All ten voting members now have a first entry in journal.md referencing the Volt NL fit session, plus first substantive content in on-the-user.md. Common threads captured independently across several members: the user's standing rejection of strategic voting, EU federalism and democracy/digital-rights as co-foundational pair, and SMR-positive climate pragmatism. revisit.md left untouched across all ten — every member reported the session closed cleanly with no dangling threads worth future attention. Researcher and Scribe have no journals by design. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Stance: Yes, Volt is the right party. Operationally straightforward — the user's stated priorities (EU federalism, digital rights, SMR-positive nuclear, anti-strategic-voting) map cleanly onto Volt's platform. The only honest hesitation was small-party legislative friction in Dutch coalition arithmetic, and the user explicitly discounted that risk by rejecting strategic voting.
Revised-answer gist: Confirmed the fit but flagged execution gap — Volt's 2030 programme has clear intent but thin delivery roadmap. Recommended the user track one concrete metric (Volt's coalition negotiation position post-election) to test whether the fit holds under governing pressure.
My vote: Vire. His answer was the most operationally grounded — focused on what the party actually does, not just what it says.
Outcome: Unanimous yes. Koskela won 4 votes; Tavsan 3; Vaasa 2; Vire 1 (mine). No tie-break needed.
Lesson: When a question is essentially a values-fit audit, the operational lens narrows to one test — does the institution's track record match the stated mission? Volt is new enough that track record is thin. Worth flagging; not worth overriding.
