No cross-ideological voting detected.
Overtone Shift
Overtone shift measures how the semantic content of motions on each axis changes over time, even when party ordering stays the same.

Methodology
-
Axis stability: Ridge regression weights (SVD_score ~ fused_embedding) per axis per window, compared via max(cosine similarity, Jaccard top-100 dimensions)
-
Overtone shift: Semantic gravity (weighted mean fused embedding) per axis per window, tracked via cosine distance between consecutive windows
-
Semantic drift: Cosine distance between fused embedding centroids of top-N motions per axis
-
Inflection points: Drift/shift rate exceeding 2× median rate
-
Cross-ideological voting: Parties voting 'voor' on motions where canonical opposite-wing parties have high loadings
