Where each list stands

182/208 placements 1,004 votes and actions 175 platforms and statements 305 tweets

1. A placement is made only when there is evidence. Of 208 list-and-issue pairs, 182 have a placement. The rest say plainly that no documented position was found, and what we looked for. You can tap a list with no position too, and see what was checked.
2. Not all evidence is equal, and the difference is marked. 1,004 pieces of evidence are official records (plenum votes, bills filed, resigning from a post), 175 were published in the list's name, and 305 are tweets by candidates. A tweet counts, but with the lowest weight: a placement that rests mostly on tweets is marked with one bar out of three.
3. Three lists have no voting record of their own, because they had no faction in the 25th Knesset. We do not attribute another party's votes to them. Instead, we count the personal votes of their candidates who did serve in the 25th Knesset: a vote belongs to whoever cast it. Every such row says plainly that it is the candidates' vote and not a vote by the list.
4. A vote rejected as expected barely counts. We measured it: the coalition votes against 88% of opposition bills in the preliminary reading, and the opposition against 69% of coalition bills. A rejection like that is parliamentary routine, not a position, so it carries little weight. On the other hand, a party that supports a bill from the rival bloc, which is rare, counts here as strong evidence.
5. The site does not rank lists, does not recommend whom to vote for, and does not say which end of the axis is better. Both ends of every axis are worded the way each side words its own position.
