Quarto version |
||||
- Duplicate analysis between breakpoint and synthesis — keep breakpoint as appendix only |
||||
|
||||
### 6. Master build script for reproducibility |
||||
|
||||
A single `analysis/right_wing/build_all_reports.py` that runs every analysis script in dependency order and verifies output existence. This guarantees that any future researcher can regenerate the entire Overton analysis from the same database state. |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
Without narrative architecture, a multi-session analytical project produces a fragmented artifact: individual reports are technically correct but nobody can follow the story from question to answer. The three-tier structure (narrative spine → appendices → live dashboard) maps to how different readers consume the work: skim the spine, drill into appendices for detail, explore the dashboard for their own questions. |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- Any analytical project that spans multiple sessions and produces more than 5 output files |
||||
- When static reports overlap with live dashboards |
||||
- When reports need to survive beyond the session that created them |

# Measuring Overton Window Shifts with Parliamentary Voting Data |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
Dutch Tweede Kamer voting data over 2016–2026 provides a natural experiment for testing whether the political Overton window — the range of politically acceptable policy proposals — has shifted rightward. The central question: did centrist parties become more accepting of right-wing policy, and what objective indicators support or refute a genuine shift? |
||||
|
||||
Initial analysis efforts ran into three structural problems before converging on a reliable methodology. (session history) |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Define Centrist Parties by Quantitative Position |
||||
|
||||
Do not assume party self-labels or media classifications. Define centrist parties by their SVD position on the primary left-right axis: |
||||
|
||||
- Compute SVD scores per party per window |
||||
- A party qualifies as centrist only if its coordinate falls within ±0.5σ of the parliamentary median over the full period |
||||
- In the Dutch context, this yields **D66, CDA, CU, NSC** as centrist |
||||
- VVD and BBB are center-right, not centrist — including them inflated baseline centrist support by ~0.13 and diluted the Overton shift signal from d=0.85 to d=0.68 (session history) |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Align SVD Axes with Procrustes + Validate Sign via Anchor Parties |
||||
|
||||
Raw per-window SVD axes are independently computed and not comparable across years. The stability gate (Spearman correlation of party rankings) failed for 9/10 consecutive window pairs. |
||||
|
||||
**Correct approach:** |
||||
- Use chained Procrustes alignment to the first chronological window |
||||
- Zero-pad vectors to max dimension across all windows |
||||
- Run global PCA on the stacked aligned matrix |
||||
- Apply flip correction per axis using canonical right/left party centroids |
||||
- **Critically:** after flip correction, axis sign may differ from raw SVD_THEMES labels. Always validate orientation against 2+ known-party anchors (e.g., PVV vs Volt on axis-2) before interpreting direction |
||||
|
||||
For the Dutch parliament after flip correction: |
||||
- Axis 1 (economic): positive = pro-market, negative = welfare |
||||
- Axis 2 (cultural): **negative = nationalist** (PVV at -0.56, FVD at -0.36), **positive = kosmopolitisch** (Volt at +0.27, GL-PvdA at +0.21) — this is the **opposite** of raw `SVD_THEMES[2]` labeling |
||||
|
||||
### 3. Replace Pass Rate with Centrist Support Fraction |
||||
|
||||
The Dutch Tweede Kamer passes 96%+ of all motions. Pass rate is structurally useless — no signal survives the ceiling effect. |
||||
|
||||
**Use instead:** `centrist_support = centrist_voor_votes / centrist_total_votes` |
||||
|
||||
In the party-disciplined Dutch context, computing this as fraction-of-parties vs fraction-of-MPs produces near-identical results (r = 0.998, mean difference < 0.001), but MP-level is preferred for international comparability. |
||||
|
||||
### 4. The Overton Test: Rising Support + Widening Ideological Distance |
||||
|
||||
The defining signature of an Overton window widening is **acceptance without conversion**: |
||||
|
||||
- Centrist voting support for right-wing motions rises (Cohen's d = +0.85 for opposition-only motions) |
||||
- **But** SVD axes show centrists moved LEFT on both dimensions (economic: -0.223, cultural: +0.081 toward kosmopolitisch) |
||||
- **And** the cultural distance between centrist and right-wing parties **widened** from 0.282 to 0.428 (+0.146) |
||||
- The combined pattern rules out ideological conversion and confirms window widening: the range of acceptable policy expanded without centrist parties themselves moving right |
||||
|
||||
### 5. Opposition-Only Filter as Coalition Control |
||||
|
||||
Motions submitted by government parties after they enter coalition could reflect coalition discipline, not ideological shift. Filter to motions where the lead submitter party is NOT in the ruling coalition: |
||||
|
||||
- Parse submitter party from motion title prefixes |
||||
- Hardcode coalition composition per year |
||||
- If opposition-only centrist support also rises (as it did: d=+0.85, stronger than overall d=+0.65), the shift is not coalition-driven |
||||
|
||||
**Fragility note:** submitter parsing covers ~87–91% of motions. Missing 10%+ are bills, amendments, and motions with non-standard titles. |
||||
|
||||
### 6. Extremity-Stratified Centrist Support as Tolerance Test |
||||
|
||||
Bucket right-wing motions by LLM-scored extremity (1–2, 2–3, 3–4, 4–5). Compute centrist support per bucket for pre-2024 vs post-2024: |
||||
|
||||
- If high-extremity motions gained disproportionate support: centrists became more tolerant of extreme content |
||||
- If all buckets rose uniformly: the shift is about quantity, not tolerance |
||||
- If only mild motions rose: right-wing parties filed milder motions, shift is illusory |
||||
|
||||
The persistence of a gradient (centrists still differentiate by extremity post-shift) confirms centrist support is not random — they vote strategically, not blindly. |
||||
|
||||
### 7. Audit LLM Scores with 2D Rescoring |
||||
|
||||
LLM-based extremity scores conflate two distinct dimensions: |
||||
- **Stylistic extremity:** inflammatory language, emotional charge |
||||
- **Material impact:** substantive rights restriction, institutional change |
||||
|
||||
Manual audit of 5 motions per extremity bucket (20 total) found 75% agreement with systematic LLM biases: overrating anti-institutional language and migration-adjacent content. A flat content extremity trend (d=-0.09) may partially reflect these biases rather than genuine stability. |
||||
|
||||
**Mitigation:** deferred two-dimensional rescoring on a stratified sample to measure correlation. If r < 0.6, the dimensions are independent and dual scoring is required. |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
Without this methodology, Overton window analysis produces false negatives or ambiguous results: |
||||
- Loose centrist definitions mask the signal (session history) |
||||
- Pass rate creates a false negative (no detectable change at 96%+ ceiling) |
||||
- Raw SVD mislabels axis direction, producing the wrong interpretation (centrists moving "right" when they actually moved left) |
||||
- Missing opposition control conflates coalition discipline with ideological shift |
||||
|
||||
The "acceptance without conversion" finding has implications beyond Dutch politics: it demonstrates that policy acceptance can expand without ideological convergence, a pattern observable in any party-disciplined legislature with longitudinal voting data. |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- When analyzing longitudinal shifts in policy acceptability from voting records |
||||
- When centrist parties show increased voting alignment with fringe parties |
||||
- When distinguishing between coalition effects and genuine ideological repositioning |
||||
- When working with per-window SVD/PCA embeddings that need cross-temporal comparison |
||||
- When using LLM-scored extremity metrics as independent variables — audit first |
||||
|
||||
## Examples |
||||
|
||||
**Before (what didn't work):** |
||||
- Raw per-window SVD positions compared without alignment → 9/10 stability failures, uninterpretable |
||||
- Pass rate tracked as primary Overton metric → flatline at 96%+, no signal |
||||
- Loose centrist definition (VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU) → inflated baseline, diluted d=0.68 |
||||
- Static SVD_THEMES pole labels assumed without verifying against anchor parties → wrong axis direction |
||||
|
||||
**After (what works):** |
||||
- Procrustes-aligned PCA with anchor-party sign validation → interpretable cross-window drift |
||||
- Centrist support fraction as primary metric → clear pre/post shift (d=+0.65 strict, d=+0.85 opposition-only) |
||||
- Strict centrist definition (D66, CDA, CU, NSC) → unmasked the full effect size |
||||
- Runtime flip correction produces correct axis convention → centrists moved LEFT on both axes, diverging from right |

# SVD Positions Reflect Voting Patterns, Not Policy Content |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
When analyzing political shifts with SVD/PCA party positions, it is tempting to interpret spatial movement as ideological change — "centrists moved left" sounds like centrist parties became more progressive. This interpretation is incorrect and dangerously misleading. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
**SVD axes capture agreement structure, not policy positions.** A party's coordinate on an SVD axis reflects whom it votes with and against, not what policies it advocates. This was already documented in `svd-labels-voting-patterns-not-semantics.md` for axis labeling, but the same principle applies to spatial drift analysis. |
||||
|
||||
**What SVD movement actually means:** |
||||
- Centrists moving left on an axis means centrist voting patterns became *more distinct* from right-wing voting patterns |
||||
- It does NOT mean centrist parties adopted more left-wing policy positions |
||||
- It does NOT mean the motions being voted on became more left-wing or right-wing in content |
||||
|
||||
**Why this matters for Overton window analysis:** |
||||
- "Acceptance without conversion" (centrists vote more with right-wing while spatially diverging) is a claim about *voting behavior*, not stated ideology |
||||
- A right-wing motion can have high centrist support while still being in a "right-wing" cluster if centrist parties split on it |
||||
- Topics with cross-partisan agreement (defense, nuclear energy) show minimal spatial separation regardless of how radical the motion text is |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- Before interpreting any SVD/PCA spatial drift as "ideological shift" |
||||
- When presenting SVD movement findings to non-technical audiences |
||||
- When cross-referencing voting-pattern results with content-based analysis (LLM extremity scores, mechanism classification) |
||||
|
||||
## Prevention |
||||
|
||||
Always pair SVD drift findings with a caveat: "SVD positions reflect voting patterns, not policy content. We measure behavioral shifts in voting coalitions, not ideological repositioning of party platforms." |

# Parallel API Batching for AI Motion Summarization |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
Generating layman-friendly explanations for 29,000+ parliamentary motions via an LLM API. Initial approach processed one motion per API call, yielding ~700 motions/hour with significant per-request overhead. At this rate, the full backfill would take ~40 hours and cost ~$15-20. The budget tracking was also inaccurate — estimated $5.00 cap but actual API spend was only ~$1.78 when the cap was hit. |
||||
|
||||
## Guidance |
||||
|
||||
### 1. Application-level batching (not native API batching) |
||||
|
||||
OpenAI's `/chat/completions` endpoint does not support multiple independent conversations in one request. Instead, pack 10-20 motions into a single prompt and request structured JSON output: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
# Build one prompt with N motions |
||||
prompt = f"""Je krijgt {len(motions)} moties. |
||||
Schrijf voor ELKE motie 2-3 zinnen uitleg. |
||||
Geef antwoord als JSON: {{"motion_id": "uitleg", ...}} |
||||
|
||||
{motions_block} |
||||
""" |
||||
|
||||
# Request JSON mode |
||||
payload = { |
||||
"model": model, |
||||
"messages": messages, |
||||
"response_format": {"type": "json_object"} |
||||
} |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This eliminates 90%+ of per-request HTTP overhead and context-window overhead. |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Parallel API requests with ThreadPoolExecutor |
||||
|
||||
When the API supports concurrent requests, use `ThreadPoolExecutor` to saturate the connection: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor |
||||
|
||||
def chat_completion_json_parallel( |
||||
message_batches, model=None, max_workers=3 |
||||
): |
||||
def _fetch_one(messages): |
||||
return chat_completion_json(messages, model=model) |
||||
|
||||
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=max_workers) as executor: |
||||
futures = [executor.submit(_fetch_one, batch) for batch in message_batches] |
||||
return [f.result() for f in futures] |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
With 3 parallel workers × 15 motions per batch = 45 motions per chunk. This yielded **2.0x speedup** (0.5 → 1.0 motions/sec). After fixing the parameter-passing bug (see "Critical gotcha" below), 5 workers × 20 motions = 100 motions per chunk achieved **3.4x speedup** (1.1 → 3.7 motions/sec). |
||||
|
||||
### 3. Model selection for language quality |
||||
|
||||
Tested three models on the same problematic motions: |
||||
|
||||
| Model | Quality | Speed | Issues | |
||||
|-------|---------|-------|--------| |
||||
| `google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-it` | Good | Slow (~25s/batch) | Occasional English words | |
||||
| `mistralai/mistral-small-2603` | **Excellent** | Medium | None observed | |
||||
| `mistralai/mistral-small-3.2-24b-instruct` | Good | Medium | One blank output | |
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation**: `mistralai/mistral-small-2603` for Dutch-language tasks. Test on a representative sample (20-50 items) before committing to a full backfill. |
||||
|
||||
### 4. Post-processing pipeline |
||||
|
||||
Always add a post-processing step to catch model failures: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
def _post_process_summary(self, text: str) -> str: |
||||
# 1. Remove lines that are mostly non-Latin (Chinese, Arabic, etc.) |
||||
# 2. Replace known English words with Dutch equivalents |
||||
# 3. Fix common typos (e.g., "lageinkomen" → "laag inkomen") |
||||
# 4. Reject if >10 common English words remain |
||||
# 5. Remove metadata fragments like "(45-102)" |
||||
# 6. Normalize whitespace and punctuation |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This caught: Arabic script hallucinations, English words like "filthy", Dutch typos like "formuliernoten", and metadata leaking from titles. |
||||
|
||||
### 5. Adaptive backfill script |
||||
|
||||
Create a backfill script that monitors throughput and adjusts parameters dynamically: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
# Start conservative |
||||
api_batch_size = 15 |
||||
parallel_batches = 3 |
||||
chunk_size = api_batch_size * parallel_batches # 45 |
||||
|
||||
# After each chunk, measure time |
||||
if chunk_time < avg_chunk_time * 0.8: |
||||
api_batch_size += 1 # API is fast, increase batch |
||||
elif chunk_time > avg_chunk_time * 1.5: |
||||
api_batch_size -= 1 # API is slow, decrease batch |
||||
|
||||
# On repeated failures, back off |
||||
if failures_in_row >= 2: |
||||
api_batch_size -= 2 |
||||
delay_between_chunks += 1.0 |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
### Critical gotcha: pass parallelism config all the way through |
||||
|
||||
When adding `parallel_batches` to the orchestration layer, make sure it actually reaches the API call. A common bug is adding the parameter to the outer script but leaving hardcoded defaults in the inner method: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
# summarizer.py — WRONG (hardcoded defaults) |
||||
def generate_layman_explanations_batch_parallel( |
||||
self, motions, model=None, parallel_batches=3, sub_batch_size=15 |
||||
): |
||||
... |
||||
|
||||
def update_motion_summaries( |
||||
self, ..., api_batch_size=15, parallel_batches=3 # still hardcoded! |
||||
): |
||||
... |
||||
summaries = self.generate_layman_explanations_batch_parallel( |
||||
motions_for_api, |
||||
model=config.QWEN_MODEL, |
||||
parallel_batches=3, # <-- BUG: ignores parameter |
||||
sub_batch_size=15, # <-- BUG: ignores parameter |
||||
) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
**Fix**: pass the parameters through and compute `sub_batch_size` dynamically: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
# summarizer.py — CORRECT |
||||
def update_motion_summaries( |
||||
self, ..., api_batch_size=15, parallel_batches=3 |
||||
): |
||||
... |
||||
summaries = self.generate_layman_explanations_batch_parallel( |
||||
motions_for_api, |
||||
model=config.QWEN_MODEL, |
||||
parallel_batches=parallel_batches, |
||||
sub_batch_size=api_batch_size // parallel_batches, |
||||
) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
**Impact of this bug**: With `parallel_batches=3` hardcoded, increasing backfill.py to 5 workers had zero effect. After fixing: speed jumped from **1.1 → 3.7 motions/sec** (3.4x). |
||||
|
||||
### 6. Accurate cost tracking |
||||
|
||||
Update cost estimates when switching models. The old estimate assumed Qwen at $0.60/M tokens, but Mistral Small is much cheaper: |
||||
|
||||
```python |
||||
# Mistral Small 2603 pricing (OpenRouter) |
||||
TOKEN_PRICE_PER_MILLION = 0.07 # blended input+output |
||||
TOKENS_PER_MOTION = 480 # ~400 input + ~80 output |
||||
COST_PER_MOTION = (TOKENS_PER_MOTION / 1_000_000) * TOKEN_PRICE_PER_MILLION |
||||
# ≈ $0.000034 per motion |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
## Why This Matters |
||||
|
||||
- **Speed**: From ~700/hour (single) to ~13,320/hour (parallel batch, 5 workers) — **19x faster** |
||||
- **Cost**: From ~$15-20 estimated to ~$1-2 actual for 30,000 motions |
||||
- **Quality**: Model testing on edge cases prevents garbage-in-garbage-out at scale |
||||
- **Reliability**: Post-processing catches ~5% of outputs that would degrade UX |
||||
|
||||
## When to Apply |
||||
|
||||
- Processing 1,000+ items through any LLM API |
||||
- API charges per-request (not per-token) or has high latency per request |
||||
- Output quality is critical and model hallucinations are unacceptable |
||||
- Running overnight/background backfills where throughput matters more than latency |
||||
|
||||
## Examples |
||||
|
||||
### Before (single-motion API calls) |
||||
```python |
||||
for motion in motions: |
||||
summary = ai.chat_completion(build_prompt(motion)) |
||||
# 50 motions = 50 API calls, ~250s total |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
### After (parallel batching) |
||||
```python |
||||
# Split into 3 batches of 15 |
||||
batches = [motions[i:i+15] for i in range(0, 50, 15)] |
||||
message_batches = [build_batch_prompt(batch) for batch in batches] |
||||
results = chat_completion_json_parallel(message_batches, max_workers=3) |
||||
# 50 motions = 3 API calls, ~25s total |
||||
``` |

# Two-Dimensional Extremity Correlation Report |
||||
|
||||
> **Part of the Overton Window Analysis.** See the [synthesis report](overton_window_synthesis.md) for the integrated narrative, or the [interactive article](overton_window.qmd) for the full story with charts. |
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-06-06 |
||||
**Motions scored:** 29,591 (all motions in `extremity_scores_all`) |
||||
**Right-wing subset:** 3,089 (`extremity_scores_2d`) |
||||
**Scoring model:** Deepseek v4 flash (subagents via project skill) |
||||
|
||||
## Purpose |
||||
|
||||
The original extremity score is a single 1–5 rating of policy radicalism. This conflates two potentially independent dimensions: |
||||
- **Stylistic extremity (stijl-extremiteit):** How inflammatory, hostile, or polarizing the language is |
||||
- **Material impact (materiële impact):** How much the proposed policy would substantively affect people's rights, institutions, or freedoms |
||||
|
||||
This analysis scores all motions on both dimensions independently to test the separability of the two dimensions at scale. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Results |
||||
|
||||
### Overall correlation (all motions) |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value | |
||||
|--------|-------| |
||||
| N | 29,591 | |
||||
| Pearson r | **0.43** (moderate) | |
||||
| Mean stylistic | 1.36 | |
||||
| Mean material | 2.12 | |
||||
| Mean absolute difference | 0.85 | |
||||
| S ≤ 2 AND M ≥ 3 (masking) | 7,111 (24.0%) | |
||||
|
||||
**r = 0.43 is moderate — the dimensions are separable at scale.** Stylistic extremism explains only ~18% of the variance in material impact (R² = 0.185). A motion can be inflammatory without being consequential, and vice versa. |
||||
|
||||
This is slightly weaker than the r = 0.453 observed in the initial 117-motion validation sample, confirming the separability is not a small-sample artifact. |
||||
|
||||
### Joint distribution (all motions) |
||||
|
||||
| | M=1 | M=2 | M=3 | M=4 | M=5 | |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---| |
||||
| **S=1** | 6,010 | 11,428 | 3,194 | 391 | 19 | |
||||
| **S=2** | 442 | 2,852 | 2,880 | 580 | 47 | |
||||
| **S=3** | 100 | 360 | 542 | 308 | 61 | |
||||
| **S=4** | 14 | 46 | 96 | 111 | 49 | |
||||
| **S=5** | 2 | 2 | 7 | 32 | 18 | |
||||
|
||||
The modal cell is S=1, M=2 (11,428 motions, 38.6% of all scored motions). Most motions use restrained, procedural language paired with low-to-moderate material impact — reflecting the dominance of technocratic and administrative proposals in Dutch parliamentary business. |
||||
|
||||
### Joint distribution (right-wing subset) |
||||
|
||||
| | M=1 | M=2 | M=3 | M=4 | M=5 | |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---| |
||||
| **S=1** | 245 | 669 | 321 | 92 | 5 | |
||||
| **S=2** | 53 | 380 | 499 | 167 | 31 | |
||||
| **S=3** | 21 | 74 | 167 | 164 | 47 | |
||||
| **S=4** | 3 | 10 | 44 | 46 | 37 | |
||||
| **S=5** | 1 | 0 | 2 | 4 | 7 | |
||||
|
||||
Right-wing motions are shifted toward higher scores on both dimensions compared to the full motion population. |
||||
|
||||
### Initial validation sample (original extremity buckets) |
||||
|
||||
The original 117-motion stratified sample (25 per extremity bucket) — which guided the initial development — is preserved in `extremity_scores_2d` with its own 2D scores. The pattern from that sample holds at scale: |
||||
|
||||
| Bucket | N | Mean style | Mean material | Gap | |
||||
|--------|---|-----------|--------------|-----| |
||||
| 1–2 (mild) | 50 | 1.56 | 2.24 | +0.68 | |
||||
| 2–3 (moderate) | 25 | 2.00 | 2.88 | +0.88 | |
||||
| 3–4 (high) | 25 | 2.56 | 3.56 | +1.00 | |
||||
| 4–5 (extreme) | 17 | 2.53 | 3.65 | +1.12 | |
||||
|
||||
Material impact consistently rates higher than stylistic extremity across all buckets. The gap widens at higher extremity levels. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Key findings |
||||
|
||||
### 1. "Low style, high impact" is the dominant divergence pattern at scale |
||||
|
||||
**24.0% of all motions (7,111 of 29,591)** use restrained language (S ≤ 2) for policies with substantial material impact (M ≥ 3). These are the motions most poorly captured by a single-dimensional score: |
||||
|
||||
- **Motion 16227** (S=1, M=5): "Verzoekt de regering kennis te geven van het voornemen tot uittreding uit de Europese Unie conform artikel 50 VWEU." Neutral, procedural language invoking an EU treaty article — but the policy is fundamental dissolution of the entire Dutch-EU legal framework. |
||||
|
||||
- **Motion 7713** (S=1, M=4): "Verzoekt de regering per direct te stoppen met arbeidsmigratie." Restrained, single-sentence motion with no inflammatory language — but it would suspend free movement of persons, a fundamental EU treaty right. |
||||
|
||||
In the right-wing subset, the masking rate is even higher: **36.1% (1,115 of 3,089)** — confirming that right-wing motions disproportionately use procedural language to advance consequential policy. |
||||
|
||||
### 2. Material impact averages higher across all subsets |
||||
|
||||
Across all motions, material impact scores average 0.76 points higher than stylistic scores. The gap is wider for right-wing motions (0.83) than for the full population. This suggests Dutch parliamentary language norms systematically mask policy radicalism — a pattern that is amplified in right-wing proposals. |
||||
|
||||
### 3. The majority of motions are low-intensity |
||||
|
||||
Most motions cluster at low scores on both dimensions. 58.9% of all motions (17,438) score S=1 with M=1 or M=2 — reflecting a parliament dominated by procedural, technical, and administrative business. This is the baseline against which right-wing motions (mean S=1.83, M=2.66) appear notably more extreme. |
||||
|
||||
### 4. "High style" motions are rare and concentrated |
||||
|
||||
Only 18 motions scored S=5 (the most inflammatory end) in the full dataset, and all had M=4 or M=5. Explicitly hostile language — when it occurs — is consistently paired with substantively extreme policies. But the vast majority of consequential motions use parliamentary language: |
||||
|
||||
- **Motion 11956** (S=4, M=5): Explicitly hostile language ("à la Turkije," "vreemdelingen die we hier niet willen hebben") paired with fundamental rights violation (forced deportation without country-of-origin consent) |
||||
- **Motion 18064** (S=5, M=4): Explicit ethnic targeting ("niet-westerse allochtonen" as COVID rulebreakers) — discriminatory state action |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## All-Motion Comparison |
||||
|
||||
With 29,591 motions scored, we can compare the right-wing subset against the full motion population: |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | All motions | Right-wing | Δ | |
||||
|--------|------------|------------|-----| |
||||
| N | 29,591 | 3,089 | — | |
||||
| Mean stylistic | 1.36 | 1.83 | +0.47 | |
||||
| Mean material | 2.12 | 2.66 | +0.54 | |
||||
| Pearson r | 0.43 | 0.47 | +0.04 | |
||||
| Gap (M−S) | 0.76 | 0.83 | +0.07 | |
||||
| Masking (S≤2, M≥3) | 24.0% | 36.1% | +12.1 pp | |
||||
|
||||
**Right-wing motions score significantly higher on both dimensions** than the average motion: +0.47 on stylistic extremity and +0.54 on material impact. The correlation between dimensions is slightly tighter for right-wing motions (r=0.47 vs 0.43), but both remain in the moderate range — confirming the two dimensions are separable across all motion types. |
||||
|
||||
The masking effect — consequential policy in restrained language — is substantially more pronounced in right-wing motions (36.1% vs 24.0%), consistent with the strategic moderation finding in the Overton analysis: right-wing parties use procedural framing to advance substantively significant policy. |
||||
|
||||
### Distribution by dimension |
||||
|
||||
- **Stylistic extremity:** 71.1% of all motions score S=1 (the minimum). Right-wing motions are more evenly distributed, with 39.8% at S=1 and 22.3% at S=3+. |
||||
- **Material impact:** Both distributions are right-skewed, but right-wing motions have a heavier tail at M=4 and M=5 (10.3% combined vs 2.6% for all motions). |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Implications for Overton analysis |
||||
|
||||
### For the current findings |
||||
|
||||
The "no content extremity increase" (d = −0.09) finding in the Overton report relied on single-dimensional LLM scores. The two-dimensional data at scale confirms this may be an **artifact of the language-focused scoring**: if right-wing motions became more consequential while maintaining or softening their language, the single score would miss the shift entirely. |
||||
|
||||
The "acceptance without conversion" interpretation — centrists vote more with right-wing despite spatial divergence — is **strengthened** by these findings. It is consistent with right-wing motions becoming *substantively* consequential (high material impact) while maintaining procedural language norms, making them harder for centrists to vote against without appearing obstructionist. |
||||
|
||||
### Recommendations |
||||
|
||||
1. **Single-dimensional scoring is no longer needed.** The 2D scoring has been applied to all 29,591 motions with scores stored in `extremity_scores_all`. All analyses should use the two-dimensional scores: stylistic extremity for language analysis, material impact for substantive policy analysis. |
||||
|
||||
2. **Re-run the extremity-stratified centrist support analysis with material impact buckets.** The critical question: did centrist support for *high material impact* motions increase after 2024? If low-language, high-impact motions are the ones gaining centrist tolerance, that is stronger Overton evidence than the current analysis captures. |
||||
|
||||
3. **For mechanism analysis (U4):** Score mechanisms specifically for *material impact* rather than general extremity. The question is not "how extreme is this motion?" but "what specific rights, institutions, or groups does this motion affect, and how much?" |
||||

# Overton Window Analysis — Reading Guide |
||||
|
||||
This directory contains the complete Overton window analysis: a quantitative investigation into whether the Dutch parliamentary center shifted rightward between 2016 and 2026. |
||||
|
||||
**Verdict:** The Overton window widened: more right-wing positions became politically acceptable after 2024. Right-wing parties moderated toward it. The shift may be temporary. |
||||
|
||||
## Where to Start |
||||
|
||||
1. **[Interactive Article](overton_window.qmd)** — The narrative spine. 9 sections with interactive Plotly charts telling the story from question to answer. Render with `quarto render overton_window.qmd`. |
||||
|
||||
2. **[Synthesis Report](overton_window_synthesis.md)** — The detailed synthesis of all indicators, uncertainty hierarchy, and the "acceptance through moderation" verdict. |
||||
|
||||
3. **[HTML Dashboard](overton_report.html)** — Standalone visual report with gravity-controlled charts, 2D extremity heatmap, and three example motions. |
||||
|
||||
## Live Exploration |
||||
|
||||
Explore the data interactively in the Stemwijzer Explorer (`uv run streamlit run Home.py`): |
||||
|
||||
- **Overton tab** — Centrist support trends, right-wing motion browser, summary statistics |
||||
- **Kompas tab** — SVD party positions (the axes behind the spatial divergence finding) |
||||
- **Trajectories tab** — Party drift over time (with 2024 breakpoint annotation) |
||||
- **SVD Components tab** — Which motions drive each ideological axis |
||||
|
||||

# Overton Window Analysis — Status |
||||
|
||||
**Last updated:** 2026-06-07 |
||||
**Active plan:** `docs/plans/2026-06-06-001-overton-coherent-narrative-plan.md` |
||||
**Working branch:** `feat/right-wing-motion-analysis` |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Context |
||||
|
||||
The Overton window analysis is a flagship output of Stemwijzer's **Track 2: Analytical Depth and Transparency** (see `STRATEGY.md`). Stemwijzer is a Dutch parliamentary analysis platform with three tracks: |
||||
|
||||
1. **Data pipeline reliability** — robust ingestion of all Tweede Kamer votes |
||||
2. **Analytical depth and transparency** — interpretable political dimensions (this analysis) |
||||
3. **Agent-native architecture** — self-documenting, agent-operable codebase |
||||
|
||||
The Overton analysis demonstrates what the platform can do: SVD compass, 29K+ scored motions, 2D extremity scoring, and Procrustes-aligned drift detection — all in service of a real political science question. |
||||
|
||||
## Goal |
||||
|
||||
A coherent, multi-surface story about whether the Dutch Overton window shifted — accessible as an interactive Quarto article, live in the Streamlit Explorer, and backed by reproducible analysis scripts. The narrative serves dual purpose: a political science finding AND a platform showcase that drives engagement with the Stemwijzer compass and explorer. |
||||
|
||||
Three tiers: |
||||
|
||||
1. **Narrative spine** — Quarto article (the story, with "About Stemwijzer" section) |
||||
2. **Detailed appendices** — Markdown reports in `reports/overton_window/` (the evidence) |
||||
3. **Live exploration** — Streamlit Explorer Overton tab + existing Kompas/Trajectories tabs (the data) |
||||

## Verdict |
||||
|
||||
**The Overton window widened: more right-wing positions became politically acceptable after 2024. Centrist support for right-wing motions surged (25%→51%) while staying flat for left-wing motions (49%→49%). The mechanism was right-wing moderation, not centrist conversion — and the effect may be temporary (2026-Q1 reversion to 33%).** |

# Overton Window Breakpoint Analysis (2D Extremity) |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Quantify the 2024 structural break in centrist support |
||||
and content extremity for right-wing motions in the Tweede Kamer. |
||||
|
||||
**Analysis period:** 2016–2026 |
||||
**Right-wing parties:** PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP |
||||
**Centrist parties:** VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU |
||||
**Left parties:** PvdA, GL, SP, PvdD, Volt, DENK, Bij1 |
||||
|
||||
**2D Extremity dimensions:** |
||||
- **Materiële Impact** (material): substantive policy impact (rights restriction, institutional change) |
||||
- **Stijl** (stylistic): inflammatory phrasing, rhetorical extremity |
||||
|
||||

## 1. Yearly Aggregate Metrics (All Right-Wing Motions) |
||||
|
||||
| Year | N (RW) | Centrist Support (Strict) | Material Impact | Right Support | Left Opp. | |

|

## 2. Pre/Post 2024 Comparison |
||||
|
||||
**Break year:** 2024 |
||||
|
||||
### All right-wing motions |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Pre-2024 Mean | Post-2024 Mean | Δ | Cohen's d | |
||||
|--------|--------------|---------------|-----|-----------| |
||||
| Centrist Support | 0.251 | 0.508 | +0.256 | +0.65 | |
||||
| Material Impact | 2.79 | 2.45 | -0.34 | -0.35 | |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** Cohen's d values quantify effect sizes (|d| < 0.2 small, 0.5 medium, > 0.8 large). |
||||
These are descriptive, not inferential — with only 8 pre-2024 years and 3 post-2024 years, statistical significance is not claimed. |
||||
|
||||
### Opposition-only right-wing motions |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Pre-2024 Mean | Post-2024 Mean | Δ | Cohen's d | N pre / N post | |
||||
|--------|--------------|---------------|-----|-----------|---------------| |
||||
| Centrist Support | 0.130 | 0.423 | +0.293 | +0.85 | 1295 / 437 | |
||||
| Material Impact | 2.87 | 2.53 | -0.34 | -0.35 | 1295 / 437 | |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation gate:** If opposition metrics also rise post-2024, the shift is not |
||||
purely coalition-driven. If opposition metrics stay flat while overall metrics rise, |
||||
the shift is coalition-specific. |
||||
|
||||
## 3. Coalition Composition |
||||
|
||||
2016-2017: Rutte II (VVD/PvdA). 2018-2021: Rutte III (VVD/CDA/D66/CU). 2022-2023: Rutte IV (VVD/D66/CDA/CU). 2024 split: Rutte IV (VVD/D66/CDA/CU) for Jan-Jun 2024, Schoof (PVV/VVD/NSC/BBB) for Jul-Dec 2024. 2025-2026: Schoof (PVV/VVD/NSC/BBB). Period detection uses motion date, not just year. |
||||
|
||||
Submitter party is parsed from motion title prefixes |
||||
(e.g., "Motie van het lid Wilders over ..."). Only the lead submitter's party is |
||||
considered. Multi-submitter motions may have a coalition member as co-submitter |
||||
but still be counted as opposition if the lead submitter is not in the coalition. |
||||
|
||||
## 4. Domain Decomposition |
||||
|
||||
Migration = category `asiel/vreemdelingen`. Non-migration = all other categories. |
||||
|

## 5. Material Impact-Stratified Centrist Support |
||||
|
||||
| Bucket (Material Impact) | Period | N | Mean CS | Median CS | P25 | P75 | |
||||

||||

| | Post-2024 | 135 | 0.357 | 0.333 | 0.000 | 0.667 | |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Key test:** If centrist support for high-impact motions (M=3-5) rose |
||||
disproportionately post-2024 while centrist support for mild motions stayed flat, |
||||
centrists are more tolerant of extreme content — direct Overton shift evidence. |
||||
If centrist support rose uniformly across all buckets, the shift is about volume |
||||
(more motions) rather than tolerance. If only the M=1-2 bucket rose, right-wing |
||||
parties filed milder motions post-2024 and the 'shift' is illusory. |
||||
|
||||
## 6. Gravity-Controlled Centrist Support |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support for right-wing motions, stratified by materiele_impact level, |
||||
measured as fraction of centrist parties (VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU) voting 'voor'. |
||||
|
||||
| Material Impact Level | Pre-2024 Mean CS | Post-2024 Mean CS | Δ | N pre | N post | |
||||
|----------------------|-----------------|------------------|-----|-------|--------| |
||||
| M=1 | 0.384 | 0.676 | +0.292 | 168 | 146 | |
||||
| M=2 | 0.325 | 0.530 | +0.205 | 635 | 481 | |
||||
| M=3 | 0.247 | 0.466 | +0.219 | 650 | 357 | |
||||
| M=4 | 0.129 | 0.397 | +0.267 | 353 | 113 | |
||||
| M=5 | 0.033 | 0.156 | +0.122 | 105 | 22 | |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** This gravity-controlled analysis shows whether the post-2024 |
||||
centrist support shift is uniform across all levels of material impact or |
||||
concentrated in specific impact tiers. A disproportionate rise in high-impact (M=4-5) |
||||
support is the strongest signal of an Overton window shift. |
||||
|
||||
## 7. All-Motion Baseline Comparison |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support for right-wing motions vs non-right-wing motions, pre/post 2024. |
||||
Non-RW motions are all motions not classified as right-wing in right_wing_motions. |
||||
|
||||
| Group | Pre-2024 Mean CS | Post-2024 Mean CS | Δ | N pre | N post | |
||||
|------|-----------------|------------------|-----|-------|--------| |
||||
| Right-wing | 0.251 | 0.508 | +0.256 | 1911 | 1119 | |
||||
| Non-right-wing | 0.587 | 0.581 | -0.006 | 17774 | 8776 | |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** If right-wing CS rose significantly more than non-right-wing CS, |
||||
the shift is specific to right-wing content and not a general parliamentary trend. |
||||
If both rose equally, a systemic factor (coalition change, polarization) is at work. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Left-wing support for right-wing motions |
||||
|
||||
| Year | N | Mean left_support_mp | |
||||
|------|---|---------------------| |
||||
| 2016 | 6 | 0.2917 | |
||||
| 2018 | 5 | 0.5200 | |
||||
| 2019 | 195 | 0.2531 | |
||||
| 2020 | 469 | 0.2414 | |
||||
| 2021 | 425 | 0.2113 | |
||||
| 2022 | 446 | 0.1807 | |
||||
| 2023 | 365 | 0.1779 | |
||||
| 2024 | 469 | 0.2441 | |
||||
| 2025 | 455 | 0.2015 | |
||||
| 2026 | 195 | 0.1675 | |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Pre-2024 Mean | Post-2024 Mean | Δ | |
||||
|--------|--------------|---------------|-----| |
||||
| Left Support (MP) | 0.2680 | 0.2044 | -0.0636 | |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** Left parties moved from 26.8% to 20.4% support — a 0.1 point shift. Whether this represents leftward Overton expansion depends on whether left parties are tolerating or actively supporting right-wing positions. |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
## 9. Manual Extremity Audit |
||||
|
||||
**Audit notes:** Perform manual audit by reviewing the motions below. Record agreement per motion. Note whether the LLM scores appear driven by *stylistic extremity* (inflammatory phrasing) or *material impact* (substantive rights restriction, institutional change). If agreement < 70%, flag LLM scoring as unreliable for the stratified analysis. |

## 10. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Small-N time series:** 8 pre-2024 years and at most 3 post-2024 years (2026 is partial). |
||||
Effect sizes are descriptive, not confirmatory. |
||||
- **LLM extremity scores:** Content-based, not independently validated beyond the |
||||
manual audit above. See §9 for agreement rate and noted biases. |
||||
- **Coalition composition:** Hardcoded per year. 2024 is ambiguous (Rutte IV until July, |
||||
Schoof thereafter). Early 2024 motions may be miscoded as Schoof-era. |
||||
- **Submitter party identification:** Parsed from motion title prefixes (e.g., |
||||
'Motie van het lid X'). May be inaccurate for multi-submitter motions or |
||||
complex title formats. |
||||
- **Keyword penetration not analyzed:** The right-wing keyword set was derived |
||||
differentially from right-wing motions, making it circular for adoption analysis. |

## 12. Conclusion |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support for right-wing motions rose from 25% to 51% after 2024, with the shift concentrated in the quarter following the PVV's November 2023 election victory. The change was uniform across material impact levels, and the timing points to an electoral rather than coalition-driven mechanism. Whether this shift persists beyond the current parliamentary term remains an open question. |

# Causal Timing: Centrist Support Shift for Right-Wing Motions |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Identify the exact timing of the centrist support shift and correlate it with |
||||
political events to distinguish between competing causal explanations. |
||||
|
||||
**Analysis period:** 2016-Q2 through 2026-Q1 (all quarters with data) |
||||
**Total right-wing motions analyzed:** 3030 |
||||
**Right-wing parties:** PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP |
||||
**Centrist parties:** VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 1. Key Findings |
||||
|
||||
**Raw inflection point:** 2024-Q1 (first quarter with centrist_support > 0.4 and n >= 20) |
||||
**Rolling inflection point:** 2024-Q2 (3-Q rolling average crosses 0.4) |
||||
**Pre-inflection mean (CS):** 0.329 (n=24 quarters) |
||||
**Post-inflection mean (CS):** 0.515 (n=10 quarters) |
||||
**Shift velocity (4Q pre vs 4Q post):** 0.338 |
||||
**Shift onset relative to Schoof cabinet:** BEFORE cabinet formation |
||||
|
||||
**Shift shape test:** **IMMEDIATE** — the main structural break jump at 2024-Q1 was +0.180 (0.321 to 0.501), exceeding the 0.1 threshold. A secondary bounce occurred at 2026-Q2 (+0.189, from 0.334 to 0.523). |
||||
- Max single-quarter jump: 0.2289 at 2020-Q4 |
||||
- Average absolute quarterly change: 0.0999 |
||||
- Jump ratio (max / avg): 2.29x |
||||
- Pre-inflection average QoQ delta: +0.0112 |
||||
- Post-inflection average QoQ delta: +0.0024 |
||||
|
||||
The largest single-quarter jump was +0.229 (2020-Q3 -> 2020-Q4). However, the **main structural break** occurs at the shift onset: +0.180 at 2024-Q1, which is 1.8x the average quarterly change (0.100). Pre-inflection spikes (e.g. 2020-Q4: +0.229) reverted within one quarter, while the 2024-Q1 break was **sustained**: centrist support stayed above 0.4 for 8 consecutive quarters (2024-Q1 through 2025-Q4). A secondary bounce at 2026-Q2 (+0.189, from 0.334 to 0.523) followed a brief dip below 0.4 in 2026-Q1. |
||||
|
||||
**Key insight:** The centrist support shift began ** |
||||
BEFORE the Schoof cabinet formation** (July 2024) and |
||||
AFTER the PVV's November 2023 election victory. |
||||
This timing pattern suggests the shift is **electorally driven** — centrist parties adjusted |
||||
voting behavior in response to the electoral shock, not as a response to coalition dynamics. |
||||

## 2. Political Event Correlation Timeline |
||||
|
||||
| Quarter | Date | Event | Category | CS at event | Shift Timing | |
||||
|---------|------|-------|----------|-------------|-------------| |
||||
| 2021-Q1 | Mar 2021 | Rutte IV election | dutch | 0.150 | 12 quarters before shift | |
||||
| 2022-Q3 | Sep 2022 | Sweden rightward shift | european | 0.133 | 6 quarters before shift | |
||||
| 2022-Q4 | Oct 2022 | Meloni (Italy) | european | 0.227 | 5 quarters before shift | |
||||
| 2023-Q2 | Apr 2023 | Finland rightward shift | european | 0.306 | 3 quarters before shift | |
||||
| 2023-Q4 | Nov 2023 | PVV victory (Schoof election) | dutch | 0.321 | 1 quarters before shift | |
||||
| 2024-Q3 | Jul 2024 | Schoof cabinet formation | dutch | 0.588 | 3 quarters after shift | |
||||
|
||||
**European rightward shift context:** |
||||
- Pre-European shift mean CS (before 2022-Q3): 0.365 |
||||
- During European shift period (2022-Q3 to 2023-Q2), mean CS: 0.222 |
||||
- No evidence of anticipatory Dutch centrist response to European rightward trends. |
||||
- Dutch centrist support for RW motions remained low (0.365) |
||||
throughout the European rightward shift period. |
||||

## 3. Shift Velocity Analysis |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value | |
||||
|--------|-------| |
||||
| Inflection quarter (raw) | 2024-Q1 | |
||||
| Pre-4Q average | 0.24 | |
||||
| Post-4Q average | 0.577 | |
||||
| Delta (post - pre) | 0.338 | |
||||
| Pre window | 2023-Q1 to 2023-Q4 | |
||||
| Post window | 2024-Q1 to 2024-Q4 | |
||||
|
||||
The shift velocity (delta = 0.338) represents the difference between |
||||
the average centrist support in the 4 quarters before vs after the inflection point. |
||||
This confirms a **rapid, discrete structural break** rather than a gradual trend. |
||||
|

## 4. Enriched Event Proximity Analysis |
||||
|
||||
| Quarter | Event | CS | Proximity to shift | |
||||
|---------|-------|----|--------------------| |
||||
| 2021-Q1 | Mar 2021 - Rutte IV election | 0.150 | 12 quarters before inflection (2024-Q1) | |
||||
| 2022-Q3 | Sep 2022 - Sweden rightward shift | 0.133 | 6 quarters before inflection (2024-Q1) | |
||||
| 2022-Q4 | Oct 2022 - Meloni (Italy) | 0.227 | 5 quarters before inflection (2024-Q1) | |
||||
| 2023-Q2 | Apr 2023 - Finland rightward shift | 0.306 | 3 quarters before inflection (2024-Q1) | |
||||
| 2023-Q4 | Nov 2023 - PVV victory (Schoof election) | 0.321 | 1 quarters before inflection (2024-Q1) | |
||||
| 2024-Q3 | Jul 2024 - Schoof cabinet formation | 0.588 | 3 quarters after inflection (2024-Q1) | |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** |
||||
- The PVV election (2023-Q4) immediately precedes the inflection point (2024-Q1). |
||||
- The Schoof cabinet formation (2024-Q3) occurs AFTER centrist support had already crossed 0.4. |
||||
- European rightward trends (2022-Q3 to 2023-Q2) had no visible effect on Dutch centrist voting. |
||||
|
||||
**Causal conclusion:** The Overton window shift is **electorally (not coalition) driven**. |
||||
Centrist parties did not wait for the cabinet to form before adapting their voting. |
||||
The adjustment was immediate upon the electoral signal (PVV victory, Nov 2023). |

## 8. Causal Interpretation |
||||
|
||||
### Competing Explanations Evaluated |
||||
|
||||
| Hypothesis | Evidence | Verdict | |
||||
|------------|----------|---------| |
||||
| **Electoral shock:** Centrist parties adapted voting after PVV victory (Nov 2023) | CS jumped from 0.321 (2023-Q4) to 0.501 (2024-Q1) — immediate post-election surge | **SUPPORTED** | |
||||
| **Coalition dynamics:** Centrist parties softened after Schoof cabinet formed (Jul 2024) | Shift began in 2024-Q1, *before* cabinet formation in 2024-Q3 | **REFUTED** | |
||||
| **Gradual learning curve:** Centrists warmed to RW proposals over time | Max QoQ jump (0.229) is 2.3x the average change (0.100) — discrete breakpoint, not gradual ramp | **REFUTED** | |
||||
| **European contagion:** Dutch shift mirrors European rightward trends (Meloni 2022, Sweden 2022, Finland 2023) | No change in Dutch CS during the European shift period (2022-2023); Dutch shift occurred 1+ year later | **REFUTED** | |
||||
| **Strategic moderation:** RW parties moderated proposals, making them acceptable | Temporal alignment: CS jumped immediately after election, before any evidence of systematic moderation | **PARTIALLY SUPPORTED** (moderation may reinforce, but electoral shock triggered the shift) | |
||||
|
||||
### Verdict |
||||
|
||||
The centrist support surge for right-wing motions is primarily an **electoral shock phenomenon**. |
||||
The inflection point (2024-Q1) occurs in the quarter immediately following |
||||
the PVV's November 2023 election victory. Centrist support jumped by |
||||
+0.180 at the main break (2023-Q4 to 2024-Q1), 1.8x |
||||
the typical quarterly variation (0.100). A secondary bounce of +0.189 occurred at 2026-Q2 after a brief dip below 0.4. |
||||
|
||||
This rules out prominent alternative explanations: |
||||
- **Coalition dynamics** cannot explain it — the shift preceded cabinet formation. |
||||
- **Gradual learning** cannot explain it — the jump is discontinuous, not incremental. |
||||
- **European contagion** cannot explain it — no Dutch response during the European shift window. |
||||
|
||||
The most parsimonious explanation is that centrist parties (VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU) |
||||
perceived the PVV's electoral success as a mandate for right-wing policy and adjusted their |
||||
voting behavior accordingly, even before the new cabinet was formed. This suggests the |
||||
Overton window shift reflects **genuine changes in centrist elite behavior**, not merely |
||||
coalition discipline or administrative spillover. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 9. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Quarterly resolution:** Quarterly aggregation may obscure within-quarter dynamics. |
||||
Monthly data would be too noisy; annual data would miss the breakpoint. |
||||
- **Causal inference:** This analysis identifies temporal correlations, not causal mechanisms. |
||||
A proper causal design (diff-in-diff, synthetic control) would require comparison groups. |
||||
- **European comparison:** European events are correlated at the quarter level, but the |
||||
analysis does not control for domestic factors that may have mediated any European effect. |
||||
- **Coalition coding:** 2024 coalition is coded as Schoof for the full year, but the cabinet |
||||
only formed in July 2024. Early 2024 coalition-submitted motions are identified using |
||||
the Schoof coalition, which may misclassify some motions. |

## 4. Divergence Test (Wilcoxon Signed-Rank) |
||||
|
||||
**Test:** wilcoxon_signed_rank |
||||
|
||||
**Statistic:** 0.0 |
||||
|
||||
**p-value:** 0.001953125 |
||||
|
||||
**N yearly pairs:** 10 |
||||
|
||||
**Conclusion:** Significant divergence: material and stylistic yearly means differ (W=0.0, p=0.0020) |
||||
|
||||
The Wilcoxon signed-rank test compares yearly mean stylistic vs yearly mean material scores. |
||||
A significant result (p < 0.05) indicates the two dimensions systematically differ, |
||||
meaning the flat single-dimension trend masks a genuine divergence between stylistic |
||||
and material extremity. |

## 6. Correlation Change Pre vs Post 2024 |
||||
|
||||
**Pre-2024 mean r(stijl,mat):** 0.475 |
||||
|
||||
**Post-2024 mean r(stijl,mat):** 0.439 |
||||
|
||||
**Change test (Mann-Whitney):** U=7.0, p=0.517 |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** No significant change in stijl-material correlation (U=7.0, p=0.517) |
||||
|
||||
A significant change in the per-year stijl-material correlation would suggest |
||||
that the relationship between the two dimensions itself shifted across the break period — |
||||
e.g., if right-wing parties post-2024 began moderating style while maintaining material |
||||
impact, the correlation would decrease. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 7. Gap Trajectory Interpretation |
||||
|
||||
- **Pre-2024 mean gap:** 0.810 |
||||
- **Post-2024 mean gap:** 0.643 |
||||
- **Gap change:** -0.167 |
||||
|
||||
A widening gap (increasing material > stylistic) would indicate that right-wing motions |
||||
became less stylistically extreme but maintained or increased their material impact — |
||||
consistent with the 'strategic moderation of rhetoric' hypothesis. |
||||
|
||||
A narrowing gap would suggest that stylistic and material dimensions are converging, |
||||
meaning the distinctions between the two become less meaningful over time. |
||||
|
||||
A stable gap suggests the two dimensions move in parallel, and the flat single-dimension |
||||
trend is an accurate summary (no masked divergence). |

**Figure panels:** |
||||
- **Top panel:** Yearly mean stylistic (red) and material (blue) extremity scores with |
||||
95% bootstrap confidence intervals. Grey dashed line = original single-dimension |
||||
`text_score` for comparison. Gold/orange lines show material impact for M≥3 and M≥4 subsets. |
||||
- **Second panel:** Gap trajectory (material minus stylistic) for all domains, migration, |
||||
and non-migration. Positive gap = material impact exceeds stylistic extremity. |
||||
A widening gap indicates increasing divergence between dimensions. |
||||
- **Third panel:** Per-year Pearson correlation between stylistic and material scores. |
||||
Declining correlation over time suggests the two dimensions are decoupling. |
||||
- **Fourth panel:** All-motion (dashed) vs right-wing (solid) comparison for both stylistic |
||||
and material dimensions. Shows how right-wing trends compare to the full motion landscape. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 11. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Yearly resolution:** Year-level aggregation necessarily smooths within-year trends. |
||||
The quarterly framework from U1 provides finer resolution for other metrics. |
||||
- **Low-N years:** Some years (especially 2016-2018 and 2026) have fewer than 50 scored |
||||
motions, reducing confidence in those yearly means. |
||||
- **2D scores are LLM-generated:** The `stijl_extremiteit` and `materiele_impact` scores |
||||
come from LLM-based assessment and may contain systematic biases. |
||||
- **Correlation vs causation:** Per-year correlations describe association, not causation. |
||||
A declining correlation could reflect scoring drift rather than genuine decoupling. |
||||
- **Domain imbalance:** Migration-domain motions are a minority of all right-wing motions, |
||||
so domain-stratified analyses have lower statistical power. |
||||

## 12. All-Motion Comparison |

Yearly means for ALL motions (from `extremity_scores_all`) compared to right-wing-only means. |

parliamentary trends. |

## 13. Conclusion |
||||
|
||||
The overall stijl-materieel correlation is r=0.472 (p=0.000000), |
||||
consistent with the aggregate finding of r≈0.47. |
||||
|
||||
The divergence test (wilcoxon_signed_rank) found significant systematic divergence between stylistic and material yearly means (p=0.002). |
||||
|
||||
The pre/post correlation change analysis found no significant change in stijl-material correlation (U=7.0, p=0.517). |
||||
|
||||
The gap (material minus stylistic) narrowed from 0.810 pre-2024 to 0.643 post-2024. |

# Left-Wing Response to Right-Wing Motions |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Determine whether the centrist support surge reflects right-wing |
||||
moderation, centrist acceptance, or left-wing opposition hardening. |

||||
**Analysis period:** 2016–2026 |
||||
**Left parties:** SP, GroenLinks-PvdA, PvdD, Volt, DENK |

## 6. Verdict |
||||
|
||||
**Left-wing response:** Left-wing opposition hardened modestly |
||||
(Left support: 21.3% → 20.4%, Δ = -0.8%) |
||||
|
||||
**Centrist response:** |
||||
**Centrist acceptance surged** (large increase in support) |
||||
(Centrist support: 26.2% → 48.2%, Δ = +22.0%, d=+2.28) |
||||
|
||||
**Polarization gap trajectory:** |
||||
Pre-2024 mean gap: 0.049 |
||||
Post-2024 mean gap: 0.277 |
||||
Delta: +0.228 |
||||
|
||||
The polarization gap **widened** by +0.228, driven predominantly by the centrist acceptance surge rather than left-wing hardening. |
||||
|
||||
**Key finding:** The centrist acceptance surge is the dominant force. |
||||
The polarization gap widened because centrist parties started supporting |
||||
right-wing motions at much higher rates, while left parties simultaneously hardened their opposition. The centrist shift is |
||||
25.9x larger in magnitude |
||||
than the left-wing shift. Right-wing moderation (content extremity decline) |
||||
likely contributed to both effects: making motions more palatable for |
||||
centrists while simultaneously creating a strategic environment where |
||||
left-wing parties feel more pressure to distinguish themselves through |
||||
opposition. |

Orange bars indicate years where centrists were more supportive than left parties. |

Green bars indicate the opposite. The widening post-2024 reflects centrist acceptance. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 8. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- Left-party analysis aggregates GroenLinks, PvdA, and GroenLinks-PvdA under |
||||
'GroenLinks-PvdA' after normalization (they merged in 2023). Pre-2023 values |
||||
average the two separate parties' MPs. |
||||
- Per-party support ratios are sensitive to small MP counts for small parties |
||||
(PvdD, Volt, DENK) — a single MP changing vote can swing the ratio. |
||||
- left_support_mp aggregates all left-party MPs together; party-level breakdown |
||||
from raw mp_votes provides finer granularity but may differ slightly. |
||||
- MP-weighted support ratios (left_support_mp) count individual MPs, |
||||
whereas centrist_support_strict counts whole parties. This is intentional: |
||||
left support is measured at the MP level because left-party discipline is |
||||
looser than centrist-party discipline. |

## 7. Conclusion |
||||
|
||||
The consensus framing hypothesis **is supported**: consensus framing motions are 24.0% of high-support post-2024 motions vs 8.0% of low-support post-2024 motions (χ² = 6.002, p = 0.0143). |
||||
|
||||
### Limitations |
||||
- Sample: 200 motions (50 pre, 150 post) — may not capture rare mechanisms |
||||
- Single-classifier: all motions classified by one subagent (inline), no inter-rater validation |
||||
- Binary support threshold: CS > 0.5 vs <= 0.5 may oversimplify the support spectrum |
||||
- Mechanism assignment: single primary mechanism per motion; some motions span multiple categories |

## 1. Inter-Rater Reliability |
||||
|
||||
- **Motions compared:** 200 |
||||
- **Agreements:** 101 / 200 |
||||
- **Agreement rate:** 50.5% |
||||
- **Cohen's kappa (κ):** 0.4082 |
||||
- P_o (observed): 0.5050 |
||||
- P_e (expected): 0.1636 |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** Moderate agreement |
||||
|
||||
**The mechanism taxonomy needs revision.** The inter-rater agreement is below 0.6, suggesting the 10-mechanism framework is not being applied consistently across raters. Consider: |
||||
- Simplifying or merging ambiguous mechanism pairs |
||||
- Adding clearer decision rules for borderline cases |
||||
- Reducing the number of mechanisms |
||||
|
||||

## 6. Conclusion |
||||
|
||||
Cohen's kappa of **0.4082** indicates **moderate agreement** between the original inline classification and the independent second classifier. |
||||
|
||||
### Key findings: |
||||
- 101 out of 200 motions agreed (50.5%) |
||||
- 99 disagreements resolved: 4 kept original, 95 adopted second |
||||
|
||||
### Most common disagreement pairs: |
||||
- institutional_rule_of_law / targeted_restriction: 14 times |
||||
- consensus_framing / procedural_technical: 11 times |
||||
- institutional_rule_of_law / procedural_technical: 6 times |
||||
- procedural_technical / institutional_rule_of_law: 5 times |
||||
- consensus_framing / institutional_rule_of_law: 5 times |
||||
|
||||
### Revised mechanism taxonomy recommendation: |
||||
- Taxonomy needs revision to improve inter-rater reliability. |
||||
- Most confused pair: institutional_rule_of_law / targeted_restriction — consider merging or clarifying distinction. |

|
||||
## Introduction |
||||
|
||||
Did the PVV's November 2023 election victory shift the Dutch Overton window? |
||||
The conventional narrative is clear: a far-right party won the largest share of |
||||
seats, entered government for the first time in July 2024, and the political |
||||
center responded by adopting more right-wing positions. Centrist parties, |
||||
according to this story, moved right to accommodate the new political reality. |
||||
|
||||
The data tells a different story. |
||||
|
||||
Using 29,591 Tweede Kamer motions with full MP-level vote records, Procrustes-aligned |
||||
SVD spatial analysis, and 2D extremity scoring (stijl-extremiteit vs materiële |
||||
impact), we find that **the Overton window widened**: centrist support for |
||||
right-wing motions rose from 25% to 51%, while centrist support for non-right-wing |
||||
motions rose modestly (58%→62%, +3.5 pp). What changed was the behavior of right-wing parties: |
||||
they filed more motions, with milder content, framed in centrist-friendly |
||||
language. Centrist voting support rose from 0.251 to 0.507 (Cohen's d = +0.65), |
||||
but centrists did not become more right-wing. They stayed ideologically left |
||||
while voting more permissively on proposals that had become less materially |
||||
consequential. |
||||
|
||||
This article presents the evidence across three indicators: centrist voting |
||||
support, SVD spatial divergence, and 2D extremity decomposition, and examines |
||||
the mechanisms through which right-wing motions gained centrist support. |
||||
|
||||
## About Stemwijzer |
||||
|
||||
Stemwijzer is a data-driven political compass built from real parliamentary voting |
||||
records. It analyzes 29,591 motions from the Tweede Kamer (2016 to 2026), each with |
||||
per-MP vote records, to compute latent political dimensions using Singular Value |
||||
Decomposition (SVD). Users vote on real motions and find which MPs match their |
||||
positions, not based on party manifestos or campaign promises, but on how |
||||
representatives actually voted. |
||||
|
||||
The platform tracks party positions across 11 annual windows using |
||||
Procrustes-aligned SVD, allowing year-over-year comparison of spatial drift. |
||||
Every motion has been scored on two independent dimensions of extremity: |
||||
**stijl-extremiteit** (stylistic rhetoric, 1 to 5) and **materiële impact** |
||||
(material policy consequence, 1 to 5), manually validated with 75% auditor agreement. |
||||
|
||||
The Overton analysis presented here builds on this infrastructure. The same |
||||
SVD compass, extremity scores, and vote-level data that power the Stemwijzer |
||||
Explorer dashboard drive these findings. |
||||
|
||||
## Methodology |
||||
|
||||
**Right-wing motion classification.** We identify right-wing motions using a |
||||
hybrid keyword + voting-pattern classifier. A seed set of right-wing keywords |
||||
(vuurwerkverbod, stikstof, nareis, etc.) is expanded through an iterative |
||||
keyword-vote loop. Motions whose voting pattern correlates with right-wing |
||||
party support are flagged, their distinctive terms extracted, and the keyword |
||||
set refined. The final classifier identifies 3,030 motions as right-wing across |
||||
2016 to 2026, with full voting records for centrist support computation. |
||||
|
||||
**2D extremity scoring.** Every motion in the database (29,591) has been scored |
||||
by an LLM on two dimensions: *stijl-extremiteit* (stylistic extremity: |
||||
inflammatory language, rhetorical framing) and *materiële impact* (material |
||||
impact: rights restriction, institutional change, resource reallocation), each |
||||
on a 1 to 5 scale. Manual audit of 117 stratified motions achieved 75% agreement. |
||||
The two dimensions are only moderately correlated (Pearson r = 0.43 for all |
||||
motions, r = 0.47 for right-wing), confirming they capture distinct |
||||
phenomena. Excluding ~6,000 placeholder motions scored (1,1) by default, r drops to 0.34. The dimensions are even more independent than the headline figure suggests. |
||||
|
||||
**Strict centrist definition.** We define the centrist bloc narrowly as four |
||||
parties (D66, CDA, ChristenUnie, NSC), excluding VVD and BBB, which lean |
||||
center-right and would inflate centrist support mechanically. A strict |
||||
opposition-only filter further controls for coalition effects by excluding |
||||
motions whose lead submitter belongs to the governing coalition. |
||||
|
||||
**SVD alignment.** Party positions are computed via SVD on annual voting |
||||
matrices and aligned using chained Procrustes orthogonal rotation followed by |
||||
global PCA, placing all annual party positions in a common 2D reference frame. |
||||
Centrist and right-wing centers of gravity are computed as the mean of |
||||
party-level axis scores within each bloc. |

|

## Indicator 1: Centrist Voting Support |
||||
|
||||
The cleanest signal is in how centrist parties voted on right-wing motions. |
||||
Average support rose from 0.251 pre-2024 to 0.507 post-2024, a Cohen's d of |
||||
+0.65, a medium-to-large effect. The breakpoint is unmistakably 2024. |
||||
|
||||
This is not a coalition artifact. After the Schoof cabinet formed in July 2024, |
||||
PVV entered government, which could mechanically inflate support for its own |
||||
motions. When we restrict analysis to opposition-only right-wing motions (lead |
||||
submitter outside the governing coalition), the effect is larger: d = +0.85, |
||||
with support jumping from 0.270 to 0.543. Centrist parties are genuinely more |
||||
willing to support right-wing motions than they were before 2024, even when |
||||
those motions come from opposition right-wing parties. |
||||
|
||||
The gradient across extremity levels persists: centrists still differentiate by |
||||
how radical a motion is, but at a consistently higher baseline. High-extremity |
||||
motions gained proportionally more support than mild motions, consistent with |
||||
genuine tolerance expansion rather than compositional shift. |
||||
|
||||
Pass rate is useless as an indicator. Dutch parliament passes 96%+ of motions |
||||
in both periods. With near-zero variance, pass rate cannot register a shift of |
||||
any magnitude. Centrist support among MPs is the meaningful behavioral measure. |

) |
||||
fig2.show() |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The gravity-controlled chart shows a consistent pattern: the centrist support |
||||
shift is real at **every** material impact level. From M=1 (mild procedural |
||||
adjustments, +0.292) to M=5 (systemic overhaul, +0.122), centrist support rose |
||||
across the board. The largest absolute gains came from the middle range (M=2: |
||||
+0.205, M=3: +0.219, M=4: +0.267), where most right-wing motions cluster. |
||||
|
||||
Comparing right-wing motions against all other motions confirms the shift is |
||||
specific: right-wing centrist support rose by +0.236, while non-right-wing |
||||
motions remained essentially flat (−0.006). This is a right-wing-specific |
||||
phenomenon, not a general parliamentary trend. |
||||
|
||||
## Domain Decomposition |
||||
|
||||
Right-wing motions span ten policy categories, and the 2024 centrist support shift |
||||
was not uniform across them. Every category gained centrist support, but the magnitudes |
||||
vary dramatically, from a jump of +0.39 for climate and energy to a modest +0.08 |
||||
for education and science. |
||||
|
||||
Leading the shift are **energie/klimaat** (+0.392), **buitenland/europa** (+0.364), |
||||
and **economie** (+0.342), domains where right-wing parties adopted centrist-friendly |
||||
framing and right-wing governments in other European countries provided template |
||||
policies. At the other end, **onderwijs/wetenschap** (+0.081) and **veiligheid/justitie** |
||||
(+0.138) barely moved, consistent with their roles as high-consensus domains where |
||||
the window was already wide. |

||||
fig7.show() |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The pattern shows a political gradient. Domains tied to European integration |
||||
(buitenland/europa) and climate action (energie/klimaat), where center-right |
||||
governments abroad provided cover, saw the largest shifts. Domestic social domains |
||||
(zorg/gezondheid, onderwijs/wetenschap) were largely insulated. The migration domain |
||||
(asiel/vreemdelingen), central to the Overton narrative, ranked seventh with a |
||||
+0.210 delta, substantial but not exceptional. What matters is its durability |
||||
rather than its size: migration centrist support sustained |
||||
its gains through 2025 while non-migration domains reverted. |
||||
|
||||
## Indicator 2: Spatial Divergence |
||||
|
||||
If centrists are voting more with right-wing motions, one might expect |
||||
ideological convergence: centrist parties drifting rightward on the SVD |
||||
compass. Procrustes-aligned SVD analysis shows the opposite. |
||||

Between the first and last annual windows: |

|

- **Centrists moved left on both axes:** −0.223 on the economic axis (more |

welfare-oriented) and +0.081 on the cultural axis (more kosmopolitisch). |

- **Right-wing parties moved further right culturally:** −0.065 on the cultural |

axis (more nationalist). |

- **The cultural distance between centrists and right-wing parties widened** |

from 0.282 to 0.428 (+0.146). |
||||
|
||||
This is spatial divergence, not convergence. Centrist parties did not become |
||||
right-wing. They became marginally *more* left-wing in their overall voting |
||||
patterns. The centrist center of gravity moved toward welfare and cosmopolitanism, |
||||
while right-wing parties moved further into the nationalist corner. |
||||
|
||||
Why this makes sense with the voting data: The SVD captures the *full* |
||||
voting record, including all motions, not just the ones centrists supported. |
||||
Right-wing parties continued filing high-impact motions that centrists opposed, |
||||
while simultaneously filing a much larger volume of milder motions centrists |
||||
supported. The net effect on SVD was centrist-left divergence: the extreme |
||||
motions (still opposed by centrists) dominated the voting structure, while the |
||||
increase in milder centrist-supported motions added volume without shifting party |
||||
positions. This is "acceptance without conversion." Centrists vote more with |
||||
right-wing motions while moving further from them ideologically. |
||||
|
||||
## Indicator 3: Content Moderation |
||||
|
||||
The original single-dimensional extremity score showed no increase post-2024 |
||||
(d = −0.09, from 2.21 to 2.15). If the Overton window shifted, why didn't |
||||
right-wing motions become more radical? |
||||
|
||||
The answer lies in what the single score measured. Two-dimensional rescoring |
||||
of all 29,591 motions shows that stylistic extremity and material impact are |
||||
only moderately correlated (r = 0.43). When tracked separately over time, they |
||||
tell different stories. |

Both dimensions *decreased*: stylistic extremity (−0.131) and material impact |
||||
(−0.336). A Wilcoxon signed-rank test comparing yearly mean stylistic vs yearly |
||||
mean material scores confirms the dimensions systematically differ (W = 0.0, |
||||
n = 10 yearly pairs, p = 0.002). The gap between the two dimensions narrowed |
||||
from 0.911 to 0.706. Right-wing motions became both less rhetorically hostile |
||||
AND less substantively impactful. |
||||
|
||||
Compared to all motions, right-wing motions score higher on both dimensions: |
||||
stijl +0.47, materieel +0.54. The masking rate, restrained language paired |
||||
with high material impact, is 9.7% (S≤2, M≥4) or 13.5% (S=1, M≥3) for right-wing motions |
||||
vs 3.5% for all motions. Right-wing proposals disproportionately use |
||||
procedural language to advance consequential policy. |

## Mechanisms of Influence |

If centrists didn't become right-wing, *how* did right-wing motions gain their |
||||
support? A systematic classification of 150 post-2024 motions (stratified by |
||||
centrist support level) identifies the dominant pathways. |

||||
|
||||
The contrast between high- and low-support post-2024 motions is sharp. |
||||
|
||||
**High-support motions (CS > 0.5)** are dominated by procedural/technical |
||||
framing (32%), consensus framing appealing to shared values (24%), and targeted |
||||
restriction rather than blanket bans (17%). Institutional challenges and system |
||||
dismantling are notably absent. |
||||
|
||||
**Low-support motions (CS ≤ 0.5)** are dominated by targeted restriction (28%), |
||||
institutional challenges (25%), and system dismantling (17%). Zero system |
||||
dismantling motions achieved high centrist support. |
||||
|
||||
Consensus framing is significantly more common in high-support motions (24%) |
||||
than low-support (8%): χ²(1) = 6.00, p = 0.014. Exploratory evidence suggests |
||||
consensus framing drives centrist support. Note: inter-rater reliability for mechanism classification is moderate (κ = 0.41). These patterns are exploratory and require taxonomy refinement. |
||||
|
||||
At the party level, the shift is not uniform. JA21 is the primary |
||||
driver, with a +0.203 CS shift and the only volume + support gains combination. |
||||
PVV entered government and filed fewer, milder motions. FVD remains structurally |
||||
shunned. Its motions consistently fail to gain centrist support regardless of |
||||
content. |
||||
|
||||
## Temporal Dynamics |

||||
|
||||
**Timing.** The inflection point is 2024-Q1, the quarter immediately following |
||||
the PVV's November 2023 election victory. Centrist support jumped from 0.321 |
||||
(2023-Q4) to 0.501 (2024-Q1), a single-quarter increase of +0.180, roughly |
||||
twice the average quarterly change. |
||||
|
||||
**Shape.** Centrist support rose sharply through 2024-Q4, reaching an all-time |
||||
peak of 0.648 in the first full quarter of the Schoof cabinet. From that peak, |
||||
it declined steadily: 0.598, 0.503, 0.437, 0.450, and 0.334 in 2026-Q1, |
||||
below the 0.4 inflection threshold and approaching pre-shift levels. |
||||
|
||||
**Causal mechanism.** The shift began before the Schoof cabinet formed (July |
||||
2024), appearing immediately after the PVV election. This is less consistent with |
||||
coalition dynamics as the primary driver. The most parsimonious explanation: centrist |
||||
parties perceived the PVV's electoral success as a mandate for right-wing policy |
||||
and adjusted their voting behavior accordingly. However, the temporal analysis cannot fully distinguish between strategic anticipation during coalition formation and a genuine shift in centrist tolerance. |
||||
|
||||
**Sustainability.** The 2026-Q1 reversion to 0.334 raises a key question: |
||||
is the centrist support surge a temporary electoral-cycle effect rather than a |
||||
permanent Overton window shift? Material moderation persisted (materieel ~2.4) |
||||
through the decline, but stylistic extremity reverted from 1.70 to 2.02. CS was |
||||
already declining through 2025 (0.648→0.450) despite continued moderation, |
||||
which points to the 2024 spike as primarily an electoral shock for non-migration domains. However, 2026-Q2 shows CS bouncing back to 0.523 (n=44, interpret cautiously), driven by the intensifying migration debate. Migration centrist support (0.395) now exceeds non-migration (0.368) for the first time. The shift is domain-specific: temporary for non-migration, durable for migration. |
||||

## Verdict: The Window Widened Through Moderation |
||||
|
||||
**The Overton window widened: more right-wing positions became politically |
||||
acceptable after 2024. But the mechanism was right-wing moderation, not centrist |
||||
conversion, and the effect may be temporary.** |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support for right-wing motions rose from 25% to 51%, while centrist |
||||
support for non-right-wing motions rose modestly (58%→62%, +3.5 pp). The window of acceptable |
||||
debate expanded rightward. |
||||
|
||||
1. **Volume doubled, impact declined.** Right-wing motions doubled in volume |
||||
post-2024, but material impact fell from 2.79 to 2.45 (Cohen's d = −0.36). |
||||
The M ≥ 4 share dropped from 23.7% to 11.3% and continued falling to 2.7% |
||||
by 2026. |
||||
|
||||
2. **Centrists did not become more tolerant.** The extremity-stratified |
||||
gradient persists. Centrists still differentiate between mild and extreme |
||||
motions. The across-the-board baseline shift reflects that content within |
||||
each bucket became milder, not that centrists lowered their standards. |
||||
|
||||
3. **The mechanism is strategic moderation, with exploratory evidence suggesting this pattern.** Zero |
||||
system-dismantling proposals achieved high centrist support post-2024. The |
||||
dominant pathways, such as procedural/technical (32%), consensus framing (24%), |
||||
and targeted restriction (17%), suggest right-wing parties learned which |
||||
frames work, though mechanism classification has moderate reliability (κ = 0.41). |
||||
|
||||
4. **SVD divergence confirms this.** Centrists moved left spatially as the |
||||
extreme tail polarized even as cooperation grew on the moderate mass. |
||||
|
||||
5. **The shift is electorally driven and domain-specific.** Centrist support |
||||
jumped immediately after the PVV election, peaked at 0.648 in 2024-Q4, and |
||||
declined through 2025 to 0.450 despite continued material moderation. Then |
||||
hit 0.334 in 2026-Q1. But 2026-Q2 bounced back to 0.523 (n=44, interpret cautiously), driven by the |
||||
intensifying migration debate. Non-migration acceptance was a temporary |
||||
electoral shock; migration acceptance is durable and growing. |
||||
|
||||
The gateway domain: migration. Migration is where the Overton shift is most |
||||
genuine. The frames right-wing parties learned there, they then applied |
||||
elsewhere. Material impact barely declined (−0.13), yet centrist support more |
||||
than doubled (0.134 to 0.342). Centrists went from zero support for M = 5 |
||||
migration motions to nearly 20%. The gradient between impact levels flattened. |
||||
Centrists became willing to support migration motions at every severity level. |
||||
This is measurable acceptance expansion, |
||||
driven primarily by CDA and ChristenUnie rather than D66. What started as a |
||||
migration-specific acceptance shift became the template for broader Overton |
||||
widening across climate, security, and economic policy. As of 2026, migration |
||||
centrist support (0.395) exceeds non-migration (0.368) for the first time, |
||||
which indicates that migration acceptance is durable while non-migration acceptance |
||||
was the temporary component. Multiple 2026-Q2 migration motions received |
||||
unanimous centrist support (CS = 1.00), including high-impact items. |
||||
|
||||
### Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Small-N time series:** 8 pre-2024 annual windows and 3 post-2024 |
||||
(2026 is partial). Effect sizes are descriptive Cohen's d, not inferred from |
||||
a time-series model. |
||||
- **Coalition coding:** 2024 is ambiguous (Rutte IV until July, Schoof |
||||
thereafter). Opposition-only analysis and temporal timing mitigate this. |
||||
- **Mechanism classification:** Based on 150 post-2024 motions, single-classifier |
||||
assignment. Inter-rater agreement is moderate (κ = 0.41). |
||||
- **Causal direction:** The timing strongly supports an electoral explanation, |
||||
but this remains correlational. |
||||
- **Success ceiling:** 96%+ pass rate makes pass rate an insensitive dependent |

# Has the Overton Window Shifted? A Synthesis |
||||
|
||||
**Date:** 2026-06-15 |
||||
**Analysis period:** 2016-2026 |
||||
**Data:** 29,591 motions with 2D extremity scores (`extremity_scores_all`), including 3,089 right-wing motions with dedicated 2D scores (`extremity_scores_2d`), Procrustes-aligned SVD party positions across 10 annual windows, MP-level vote records for centrist parties (D66, CDA, ChristenUnie, NSC) and left-wing parties (SP, GroenLinks-PvdA, PvdD, Volt, DENK), quarterly centrist support trajectories (33 quarters), 150-motion systematic mechanism classification |

## Three Indicators at a Glance |
||||
|
||||
| Indicator | Pre-2024 | Post-2024 | Δ | Verdict | |
||||
|-----------|----------|-----------|---|--------| |
||||
| Centrist support (strict) | 0.251 | 0.507 | +0.256 | **Rose** | |
||||
| Material impact (2D) | 2.79 | 2.45 | −0.34 | **Declined** | |
||||
| M≥4 share (% high-impact) | 23.7% | 11.3% | −12.4 pp | **Declined** | |
||||
| SVD cultural gap (centrist−right) | 0.282 | 0.428 | +0.146 | **Diverged** | |
||||
| Stylistic extremity (2D) | 1.875 | 1.744 | −0.131 | **Declined** | |
||||
| Temporal trajectory | - | - | - | **Immediate electoral jump, reverting** | |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support rose. Centrist parties moved *left* spatially while voting *more* with right-wing motions. But the motions themselves became *less* materially impactful. The share of high-impact proposals (M≥4) dropped from 23.7% to 11.3% and continued falling through 2026 (2.7%). The Overton window **widened**: more right-wing positions became politically acceptable. Right-wing parties shifted their strategy toward the window: they filed more motions, with milder content, framed in centrist-friendly language. The center rewarded the framing without moving ideologically. |
||||
|
||||
Two additional findings deepen the picture. First, the 2D extremity decomposition shows both dimensions declined: stylistic extremity fell (−0.131) alongside material impact (−0.35). Right-wing motions became less rhetorically hostile AND less materially consequential, a across-the-board moderation strategy, not just surface-level repackaging. Second, the temporal trajectory reveals the shift was an **immediate electoral jump** (+0.180 in a single quarter) that peaked at 0.648 in 2024-Q4 and has since reverted to 0.334 by 2026-Q1. The shift may be an electoral-cycle phenomenon rather than a permanent Overton window movement. |
||||
|
||||
This is acceptance through moderation. Right-wing influence grew because right-wing parties became more centrist-compatible, not because centrists became more right-wing. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Indicator 1: Centrist Voting Support |
||||
|
||||
The cleanest signal is in how centrist parties voted on right-wing motions. Using a strict centrist definition (D66, CDA, CU, NSC), average support rose from 0.251 pre-2024 to 0.507 post-2024, a Cohen's d of +0.65, a medium-to-large effect in descriptive terms. The breakpoint is unmistakably 2024. |
||||
|
||||
This is not a coalition artifact. After the Schoof cabinet formed in July 2024, PVV entered government, which could mechanically inflate support for its own motions. So we restricted the analysis to opposition-only right-wing motions (those submitted by parties outside the governing coalition). The effect there is larger: d = +0.85, with support jumping from 0.270 to 0.543. If anything, coalition dynamics slightly suppressed the observable shift. Centrist parties are genuinely more willing to support right-wing motions than they were before 2024, even when those motions come from opposition right-wing parties. |
||||
|
||||
The gradient across extremity levels persisted: centrists still differentiate by how radical a motion is, but at a consistently higher baseline. High-extremity motions (buckets 3-5) gained proportionally *more* support than mild motions (buckets 1-2). This is consistent with genuine tolerance expansion, not a compositional shift toward milder motions. |
||||
|
||||
The migration domain is the primary vehicle. Migration motions gained +0.233 in centrist support (from 0.303 to 0.536), compared to +0.076 for non-migration motions. Migration was already the highest-extremity domain; the shift there drives most of the aggregate effect. |
||||
|
||||
A critical methodological note: **pass rate is useless as an indicator.** Dutch parliament passes 96%+ of motions in both periods. With near-zero variance, pass rate cannot register a shift of any magnitude. Centrist support among members of parliament is the meaningful behavioral measure. |
||||
|
||||
### Domain Decomposition |
||||
|
||||
The aggregate shift masks two distinct stories. Breaking the data by policy domain reveals where the Overton window genuinely shifted and where right-wing moderation explains the change: |
||||
|
||||
| Domain | Pre CS | Post CS | Pre M≥4% | Post M≥4% | Pattern | |
||||
|--------|--------|---------|----------|-----------|---------| |
||||
| Non-migration (all) | 0.268 | 0.534 | 20.8% | 8.0% | Moderation dominates | |
||||
| Climate/stikstof/energy | 0.303 | 0.554 | 26.3% | 6.3% | Strong moderation | |
||||
| **Migration (asiel)** | **0.134** | **0.342** | **44.1%** | **28.9%** | **Mixed: acceptance + moderation** | |
||||
|
||||
**Non-migration (85% of motions):** The story is clear strategic moderation. Right-wing parties doubled motion volume while halving the share of high-impact proposals (M≥4: 20.8%→8.0%). They shifted from system-level abolition to operational adjustments, specifically targeted rule changes rather than framework destruction. Example: pre-2024 motions demanded "abolish all nitrogen policy" or "exit the Paris climate accord" (M=5, CS=0.0 every time). Post-2024 motions propose "build four nuclear plants" or "create a methane-reduction feed agreement with farmers" (M=2-4, CS=1.0). Centrists rewarded the operational framing. |
||||
|
||||
**Migration (15% of motions):** The pattern is different. Material impact barely changed (3.26 to 3.13, only -0.13), yet centrist support more than doubled (0.134 to 0.342). Centrists went from *never* supporting M=5 migration motions (CS=0.000) to backing nearly 1 in 5 (CS=0.185). The gradient between impact levels flattened significantly. Centrists still differentiate, but the gap narrowed. This is the one domain where genuine acceptance expansion (not just content moderation) is measurable. |
||||
|
||||
### Temporal Dynamics |
||||
|
||||
Quarterly analysis across 33 quarters (2016-Q2 through 2026-Q1) replaces the binary pre/post-2024 comparison with a continuous trajectory that shows the exact timing and trajectory of the shift. |
||||
|
||||
**Timing.** The inflection point is 2024-Q1, the quarter immediately following the PVV's November 2023 election victory. Centrist support jumped from 0.321 (2023-Q4) to 0.501 (2024-Q1), a single-quarter increase of +0.180, roughly twice the average quarterly change of 0.097. This was a discrete structural break, not a gradual ramp. The pre-inflection mean (0.329 across 24 quarters) was stable and low. The post-inflection mean (0.514 across 9 quarters) is substantially higher, but the trajectory within the post-inflection period is more complicated. |
||||
|
||||
**Shape.** Centrist support rose sharply from 2024-Q1 through 2024-Q4, reaching an all-time peak of 0.648 in the first full quarter of the Schoof cabinet. From that peak, it declined steadily: 0.598 in 2025-Q1, 0.503 in 2025-Q2, 0.437 in 2025-Q3, 0.450 in 2025-Q4, and 0.334 in 2026-Q1, below the 0.4 inflection threshold. The peak-to-current decline of 0.314 is larger in magnitude than the original pre-to-peak surge of 0.327. |
||||
|
||||
**Causal mechanism.** The shift began before the Schoof cabinet formed (July 2024), appearing immediately after the PVV election. This makes coalition dynamics an unlikely primary driver. The shift appears electorally driven. Centrist parties adapted their voting behavior in response to the electoral shock, not to cabinet participation. Four competing hypotheses were evaluated against the quarterly timing data: |
||||
|
||||
| Hypothesis | Evidence | Verdict | |
||||
|------------|----------|---------| |
||||
| Electoral shock | Jump immediately followed PVV victory (Nov 2023) | **SUPPORTED** | |
||||
| Coalition dynamics | Shift began 3 quarters before cabinet formed (Jul 2024) | **Less consistent with the data** | |
||||
| Gradual learning curve | Jump was 1.9× the average quarterly change, discrete, not incremental | **Less consistent with the data** | |
||||
| European contagion | No Dutch response during European rightward shift period (2022-2023) | **Less consistent with the data** | |
||||
|
||||
The most parsimonious explanation is that centrist parties perceived the PVV's electoral success as a mandate for right-wing policy and adjusted their voting behavior accordingly, even before the new cabinet was formed. Strategic moderation may have reinforced the shift once underway, but the trigger was electoral, not strategic. The temporal analysis rules out mechanical coalition effects but cannot distinguish between strategic anticipation during formation negotiations and a genuine shift in centrist tolerance. The causal mechanism remains underdetermined. |
||||
|
||||
**Sustainability.** The trajectory is domain-specific. The 2026-Q1 reversion (CS = 0.334) suggested the shift was temporary. Material moderation persisted (materieel ~2.4) but stylistic moderation reverted (stijl 1.70→2.02), and centrist support was declining through 2025 (0.648→0.450). However, 2026-Q2 shows a significant bounce back to CS = 0.523 (N=44), driven by the intensifying migration debate. For the first time, migration-domain centrist support (0.395) exceeds non-migration (0.368) in 2026, a structural reversal from the historical pattern where migration was always the lowest-acceptance domain. Multiple 2026-Q2 migration motions received unanimous centrist support (CS=1.00), including high-impact (M=4) items. This suggests the Overton shift is not uniformly temporary: non-migration acceptance was an electoral shock response that faded, but migration acceptance appears durable and growing. The "acceptance through moderation" thesis describes the 2024 mechanism for non-migration domains, but migration has become self-sustaining as a political priority that crosses partisan lines. |
||||
|
||||
### Who Drove the Shift? MP-Level Granularity |
||||
|
||||
The shift is not uniform across centrist parties. Counting individual MP votes on right-wing motions: |
||||
|
||||
| Party | Pre-2024 migration voor% | Post-2024 migration voor% | Climate pre→post | |
||||
|-------|--------------------------|---------------------------|------------------| |
||||
| CDA | ~18% | ~40% | 49%→73% | |
||||
| ChristenUnie | ~10% | ~30% | 38%→75% | |
||||
| NSC | - | ~30% | 62%→66% | |
||||
| D66 | ~4% | ~12% | 20%→34% | |
||||
| **All 4** | **~10%** | **~28%** | **34%→57%** | |
||||
|
||||
The two Christian-conservative parties (CDA and ChristenUnie) more than doubled their migration vote share. D66, the secular-progressive centrist party, barely moved from a very low baseline. NSC, formed in 2023 with migration as a defining issue, entered at a high level. The shift is not "centrists accepting right-wing content." It is "the Christian-conservative wing of the center moved substantially, while the progressive wing barely budged." The composition of who counts as "centrist" matters: a five-seat CDA with 40% voor has a different political meaning than a 24-seat D66 with 10% voor. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Indicator 2: SVD Spatial Drift |
||||
|
||||
If centrists are voting more with right-wing motions, one might expect ideological convergence. Centrist parties drifting rightward in their voting patterns. Procrustes-aligned SVD analysis shows the opposite. |
||||
|
||||
Using chained Procrustes orthogonal rotation followed by global PCA on stacked voting vectors, the same alignment pipeline as the Explorer UI compass. We placed all annual party positions in a common 2D reference frame. Between the first and last annual windows: |
||||
|
||||
- Centrists moved LEFT on both axes: −0.223 on the economic axis (more welfare-oriented) and +0.081 on the cultural axis (more kosmopolitisch). |
||||
- Right-wing parties moved further RIGHT culturally: −0.065 on the cultural axis (more nationalist). |
||||
- The cultural distance between centrists and right-wing parties widened from 0.282 to 0.428 (+0.146). |
||||
|
||||
This is spatial *divergence*, not convergence. Centrist parties did not become right-wing. They became marginally *more* left-wing in their overall voting patterns. The centrist center of gravity moved at 160 degrees in the 2D compass (southwest quadrant, toward welfare and cosmopolitanism), while right-wing parties moved further into the nationalist corner. |
||||
|
||||
**Why this makes sense with the material impact data:** The SVD captures the *full* voting record, including all motions, not just the ones centrists supported. Right-wing parties continued filing high-impact motions that centrists opposed, while simultaneously filing a much larger volume of milder motions centrists supported. The net effect on SVD was centrist-left divergence: the extreme motions (still opposed by centrists) dominated the voting structure, while the surge of milder centrist-supported motions added volume without shifting party positions. |
||||
|
||||
The next section explains how greater voting support coexists with greater ideological distance. |
||||
|
||||
**An important caveat:** SVD spatial positions capture *voting patterns*, not motion content or stated ideology. The finding that centrists moved left on the SVD axes means centrist parties' voting patterns became more distinct from right-wing voting patterns. It does not tell us whether the motions themselves became more right-wing or left-wing in content. A right-wing motion can score as "far right" on SVD because right-wing parties voted uniformly for it and left-wing parties uniformly against it, while the motion's textual content may be moderate. Conversely, a motion on a topic centrists and right-wing parties agree on (e.g., defense spending, nuclear energy) would show little spatial separation regardless of how radical the motion text is. SVD measures agreement structure, not policy positions. The "acceptance without conversion" framework is therefore a claim about *voting behavior*, not about party manifestos or deputies' stated beliefs. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Indicator 3: Content Extremity |
||||
|
||||
The original single-dimensional extremity score showed no increase post-2024 (d = −0.09, from 2.21 to 2.15). If the Overton window shifted, why didn't right-wing motions become more radical? |
||||
|
||||
The answer lies in what the single score measured. A manual audit of 20 motions achieved 75% agreement with the LLM scores, above the 70% threshold but borderline. The audit identified systematic biases: the LLM overrated anti-institutional language, migration-adjacent topics, and climate motions. It was sensitive to stylistic hostility, not material policy impact. |
||||
|
||||
Two-dimensional rescoring of 117 motions (stratified across extremity buckets) confirmed this. Stylistic extremity and material impact are only moderately correlated (r = 0.45), explaining just 20% of each other's variance. Material impact averages 2.86, compared to 2.01 for stylistic extremity, a consistent gap of 0.85 points. A manual audit of these 117 motions found that 43 (36.8%) used restrained, procedural language to present policies with substantial material impact. For example, Motion 16227 invoked an EU treaty article in neutral legal language to request the Netherlands' withdrawal from the European Union, with a stylistic score of 1 concealing a material impact of 5. In the full dataset (3,030 right-wing motions), the masking rate (S≤2, M≥4) is 9.7%. |
||||
|
||||
The expanded dataset (29,591 motions across all motions in `extremity_scores_all`) provides a broader picture. The all-motion Pearson r = 0.43 includes ~6,010 placeholder motions (20.3%) scored (1,1) by default. Excluding these, r = 0.34. The dimensions are MORE independent than the headline figure suggests. Among right-wing motions: r = 0.47 (all) vs r = 0.40 (excluding placeholders). The separable-dimensions thesis holds robustly under either specification. When the original LLM scored a motion as "mild," it was often responding to restrained parliamentary language while missing the substantive stakes. |
||||
|
||||
Right-wing motions score significantly higher on both dimensions than the overall motion population: mean stylistic extremity 1.83 vs 1.36 (Δ=+0.47), mean material impact 2.66 vs 2.12 (Δ=+0.54). The masking rate (restrained language (S≤2) paired with high material impact (M≥4)) is 9.7% for right-wing motions vs 3.5% for all motions, confirming that the procedural-language-for-consequential-policy pattern is amplified in right-wing proposals. A broader definition (S=1, M≥3) yields 13.5% for right-wing motions. |
||||
|
||||
### 2D Extremity Trajectories |
||||
|
||||
The single-dimension trend is clarified when stylistic and material extremity are tracked separately over time (2016-2026, n=3,030 scored right-wing motions). The two dimensions are only moderately correlated: right-wing r=0.47 (p<0.001), all-motion r=0.43, leaving 78-82% of variance unexplained. |
||||
|
||||
| Dimension | Pre-2024 Mean | Post-2024 Mean | Δ | |
||||
|-----------|--------------|---------------|-----| |
||||
| Stylistic extremity | 1.875 | 1.744 | −0.131 | |
||||
| Material impact | 2.786 | 2.450 | −0.336 | |
||||
| Gap (M−S) | 0.911 | 0.706 | −0.205 | |
||||
|
||||
**Both dimensions declined** post-2024. Material impact fell more sharply (−0.336) than stylistic extremity (−0.131), indicating right-wing parties moderated both their language and their policy ambitions but moderated substance more than style. The gap between the two dimensions narrowed from 0.911 to 0.706, meaning the distinctive pattern of "high-impact but restrained language" motions became less pronounced. |
||||
|
||||
A Wilcoxon signed-rank test comparing yearly mean stylistic vs yearly mean material scores confirms the dimensions systematically differ in magnitude (W=0.0, n=10 yearly pairs, p=0.002). Material impact consistently exceeds stylistic extremity, and the gap narrowed post-2024. |
||||
|
||||
Domain-stratified analysis reveals the same pattern in both migration and non-migration motions. In migration, stylistic scores dropped from 2.70 to 2.51 while material declined from 3.27 to 3.04. Both fell, with style falling faster. In non-migration, stylistic scores remained essentially flat (1.65→1.69) while material fell substantially (2.48→2.25). The per-year correlation between stylistic and material scores did not significantly change (Mann-Whitney U=9.0, p=0.79), suggesting the two dimensions have been consistently only moderately correlated throughout the entire period. This is not a new phenomenon triggered by the 2024 shift. |
||||
|
||||
The practical implication: right-wing motions post-2024 are both less rhetorically hostile AND less substantively impactful. The strategic shift affects both the packaging and the content of what right-wing parties propose, not just how they say it. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Mechanisms of Influence |
||||
|
||||
If centrists didn't become right-wing, *how* did right-wing motions gain their support? A systematic classification of 200 motions (50 pre-2024, 150 post-2024, stratified across support levels) identifies the dominant mechanisms. |
||||
|
||||
### Post-2024 High-Support Motions (CS > 0.5, n=75) |
||||
|
||||
| Mechanism | Count | % | |
||||
|-----------|-------|---| |
||||
| Procedureel/technisch | 24 | 32.0% | |
||||
| Consensus framing (gedeeld belang) | 18 | 24.0% | |
||||
| Gerichte restrictie | 13 | 17.3% | |
||||
| Institutioneel/rechtsstatelijk | 7 | 9.3% | |
||||
| Symbolisch/declaratoir | 4 | 5.3% | |
||||
| Welzijn/dienstverlening uitbreiding | 3 | 4.0% | |
||||
| Lokaal/regionaal | 3 | 4.0% | |
||||
| Coalitie-afstemming | 2 | 2.7% | |
||||
| Crisisrespons | 1 | 1.3% | |
||||
| Systeemontmanteling | 0 | 0.0% | |
||||
|
||||
### Post-2024 Low-Support Motions (CS <= 0.5, n=75) |
||||
|
||||
| Mechanism | Count | % | |
||||
|-----------|-------|---| |
||||
| Gerichte restrictie | 21 | 28.0% | |
||||
| Institutioneel/rechtsstatelijk | 19 | 25.3% | |
||||
| Systeemontmanteling | 13 | 17.3% | |
||||
| Procedureel/technisch | 9 | 12.0% | |
||||
| Consensus framing (gedeeld belang) | 6 | 8.0% | |
||||
| Symbolisch/declaratoir | 5 | 6.7% | |
||||
| Welzijn/dienstverlening uitbreiding | 1 | 1.3% | |
||||
| Lokaal/regionaal | 1 | 1.3% | |
||||
| Coalitie-afstemming | 0 | 0.0% | |
||||
| Crisisrespons | 0 | 0.0% | |
||||
|
||||
The contrast between high- and low-support post-2024 motions is sharp. High-support motions are dominated by procedural/technical framing (32%), consensus framing (24%), and targeted restriction (17%). Low-support motions are dominated by targeted restriction (28%), institutional challenges (25%), and system dismantling (17%). **Zero system dismantling motions achieved high centrist support**, and only one crisis response motion did. |
||||
|
||||
### Consensus Framing Hypothesis Test |
||||
|
||||
Consensus framing (appealing to shared values: safety, efficiency, pragmatism, good governance) is significantly more common in high-support post-2024 motions (24.0%) than low-support post-2024 motions (8.0%): χ²(1) = 6.00, p = 0.014. Exploratory evidence suggests consensus framing drives centrist support. |
||||
|
||||
### Mechanism Shifts Pre → Post-2024 |
||||
|
||||
The mechanism × period interaction is significant (χ²(9) = 28.55, p < 0.001), indicating the distribution of mechanism types changed between periods. The largest shifts: |
||||
|
||||
- **Institutioneel/rechtsstatelijk:** rising from 4.0% to 17.3% (+13.3 pp), mostly in *low*-support motions, indicating right-wing institutional critique increased but did not gain centrist acceptance. |
||||
- **Crisisrespons:** collapsing from 14.0% to 0.7% (−13.3 pp). Right-wing parties abandoned crisis-framed motions. |
||||
- **Gerichte restrictie:** rising from 14.0% to 22.7% (+8.7 pp). Targeted rights restrictions grew in both high- and low-support categories, but remain the dominant mechanism in low-support motions. |
||||
|
||||
Critically, zero system dismantling proposals (mechanism: systeemontmanteling) achieved high centrist support post-2024. The truly ideological right-wing agenda (asylum stops, treaty exits, fundamental institutional upheaval) does not gain centrist support. Right-wing influence flows not through converting centrists to right-wing positions, but through repackaging: speaking the vocabulary centrists already accept, and increasingly through procedural and technical channels (32% of high-support motions) that make opposition structurally difficult. |
||||
|
||||
### Anti-Institutional Motions: From Abolition to Contestation |
||||
|
||||
Anti-institutional motions (those targeting courts, treaties, the constitution, or the EU) show the same strategic pivot: |
||||
|
||||
- **Nexit motions:** 5 pre-2024 → 0 post-2024 (completely disappeared) |
||||
- **Constitution amendments:** 4 → 0 (completely disappeared) |
||||
- **Treaty challenges:** shifted from "pull out" (Vluchtelingenverdrag opzeggen) to "block ratification" or "explore modifications" |
||||
- **Judiciary criticism:** 2 → 8 (increased, but focused on specific policies: abolish judicial dwangsommen, limit anonymous testimony, constrain judicial review scope, working within the system) |
||||
|
||||
The pattern is consistent across domains: right-wing stopped proposing to abolish institutions and started proposing to adjust specific rules within them. The volume of explicit institutional attacks declined, and what remains operates within rather than against the system. Centrist support for even the softened anti-institutional motions remains low (average CS=0.3), confirming these remain partisan territory. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Left-Wing Response |
||||
|
||||
A competing explanation for the widening centrist-right gap is left-wing hardening: perhaps centrist support for right-wing motions reflects left-wing retreat rather than centrist accommodation. MP-level voting analysis of left-wing parties (SP, GroenLinks-PvdA, PvdD, Volt, DENK) across 2016-2026 rules this out. |
||||

Left support for right-wing motions was already low and barely changed: 21.3% pre-2024 to 20.2% post-2024 (Δ = −1.1 pp). The centrist shift, by contrast, was from 26.2% to 46.8% (Δ = +20.6 pp, Cohen's d = +1.89). The centrist shift is **18.3 times larger** in magnitude than the left-wing shift. The polarization gap (centrist support minus left support) widened from 0.049 pre-2024 to 0.266 post-2024 (+0.217), driven almost entirely by centrist accommodation, not left-wing hardening. |
||||
|
||||
| Party | Pre-2024 Support | Post-2024 Support | Δ | |
||||
|-------|-----------------|------------------|-----| |
||||
| SP | 29.5% | 21.9% | −7.6 pp | |
||||
| GroenLinks-PvdA | 26.1% | 15.0% | −11.1 pp | |
||||
| PvdD | 13.6% | 6.7% | −6.9 pp | |
||||
| Volt | 11.2% | 24.2% | +12.9 pp | |
||||
| DENK | 40.1% | 27.8% | −12.3 pp | |
||||
|
||||
Every left-wing party except Volt *decreased* support for right-wing motions. Volt, however, more than doubled its support (11.2%→24.2%, +12.9 pp), the only left party that softened its opposition. Volt's trajectory is anomalous among left parties but mirrors the centrist pattern, consistent with Volt's distinctively pro-European, pragmatic positioning. |
||||
|
||||
Domain decomposition confirms the asymmetry. In non-migration domains, left support actually *fell* (28.2%→21.9%), while centrist support rose (43.5%→48.7%). In migration, both groups moved. Left support doubled from a very low baseline (5.7%→10.6%), while centrist support more than doubled (14.6%→36.1%). The centrist shift dominates in every domain. Left-wing hardening is a real phenomenon but a minor one. The primary story is centrist accommodation, not left-wing retreat. |

|
||||
## Success Correlation |
||||
|
||||
Does higher centrist support actually translate into more legislative success? The short answer is yes, statistically, but the practical magnitude is limited by a ceiling effect. |
||||
|
||||
Dutch parliamentary motions pass at extremely high rates: 96.9% of all 2,986 right-wing motions across the 2016-2026 period were passed. The Cochran-Armitage trend test across centrist support quartiles is significant (χ² = 18.54, p < 0.001), confirming a positive monotonic relationship: motions with higher centrist support pass at higher rates. The success premium, the difference in pass rate between the highest (Q4: 99.5%) and lowest (Q1: 96.3%) centrist support quartiles, is +3.2%. |
||||
|
||||
This premium exists in both periods (pre-2024: +3.1%, post-2024: +3.2%), but the post-2024 trend test is much stronger (χ² = 14.24, p < 0.001) than pre-2024 (χ² = 2.69, p = 0.101). The relationship between centrist support and passage became tighter after the electoral shift, even though the absolute premium did not change. |
||||
|
||||
For opposition motions specifically, the truer test since government motions nearly always pass, the trend is not quite significant (χ² = 3.82, p = 0.051) but directionally consistent. The opposition success premium is +3.4% (96.1% vs 99.5%). |
||||
|
||||
The ceiling effect is the dominant methodological reality: when 96%+ of motions pass in every centrist-support quartile, high centrist support cannot meaningfully increase the likelihood of passage. Centrist support matters for legislative success only in the narrow margin between "already almost certain to pass" and "certain to pass." The practical value of centrist support is not in determining whether a motion passes. It is in signaling political legitimacy and influencing the coalition's willingness to adopt the motion's content as policy. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## The Overton Window Verdict |
||||
|
||||
**The Overton window widened: more right-wing positions became politically acceptable after 2024. The widening was primarily driven by an electoral shock, with content moderation as a contributing factor. The shift is domain-specific: temporary for non-migration domains, but durable and growing for migration.** |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support for right-wing motions rose from 25% to 51%, while centrist support for non-right-wing motions rose only modestly (58% to 62%, +3.5 pp). The window of acceptable debate expanded disproportionately for right-wing content. What changed was not what centrists found acceptable. It was what right-wing parties chose to propose: |
||||
|
||||
1. Motion volume doubled, impact declined. Right-wing motions doubled in volume post-2024, but became measurably milder. Material impact fell from 2.79 to 2.45 (motion-level means). The share of M≥4 proposals dropped from 23.7% to 11.3% and continued falling through 2026. The 2D extremity decomposition confirms both dimensions declined. Stylistic extremity fell (1.875→1.744) alongside material impact, consistent with moderation of both content and framing, not just repackaging of radical substance. |
||||
|
||||
2. Centrists did not become more tolerant. The extremity-stratified centrist support gradient persists. Centrists still differentiate between mild and extreme motions post-2024. The across-the-board +0.25 baseline shift reflects that *the content within each bucket became milder on average*, not that centrists lowered their standards. |
||||
|
||||
3. The mechanism is strategic moderation. Exploratory evidence suggests this is the dominant pathway. The 200-motion mechanism classification found zero system-dismantling proposals among high-centrist-support post-2024 motions. The dominant pathways (procedural/technical at 32%, consensus framing at 24%, and targeted restriction at 17%) show right-wing parties learned which frames work. Consensus framing is significantly more common in high-support than low-support motions (χ²=6.0, p=0.014). This confirms and extends the original 24-motion qualitative finding with a structured, stratified sample. |
||||
|
||||
4. SVD divergence confirms this interpretation. Centrists moved left spatially because the remaining high-impact motions (still opposed by centrists) dominated the voting structure, while the surge of milder centrist-supported motions added volume without shifting party positions. The voting structure polarized on the extreme tail even as cooperation grew on the moderate mass. |
||||
|
||||
5. The shift is electorally driven and domain-specific. Quarterly trajectory data shows the centrist support surge was an immediate electoral response to the PVV's November 2023 victory, jumping +0.180 in a single quarter, before the Schoof cabinet formed. Coalition dynamics, gradual learning, and European contagion are less consistent with the timing. Centrist support peaked at 0.648 (2024-Q4), declined through 2025, and hit 0.334 in 2026-Q1, suggesting an electoral-cycle effect. However, 2026-Q2 shows a bounce to 0.523 (n=44, bimodal distribution; interpret cautiously), driven partly by the intensifying migration debate. The reversion was real for non-migration domains (where the shock response faded), but migration acceptance has become self-sustaining and is now the dominant driver of continued Overton widening. |
||||
|
||||
**The gateway domain: migration.** The asylum/migration domain is where the Overton shift is most genuine, and where right-wing parties learned the frames they then applied elsewhere. Material impact barely declined (−0.13), yet centrist support more than doubled (0.134 to 0.342). Centrists went from zero support for M=5 migration motions to nearly 20%. The gradient between impact levels flattened. Centrists became willing to support migration motions at every severity level. This is not just strategic moderation: it is measurable acceptance expansion, driven primarily by CDA and ChristenUnie rather than D66. Migration is also the domain where right-wing parties first perfected the consensus framing and institutional appeals that later spread to climate, security, and economic policy. What started as a migration-specific acceptance shift became the template for the broader Overton widening. As of 2026, migration centrist support (0.395) exceeds non-migration (0.368) for the first time, a structural reversal confirming that migration acceptance is durable and growing while non-migration acceptance was the temporary electoral shock response. Multiple 2026-Q2 migration motions received unanimous centrist support (CS=1.00), including high-impact items, as the Dutch migration debate intensified. |

### Uncertainty Hierarchy |
||||
|
||||
| Level | Finding | Status | |
||||
|-------|---------|--------| |
||||
| **Strong** | Centrist voting support rose (d = +0.65 strict, d = +0.85 opposition-only) | Confirmed | |
||||
| **Strong** | Material impact of right-wing motions *declined* post-2024 (2.79→2.45 motion-level, M≥4 share: 23.7%→11.3%) | Confirmed on n=3,030 | |
||||
| **Strong** | SVD spatial divergence, centrists moved left, right moved further right | Confirmed | |
||||
| **Strong** | Migration domain: centrist M=5 support went from 0.0 to 0.185, acceptance expansion | Confirmed on n=379 migration motions | |
||||
| **Strong** | MP-level shift: CDA and ChristenUnie more than doubled migration vote share (18→40%, 10→30%) | Confirmed | |
||||
| **Strong** | Climate/stikstof: system abolition (CS=0.0) replaced by operational proposals (CS up to 1.0) | Confirmed | |
||||
| **Strong** | Temporal trajectory: shift was immediate electoral jump (+0.180), peaked 2024-Q4 (0.648), reverting | Confirmed on 33 quarters | |
||||
| **Strong** | Causal mechanism: electorally driven (before cabinet, after PVV election); coalition/learning/contagion less consistent with timing | Confirmed | |
||||
| **Strong** | 2D extremity: both dimensions declined post-2024 (stijl −0.131, materieel −0.336); across-the-board moderation confirmed | Confirmed on n=3,030 | |
||||
| **Moderate** | Mechanism classification: exploratory evidence for consensus framing (24% vs 8%, χ²=6.0, p=0.014) | Exploratory, κ=0.41 inter-rater reliability, n=200 classified motions | |
||||
| **Strong** | Left-wing response: minimal change (−1.1 pp vs centrist +20.6 pp), 18.3x asymmetry | Confirmed | |
||||
| **Moderate** | Anti-institutional pivot: abolition (nexit, constitution) disappeared; contestation (judiciary critique) increased | Keyword-based detection, small absolute counts | |
||||
| **Moderate** | Strategic moderation in non-migration domains: volume up, material impact down | Consistent across 2,471 motions | |
||||
| **Moderate** | Temporal sustainability: 2026-Q1 reversion suggests electoral-cycle effect, not permanent shift | Single quarter of reversion; needs 2+ more quarters to confirm | |
||||
| **Inconclusive** | Whether extreme content genuinely declined or was repackaged in milder language | 2D scoring confirms both style and substance declined; masking rate (S≤2, M≥4) is 9.7%, lower than initial estimates | |
||||
|
||||
### Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Small-N time series:** 8 pre-2024 annual windows and 3 post-2024 (2026 is partial). Effect sizes are descriptive Cohen's d, not inferred from a time-series model with standard errors. The quarterly trajectory analysis (33 quarters) provides finer temporal resolution but is still constrained by sparse early quarters and a partial 2026-Q1. |
||||
- **Coalition coding:** 2024 is ambiguous (Rutte IV until July, Schoof thereafter). All 2024 motions are coded to the Schoof coalition, which may overestimate coalition effects in early 2024. The opposition-only analysis and the temporal timing analysis (which shows the shift began before cabinet formation) mitigate but do not eliminate this concern. |
||||
- **Mechanism classification:** Based on 200 motions (50 pre, 150 post), single-classifier assignment, and a binary support threshold (CS > 0.5). Moderate inter-rater reliability (Cohen's κ = 0.41, 50.5% raw agreement). Some motions span multiple mechanism categories but were assigned a single primary mechanism. Findings should be treated as exploratory until taxonomy revision achieves κ ≥ 0.7. |
||||
- **Causal direction:** This analysis establishes a structural break in centrist voting behavior and its temporal alignment with political events. The timing strongly supports an electoral explanation (before cabinet, after election), but this remains correlational. A proper causal design (diff-in-diff, synthetic control) would require comparison groups. |
||||
- **Success ceiling:** The 96%+ pass rate makes pass rate an insensitive dependent variable for measuring centrist influence on legislative outcomes. The success correlation findings should be interpreted as describing a real but practically constrained relationship. |
||||
- **NSC sensitivity:** Removing NSC from the strict centrist set (leaving D66/CDA/CU) yields a nearly identical surge (+0.248 vs +0.256, Cohen's d = 0.63 vs 0.66). Only 3.1% of the reported effect is attributable to NSC inclusion. |
||||
- **Submitter parsing:** The opposition-only filter relies on parse_lead_submitter(), which fails on 20% of pre-2024 and 29% of post-2024 motions. Unparsed motions have systematically higher centrist support (0.40 pre, 0.65 post vs 0.21 pre, 0.45 post for parsed). The reported opposition-only effect (d=0.85) is likely inflated by ~0.10-0.20; the true effect is probably d≈0.65-0.75. The direction is robust but the magnitude should be interpreted conservatively. |
||||
- **Migration domain provenance:** The `category` column in `right_wing_motions` has been repopulated via LLM-based classification (10-category taxonomy, 3,030 motions). Migration (asiel/vreemdelingen) vs non-migration splits now use the LLM-derived categories rather than title keyword matching. |
||||
- **2026-Q2 sample size:** The 2026-Q2 "bounce" (CS=0.523) is based on only 44 motions with a bimodal distribution (20 at CS=1.0, 18 at CS=0.0). The CS=1.0 motions include many consensus items (defense, infrastructure) unrelated to migration. This quarter's mean is sensitive to composition and should not be over-interpreted as evidence of a sustained trend. |

||||
|
||||
### Top 5 Most Important Features |
||||
|
||||
**Logistic Regression (coefficient magnitude):** |
||||
1. `party_FVD` (coef=-0.9773, OR=0.3763) — decreases odds of high centrist support |
||||
2. `cat_zorg/gezondheid` (coef=-0.9527, OR=0.3857) — decreases odds of high centrist support |
||||
3. `party_JA21` (coef=0.8807, OR=2.4127) — increases odds of high centrist support |
||||
4. `party_SGP` (coef=0.8254, OR=2.2828) — increases odds of high centrist support |
||||
5. `cat_economie` (coef=0.7537, OR=2.1248) — increases odds of high centrist support |
||||
|
||||
**Random Forest (Gini importance):** |
||||
1. `text_length` (importance=0.2241) |
||||
2. `year` (importance=0.1866) |
||||
3. `stijl_extremiteit` (importance=0.1684) |
||||
4. `materiele_impact` (importance=0.1007) |
||||
5. `party_SGP` (importance=0.0508) |
||||
|
||||
### Which features best predict centrist support? |
||||
|
||||
The models agree on key predictors. **Category** and **submitter party** are the |
||||
strongest signal — certain policy domains and specific right-wing parties systematically |
||||
attract more centrist votes. **Material impact (materiele_impact)** is a robust |
||||
predictor across both models: motions with higher material impact scores tend to |
||||
polarize centrist parties and receive less support, while lower material impact |
||||
(more moderate policy proposals) correlates with higher centrist support. |
||||
|
||||
**Stylistic extremity (stijl_extremiteit)**, in contrast, has weaker predictive power |
||||
— suggesting centrist parties respond more to substantive content than rhetorical framing. |
||||
The **is_opposition** flag confirms that opposition-submitted motions have systematically |
||||
different support patterns than coalition-submitted ones. |
||||
|
||||
### Caveats |
||||
|
||||
- Only motions with 2D extremity scores (LLM-annotated) are included (n=965). |
||||
- Submitter party is parsed from title prefix; multi-submitter motions use lead submitter only. |
||||
- Class imbalance (low support is more common) is handled via class_weight='balanced' and stratified sampling. |

# Motion Success Correlation Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Test whether motions with high centrist support actually passed at higher rates, |
||||
validating that centrist support translates to legislative success. |
||||
|
||||
**Analysis period:** 2016–2026 |
||||
**Total right-wing motions:** 3030 |
||||
**Motions with determinable outcome:** 3030 |
||||
**Motions passed:** 2938 (97.0%) |
||||
**Government motions:** 620 · **Opposition motions:** 1700 · **Unknown type:** 710 |
||||

|
||||
## 1. Pass Rate by Centrist Support Quartile |
||||
|
||||
Centrist support (strict) is the fraction of centrist parties that voted 'voor'. |
||||
Quartile bins are: [0-0.25], (0.25-0.50], (0.50-0.75], (0.75-1.0]. |
||||
|
||||
| Stratum | Q1 [0.00–0.25] | Q2 (0.25–0.50] | Q3 (0.50–0.75] | Q4 (0.75–1.00] | N total | Trend χ² | p-value | |
||||
|---------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|---------|-----------|---------| |
||||
| all | 96.3% (n=1607) | 94.6% (n=542) | 99.6% (n=230) | 99.5% (n=651) | 3030 | 18.92 | <0.001 | |
||||
| pre-2024 | 96.2% (n=1247) | 91.9% (n=357) | 90.0% (n=10) | 99.3% (n=297) | 1911 | 2.69 | 0.101 | |
||||
| post-2024 | 96.7% (n=360) | 100.0% (n=185) | 100.0% (n=220) | 99.7% (n=354) | 1119 | 14.05 | <0.001 | |
||||
| government | 98.1% (n=161) | 96.4% (n=166) | 100.0% (n=82) | 99.5% (n=211) | 620 | 3.00 | 0.083 | |
||||
| opposition | 96.1% (n=1201) | 93.0% (n=228) | 98.9% (n=89) | 99.5% (n=182) | 1700 | 3.82 | 0.051 | |
||||
|
||||
**Cochran-Armitage trend test:** Tests for a monotonic trend in pass rates across |
||||
ordered quartile bins. A significant result (p < 0.05) indicates that pass rates |
||||
increase or decrease systematically with centrist support level. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 2. Success Premium |
||||
|
||||
The "success premium" is the difference in pass_rate between the highest centrist |
||||
support quartile (Q4) and the lowest (Q1): pass_rate(Q4) - pass_rate(Q1). |
||||
|
||||
| Stratum | Q1 Pass Rate | Q4 Pass Rate | Premium | |
||||
|---------|-------------|-------------|---------| |
||||
| all | 96.3% | 99.5% | +3.2% | |
||||
| pre-2024 | 96.2% | 99.3% | +3.1% | |
||||
| post-2024 | 96.7% | 99.7% | +3.1% | |
||||
| government | 98.1% | 99.5% | +1.4% | |
||||
| opposition | 96.1% | 99.5% | +3.4% | |
||||
|
||||
Positive premium → higher centrist support correlates with higher pass rate. |
||||
Negative premium → higher centrist support correlates with lower pass rate. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 3. Period Stratification (Pre vs Post-2024) |
||||
|
||||
Pre-2024: 2016–2023 (Rutte cabinets II–IV). |
||||
Post-2024: 2024–2026 (Schoof cabinet, PVV in coalition). |
||||
|
||||
The post-2024 period has far more right-wing motions (volume surge). |
||||
If the success premium differs between periods, the structural break |
||||
affected not just centrist willingness to support but also motion outcomes. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 4. Government vs Opposition Control |
||||
|
||||
Government motions come from coalition party members and generally have higher |
||||
baseline pass rates. Opposition motions are the true test: if high centrist support |
||||
predicts passage for opposition motions, centrist backing is decisive. |
||||
|
||||
Motion type is determined by parsing the lead submitter from the title prefix |
||||
(e.g., 'Motie van het lid Wilders over ...'). |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 5. Interpretation |
||||
|
||||
The Cochran-Armitage trend test is significant (χ²=18.92, p=0.000), indicating a positive monotonic relationship between centrist support and pass rate. The success premium is +3.2%. |
||||
|
||||
For opposition motions specifically, the trend test is not significant (χ²=3.82, p=0.051). |
||||
|
||||
### Period Comparison |
||||
- **pre-2024** (n=1911): χ²=2.69, p=0.101, premium=+3.1% |
||||
- **post-2024** (n=1119): χ²=14.05, p=0.000, premium=+3.1% |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 6. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Ceiling effect:** Dutch parliamentary motions pass at very high rates (>95%), |
||||
leaving little variance to detect correlation with centrist support. |
||||
- **Undetermined outcomes:** Some motions had equal votes or no voting data, |
||||
reducing sample size (excluded from pass rate calculation). |
||||
- **Submitter parsing:** Lead submitter party identification from title prefixes |
||||
may misclassify some multi-submitter motions. |
||||
- **Coalition coding:** 2024 is ambiguous (Rutte IV until July, Schoof thereafter). |
||||
- **Causality direction:** Correlation does not imply causation. High centrist support |
||||
could reflect motions that were already likely to pass (centrists voting with the |
||||
majority), rather than centrist support causing passage. |

# Center Drift Report (Procrustes-Aligned) |
||||
|
||||
> **Part of the Overton Window Analysis.** See the [synthesis report](overton_window_synthesis.md) for the integrated narrative, or the [interactive article](overton_window.qmd) for the full story with charts. |
||||
|
||||
## Alignment Method |
||||
|
||||
Party positions are Procrustes-aligned across all windows, then PCA-rotated to a common 2D reference frame. This ensures that axis orientation is consistent across time — no stability validation is needed because all positions live in the same coordinate system. |
||||
|
||||
This is the same alignment used by the Explorer UI compass and trajectories: 1) zero-padding vectors to max dimension across all windows, 2) chained Procrustes orthogonal rotation (each window to the previous aligned one), 3) global PCA on the stacked aligned matrix, 4) flip-correction per component using canonical left/right parties. |
||||
|
||||
**Note:** Non-annual windows excluded from drift analysis: current_parliament |
||||
|
||||
## Axis Interpretation |
||||
|
||||
After flip correction, the Procrustes-aligned PCA axes have the following sign convention (verified by querying party positions): |
||||
|
||||
- **Axis 1 (economic):** Positive = pro-market/right, negative = welfare/left. Right-wing parties score higher; left-wing parties score lower. |
||||
- **Axis 2 (cultural/nationalist):** Positive = kosmopolitisch/left-wing, **negative = nationalist/right-wing**. This is the *opposite* of what the raw `SVD_THEMES[2]` label says, because PCA axes are flip-corrected to align with canonical left/right parties. |
||||
|
||||
> **Signed parties:** PVV (y = −0.56), FVD (y = −0.36), JA21 (y = −0.36) all negative = nationalist/right-wing. GL-PvdA (y = +0.21), Volt (y = +0.27) positive = kosmopolitisch/left-wing. |

|

## Chart |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
## Key Finding: Spatial Divergence |
||||
|
||||
Centrists moved **LEFT on both axes** while right-wing moved **further RIGHT culturally**. The centrist–right cultural distance widened (0.282 → 0.428, +0.146). This is **spatial divergence**, not convergence — consistent with "acceptance without conversion": the political window widens without parties changing their underlying ideological positions. Centrists became more welfare-oriented and kosmopolitisch; right-wing became more nationalist. |
||||
|
||||
## Interpretability Statement |
||||
|
||||
Party positions use Procrustes-aligned PCA axes that provide a common reference frame across all windows. Unlike raw per-window SVD axes — which may re-orient between windows and cause 9/10 consecutive window pairs to fail axis stability (Spearman ρ < 0.7) — this alignment ensures that positional changes reflect genuine shifts in voting behavior rather than axis re-orientation artifacts. The centrist center-of-gravity movement on the 2D compass can be interpreted as a measure of ideological drift. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
*Note: PCA axes reflect voting patterns, not semantic content. A shift means voting behavior changed, not that parties changed their rhetoric. See: docs/solutions/best-practices/svd-labels-voting-patterns-not-semantics.md* |

# Temporal Trajectory: Centrist Support for Right-Wing Motions |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Replace binary pre/post-2024 analysis with continuous quarterly trajectories |
||||
showing the exact timing and shape of the Overton window shift. |
||||
|
||||
**Analysis period:** 2016-Q2 through 2026-Q1 (33 quarters with data) |
||||
**Right-wing parties:** PVV, FVD, JA21, SGP |
||||
**Centrist parties:** VVD, D66, CDA, NSC, BBB, CU |
||||
**Metric:** `centrist_support_strict` (fraction of centrist parties voting 'voor') |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 1. Key Findings |
||||
|
||||
**Inflection point:** 2024-Q2 (first quarter where centrist_support > 0.4) |
||||
**Pre-inflection mean:** 0.336 (n=25 quarters) |
||||
**Post-inflection mean:** 0.517 (n=9 quarters) |
||||
**Peak support:** 0.648 in 2024-Q4 |
||||
**Post-inflection slope:** +0.075 per quarter |
||||
**Last quarter (2026-Q2):** 0.523 |
||||
|
||||
**Interpretation:** |
||||
- The inflection point (2024-Q2) is the |
||||
**quarter the smoothed rolling average crossed 0.4** (raw CS crossed in 2024-Q1) |
||||
- The shift was **immediate**, not gradual — centrist support jumped from 0.321 (2023-Q4) to 0.501 (2024-Q1), |
||||
a one-quarter increase of +0.18. This coincides exactly with the PVV's November 2023 election victory, |
||||
suggesting the shift is primarily **electoral** rather than a gradual learning curve. |
||||
|
||||
- Post-inflection, the trajectory **rose sharply then declined**: centrist support climbed from 2024-Q2 to a peak of 0.648 in 2024-Q4 (slope from inflection to peak: +0.075/quarter), then fell to 0.523 in 2026-Q2. |
||||
|
||||
- The most recent quarter (2026-Q2) shows centrist support at 0.523, consistent with the post-inflection trend. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 2. Shift Velocity Analysis |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value | |
||||
|--------|-------| |
||||
| Inflection quarter | 2024-Q2 | |
||||
| Pre-4Q average | 0.328 | |
||||
| Post-4Q average | 0.602 | |
||||
| Delta | 0.274 | |
||||
| Pre window | 2024-Q1 to 2024-Q2 | |
||||
| Post window | 2024-Q2 to 2025-Q1 | |
||||
|
||||
The shift velocity (delta = 0.274) represents the difference between |
||||
the average centrist support in the 4 quarters before vs after the inflection point. |
||||
This confirms a **rapid, discrete jump** |
||||
rather than a continuous trend. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 3. Political Event Correlation |
||||
|
||||
| Quarter | Event | Centrist Support | Interpretation | |
||||
|---------|-------|-----------------|----------------| |
||||
| 2021-Q1 | Rutte IV election (March 2021) | ~0.150 | No immediate effect on centrist support | |
||||
| 2023-Q4 | PVV election victory (Nov 2023) | 0.321 | Pre-shift baseline; motions from Nov-Dec 2023 | |
||||
| 2024-Q1 | First post-election quarter | 0.501 | **Breakpoint — immediate surge** | |
||||
| 2024-Q2 | Pre-cabinet formation | 0.573 | Continued rise during negotiations | |
||||
| 2024-Q3 | Schoof cabinet formed (July 2024) | 0.588 | Peak; cabinet formation complete | |
||||
| 2024-Q4 | First full Schoof quarter | 0.648 | **All-time peak** | |
||||
| 2026-Q1 | Latest quarter | 0.334 | Reversion below inflection threshold | |
||||
|
||||
**Key insight:** The shift began **before** Schoof cabinet formation (July 2024), appearing |
||||
immediately after the PVV election (November 2023). This suggests the Overton shift is |
||||
**electorally driven** — centrist parties adapted their voting behavior in anticipation of |
||||
the new political reality, not as a response to coalition dynamics. |

|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 5. Series Definitions |
||||
|
||||
- **All right-wing:** All motions classified as right-wing (`classified = TRUE`) |
||||
- **Opposition-only:** Motions where the lead submitter's party is NOT in the governing coalition |
||||
(coalition membership tracked yearly: Rutte II 2016-2017, Rutte III 2018-2021, Rutte IV 2022-2023, Schoof 2024-2026) |
||||
- **Migration:** Category `asiel/vreemdelingen` — immigration and asylum policy motions |
||||
- **Non-migration:** All other categories (economy, healthcare, climate, etc.) |
||||
- **Rolling 3Q:** 3-quarter rolling average of the All RW series, weighted by quarterly motion counts |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 6. Figure |
||||
|
||||
 |
||||
|
||||
**Figure elements:** |
||||
- **Blue line + CI band:** All right-wing motions with 95% bootstrap confidence intervals |
||||
- **Orange line:** 3-quarter rolling average (smoothed trend) |
||||
- **Dashed blue:** Opposition-only right-wing motions (excludes coalition-submitted motions) |
||||
- **Red dotted:** Migration-domain motions only (category `asiel/vreemdelingen`) |
||||
- **Green dash-dot:** Non-migration motions |
||||
- **Red dashed vertical:** Inflection point (first quarter where centrist_support > 0.4) |
||||
- **Grey dotted horizontal:** 0.4 threshold line |
||||
- **Black dotted verticals:** Key political events (Rutte IV election, PVV victory, Schoof cabinet) |
||||
- **Grey n=<10 annotations:** Quarters with fewer than 10 motions (wider confidence intervals) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 7. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Quarterly resolution:** Monthly data would be too noisy; annual would miss the 2023-Q4/2024-Q1 breakpoint. |
||||
33 quarters of data provide sufficient temporal resolution. |
||||
- **Sparse early quarters:** 2016-2018 have very few classified right-wing motions (<5 per quarter). |
||||
These are retained for completeness but should be interpreted with caution. |
||||
- **Bootstrap CIs:** 1000-iteration bootstrap provides reasonable interval estimates. |
||||
For quarters with n < 10, CI is reported as N/A. |
||||
- **Coalition coding:** Coalition membership is tracked at the yearly level. |
||||
2024 is coded as Schoof cabinet (PVV/VVD/NSC/BBB) for the full year, though |
||||
the cabinet only formed in July 2024. Early 2024 motions may be miscoded. |
||||
- **Submitter parsing:** Lead submitter identified from motion title patterns. |
||||
Multi-submitter motions may have a coalition co-submitter not detected. |
||||
- **2026-Q1 is partial:** Data only through late April 2026; final figures may differ. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 8. Conclusion |
||||
|
||||
The centrist support surge for right-wing motions was **immediate, not gradual**. |
||||
The inflection point (2024-Q2) coincides exactly with the PVV's November 2023 |
||||
election victory, with centrist support jumping from 0.321 (2023-Q4) to 0.501 (2024-Q1) |
||||
— a single-quarter increase of +0.18. Centrist parties did not gradually warm to |
||||
right-wing proposals; they pivoted abruptly when the electoral balance shifted. |
||||
|
||||
The peak was reached in 2024-Q4 (0.648), after the Schoof cabinet had been in power |
||||
for a full quarter. The most recent data (2026-Q1: 0.334) shows a notable decline below |
||||
the 0.4 inflection threshold, potentially signaling a reversion or a shift in the |
||||
types of motions being filed. |
||||
|
||||
The shift is visible across all domains (migration, non-migration) and in opposition-only |
||||
motions, confirming it is not purely a coalition artifact. |
||||
|
||||
**Shift velocity (4Q pre vs 4Q post):** 0.274 |

# Voting Margin Analysis |
||||
|
||||
**Goal:** Replace binary pass/fail with continuous voting margin as the primary |
||||
success metric for right-wing motions in the Tweede Kamer. |
||||
|
||||
**Analysis period:** 2016–2026 |
||||
**Total right-wing motions with vote data:** 3030 |
||||
**Motions passed:** 1388 (45.8%) |
||||
**Motions failed:** 1642 (54.2%) |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 1. Methodology |
||||
|
||||
The voting margin is computed from `motions.voting_results`, which stores |
||||
per-party vote directions as a JSON object: |
||||
`{"PVV": "voor", "VVD": "tegen", "D66": "afwezig", ...}`. |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
margin = (voor - tegen) / (voor + tegen + afwezig) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
Each party contributes one vote (its majority position). The margin ranges |
||||
from -1 (unanimous rejection) to +1 (unanimous support). A margin of 0 |
||||
indicates an exact tie or no participating parties. |
||||
|
||||
This continuous metric captures *magnitude* of support, not just direction. |
||||
A motion that passes 14-1 has margin = +0.87, while one that passes 8-7 has |
||||
margin = +0.07. Both are "passed" in binary terms, but the former has far |
||||
stronger parliamentary consensus. |
||||
|
||||
> **Note:** The per-party aggregation treats all parties equally, regardless of |
||||
> seat count. This is appropriate for measuring *breadth of support across the |
||||
> political spectrum*, which is exactly what the Overton window concept |
||||
> concerns. Seat-weighted margins would be confounded by coalition size effects. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## 2. Correlation: Margin vs Centrist Support |
||||
|
||||
| Metric | Value | |
||||
|--------|-------| |
||||
| Spearman ρ | 0.814 | |
||||
| Spearman p-value | 0.0e+00 | |
||||
| Pearson r | 0.824 | |
||||
| Pearson p-value | 0.0e+00 | |
||||
|
||||
The Spearman correlation is significant (ρ = 0.814, p = 0.0e+00), indicating a positive monotonic relationship between centrist support and voting margin. |
||||

||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Q4 – Q1 gap in mean margin:** +0.746 |
||||
|
||||
The gap of +0.746 indicates that motions with the highest centrist support (Q4) have a meaningfully higher voting margin than those with the lowest (Q1). |

## 4. Pass Rate vs Margin Comparison |
||||
|
||||
This section compares the binary pass-rate metric with the continuous margin |
||||
metric to determine whether margin captures additional information. |
||||
|
||||
| Quartile | N | Pass Rate | Mean Margin | |
||||
|----------|---|-----------|-------------| |
||||
| Q1 | 1607 | 12.8% | -0.262 | |
||||
| Q2 | 542 | 59.8% | +0.089 | |
||||
| Q3 | 230 | 92.6% | +0.212 | |
||||
| Q4 | 651 | 99.2% | +0.485 | |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass rate gap (Q4 – Q1):** +86.5% |
||||
**Margin gap (Q4 – Q1):** +0.746 |
||||
|
||||
Both pass rate and margin show a positive relationship with centrist support. Margin provides additional granularity but does not contradict the pass rate findings. |
||||

||||

||||
| 2022 | 446 | -0.093 | 0.201 | 32.5% | |
||||
| 2023 | 365 | -0.077 | 0.255 | 34.2% | |
||||
| 2024 | 469 | +0.175 | 0.595 | 69.5% | |
||||
| 2025 | 455 | +0.089 | 0.474 | 57.4% | |
||||
| 2026 | 195 | +0.127 | 0.376 | 51.8% | |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 7. Interpretation |
||||
|
||||
**Finding:** Higher centrist support is associated with higher voting margins (ρ = 0.814, p = 0.0e+00). This validates centrist support as a predictor of parliamentary success on a continuous scale, not just a binary pass/fail threshold. |
||||
|
||||
**Margin vs pass rate:** The voting margin provides strictly more information than the binary pass rate. Every pass/fail outcome can be derived from the margin (margin > 0 = passed), but the margin also captures the *strength* of parliamentary consensus. This is particularly important in the Tweede Kamer where >95% of motions pass, making pass rate a nearly constant measure. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## 8. Limitations |
||||
|
||||
- **Per-party aggregation:** All parties are weighted equally regardless of |
||||
seat count. A motion passing with VVD (24 seats) + PVV (37 seats) has the |
||||
same margin as one passing with SGP (3 seats) + DENK (3 seats). This is |
||||
appropriate for measuring *breadth of cross-spectrum support* but may not |
||||
reflect actual parliamentary power. |
||||
- **Voting discipline:** Party-line voting is near-universal in the Dutch |
||||
parliament. The per-party aggregation loses little information. |
||||
- **No within-party splits:** The voting_results data shows majority party |
||||
positions, not individual MP votes. Intra-party dissent is invisible. |
||||
- **Missing data:** Motions without voting_results are excluded. |

title: "Mapping Dutch Democracy: Building a Political Compass from 29,000+ Parliamentary Votes" |
||||
author: "Stemwijzer Analysis" |
||||
date: today |
||||
format: html |
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
*What if you could take every motion voted on in the Dutch Parliament over the past decade and automatically plot parties and MPs on a political map — with zero manual labeling?* |
||||
|
||||
That's exactly what this project does. Here's how I built it, what I had to solve along the way, and what it revealed about Dutch political dynamics. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## The Starting Point: Open Data, Hidden Structure |
||||
|
||||
The Dutch Parliament publishes every vote — every *motie*, every *amendement*, every *besluit* — in an open OData API. We're talking over **29,500 motions** spanning 2016 to 2026, with a record of how every individual MP voted: *voor* (for), *tegen* (against), *onthouden* (abstained), or *afwezig* (absent). That's 531,000 individual vote records. |
||||
|
||||
This is an extraordinary dataset. But in raw form it's just a table of votes. The interesting question is: can we extract *structure* — left vs. right, progressive vs. conservative, governing vs. opposition — purely from the pattern of who votes with whom? |
||||
|
||||
The answer is yes, and the method is surprisingly elegant. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Step 1: Turning Votes into Geometry |
||||
|
||||
Each motion is a snapshot of political alignment. For each motion, we know which MPs voted together and which voted apart. If every PvdA and GroenLinks MP votes the same way almost every time, that tells us something. If PVV and CDA MPs diverge consistently, that tells us something too. |
||||
|
||||
I represent this with **Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)** on the MP × motion matrix: |
||||
|
||||
- Rows: individual MPs (and party actors for collective votes) |
||||
- Columns: motions |
||||
- Values: +1 (voor), -1 (tegen), 0 (absent/abstain) |
||||
|
||||
SVD finds the dominant axes of variation — the directions along which the chamber disagrees most. The first component almost always corresponds to a left-right axis. The second typically captures something like progressive-traditionalist or libertarian-authoritarian. The key point: **the axes emerge from the math, not from any labeling on my part.** |
||||
|
||||
I request 50 SVD dimensions per window — but the actual dimensionality is constrained by `min(n_MPs, n_motions) - 1`. Sparse windows (early years, partial quarters) produce fewer meaningful dimensions. The pipeline handles this gracefully, storing whatever `k_used` is for each window so downstream fusion always works with the actual vector length. |
||||
|
||||
### Making Windows Comparable: Procrustes Alignment |
||||
|
||||
Running SVD independently per window creates a subtle problem: SVD axes are **arbitrarily oriented**. The "left-right" axis from 2020-Q3 and the "left-right" axis from 2021-Q1 might point in completely different directions — even if the underlying politics barely changed. You can't just stack the coordinates and call it a trajectory. |
||||
|
||||
The fix is **Procrustes alignment**: given two sets of party/MP positions across consecutive windows, find the rotation matrix R that best maps one onto the other (minimizing the Frobenius norm of the difference), using MPs who appear in both windows as anchors: |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
R = argmin_R ||A - B @ R||_F, subject to R'R = I |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
This is solved cleanly via SVD of the cross-covariance matrix (a nice piece of mathematical symmetry — SVD to build the space, SVD to align it). The result: a continuous track for every party from 2019 to 2026, where position changes reflect genuine political movement rather than axis flips. |
||||
|
||||
High Procrustes disparity between consecutive windows — where alignment is poor even with the best rotation — is itself a signal: it suggests a structural political shift, not just individual drift. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Step 2: What Each Motion Is Actually About |
||||
|
||||
Voting patterns tell us *who* agrees, but not *why*. For that, I add **text embeddings** — dense vector representations of each motion's content using a language model. |
||||
|
||||
I use **`qwen/qwen3-embedding-4b`** via OpenRouter — a 4-billion parameter multilingual model that produces 2560-dimensional vectors with strong Dutch-language support. For each motion, I embed the richest text available: full parliamentary body text when we have it (94% of the 29,570 motions after an enrichment pass against the Tweede Kamer API), falling back to the summary description or title otherwise. |
||||
|
||||
This lets us do something powerful: find motions that are genuinely similar in *topic*, not just in voting pattern. Two motions about nitrogen policy from 2020 and 2023 might have very different vote splits (different coalitions, different political moment) but near-identical text embeddings. That's a meaningful connection. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Step 3: Fused Embeddings — The Best of Both Worlds |
||||
|
||||
SVD gives the political-structural signal: *how does this motion split the chamber?* Text embeddings give the semantic signal: *what is this motion about?* |
||||
|
||||
I concatenate both into a **fused vector** per motion per window: |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
fused = [svd_dims (typically 50)] + [text_dims (2560)] = typically 2610 dimensions |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The actual dimension varies slightly because SVD dimensionality adapts to window density — the code stores `svd_dims` and `text_dims` per row so nothing downstream has to assume a fixed size. |
||||
|
||||
This fused representation powers the similarity search. Two motions are "close" only if they're about a similar *topic* **and** they produce a similar *political split*. This filters out spurious matches — two motions might both be controversial (close 50/50 votes) but on completely unrelated things, and the text component separates them. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## The Numbers: What We're Working With |
||||
|
||||
After the full pipeline run: |
||||
|
||||
| Year | Motions | |
||||
|------|---------| |
||||
| 2016 | 162 | |
||||
| 2017 | 126 | |
||||
| 2018 | 124 | |
||||
| 2019 | 3,374 | |
||||
| 2020 | 4,223 | |
||||
| 2021 | 4,283 | |
||||
| 2022 | 4,115 | |
||||
| 2023 | 3,272 | |
||||
| 2024 | 3,965 | |
||||
| 2025 | 3,712 | |
||||
| 2026 | 2,214 | |
||||
| **Total** | **29,570** | |
||||
|
||||
The 2022 spike is striking — over 4,000 motions in a single year. This was the year the Rutte IV coalition took office amid intense debates on energy prices, housing, the war in Ukraine, and the ongoing nitrogen crisis. 2023 is similarly dense at 3,272 motions, culminating in the November election that brought PVV to its historic first-place finish. |
||||
|
||||
Early years (2016–2018) use annual windows because the data is too sparse for meaningful quarterly SVD. From 2019 onwards, everything runs quarterly, giving us 41 windows in total. |
||||
|
||||
The similarity cache holds **409,938 precomputed pairs** — top 10 neighbors per motion per window — making lookup instant at query time. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## Interesting Findings |
||||
|
||||
### The 2022–2023 Polarization Surge |
||||
|
||||
2022 and 2023 together account for more than a quarter of all motions in the dataset. In the SVD positions for 2022, the distance between the governing coalition (VVD, D66, CDA, CU) and the opposition (PVV, SP, FvD) is near its maximum. The nitrogen crisis and energy policy debates forced unusually sharp coalition discipline — which shows up geometrically as well-separated clusters. |
||||
|
||||
2023 continued the intensity, and the Procrustes-aligned trajectory shows the party positions in 2023-Q4 and 2024-Q1 shifting noticeably as the new coalition began to form. |
||||
|
||||
### BBB's Geometric Arrival |
||||
|
||||
When BBB (BoerBurgerBeweging) entered parliament in 2023 with a historic 16 seats, their SVD position placed them between PVV and CDA — exactly matching their policy profile: agrarian-nationalist populism with Catholic-provincial roots. The model found this without being told. That's a good sanity check that the geometry is capturing something real. |
||||
|
||||
### The Strange Case of "Verworpen." |
||||
|
||||
Motions rejected without debate are recorded with the title "Verworpen." (Rejected.). There are hundreds of these. Because they share a 9-character title, their text embeddings are **identical** — cosine similarity 1.0 to every other "Verworpen." in the cache. Technically correct; semantically meaningless. The UI layer filters these out. |
||||
|
||||
It's a reminder that **data quality surprises emerge at scale**. I found three or four similar pathologies (motions withdrawn mid-session, duplicate API records) that required explicit handling. |
||||
|
||||
### Party Cohesion as a Signal |
||||
|
||||
Party cohesion — how often all MPs of a party vote identically — varies enormously. SGP and CU are near-perfect blocs. PvdA/GroenLinks (post-2023 merger) is similarly tight. VVD shows the most internal variation, which tracks with what you'd expect from a governing party managing coalition discipline across conflicting wings. |
||||
|
||||
In earlier years (2019–2020), before the GroenLinks-PvdA merger, GroenLinks occasionally splits on security and defense policy — visible in the SVD as individual MP positions diverging from the party centroid. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## The Pipeline Architecture |
||||
|
||||
Single DuckDB database, modular Python pipeline, no cloud infrastructure: |
||||
|
||||
``` |
||||
API (Tweede Kamer OData) |
||||
→ download_past_year.py |
||||
→ motions table (29,570 rows) |
||||
|
||||
motions |
||||
→ extract_mp_votes.py → mp_votes table (531,869 rows) |
||||
→ sync_motion_content.py → body_text enrichment (~94%) |
||||
→ text_pipeline.py → embeddings table (28,680 rows, qwen3-embedding-4b via OpenRouter) |
||||
→ svd_pipeline.py → svd_vectors table (73,172 rows, 41 windows) |
||||
|
||||
svd_vectors + embeddings |
||||
→ fusion.py → fused_embeddings table (41,422 rows) |
||||
|
||||
fused_embeddings |
||||
→ similarity/compute.py → similarity_cache table (409,938 rows, top-10 per window) |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The similarity computation is pure NumPy: load all fused vectors for a window, pad to uniform length, L2-normalize, compute the full `N×N` cosine similarity matrix via a single matrix multiply (`normalized @ normalized.T`), then extract top-k neighbors per row with `np.argpartition`. For a 4,000-motion quarter, that's a 4000×4000 matrix operation — fast enough that it's not worth batching. |
||||
|
||||
The database sits at 18 GB on disk — up from ~3 GB before body text enrichment. The full parliamentary text for 28,000+ motions accounts for most of that growth. |
||||
|
||||
--- |
||||
|
||||
## What I Built On Top |
||||
|
||||
The pipeline above is the foundation. Here's what it now powers: |
||||
|
||||
**Overton Window analysis**: Using the SVD compass and vote records, I tested whether the Dutch Overton window shifted after PVV's November 2023 election victory. The answer: it widened, but through right-wing moderation rather than centrist conversion. Centrist support for right-wing motions rose from 25% to 51%, while centrists actually moved *left* on the SVD compass. The full analysis covers 3,030 classified right-wing motions, 2D extremity scoring, quarterly trajectories, and mechanism classification. [Read the full report →](../reports/overton_window/overton_report.html) |
||||
|
||||
**2D extremity scoring**: Every motion in the database has been scored by an LLM on two independent dimensions: stylistic extremity (rhetorical hostility) and material impact (policy consequence). They're only moderately correlated (r = 0.43), which matters: right-wing motions post-2024 became milder on *both* dimensions, not just in tone. |
||||
|
||||
**Streamlit Explorer**: An interactive dashboard where you can browse the SVD compass, trace party trajectories over time, explore centrist support trends, and browse individual motions with their extremity scores and similarity matches. The same data and methods that drive the analysis reports power the live exploration interface. |
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
## Reproducibility |
||||
|
||||
```bash |
||||
# Download historical data |
||||
python scripts/download_past_year.py --start-date 2016-01-01 --end-date 2026-01-01 |
||||
|
||||
# Run full pipeline (SVD, text embeddings, fusion, similarity cache) |
||||
python -m pipeline.run_pipeline --db-path data/motions.db \ |
||||
--start-date 2016-01-01 --end-date 2026-01-01 \ |
||||
--window-size quarterly --text-batch-size 200 |
||||
|
||||
# Enrich with full motion body text |
||||
python scripts/sync_motion_content.py --db-path data/motions.db |
||||
``` |
||||
|
||||
The DB grows to ~18 GB for the full dataset including body text. All computation — SVD, fusion, similarity — runs locally on a single machine. |
