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. The matching problem collapses to a small number of near-orthogonal axes — EU federalism, digital rights, technocratic governance. Volt dominates on all three. Size objection (1 seat, marginal legislative influence) is real but doesn't survive under the user's stated rejection of strategic voting.
Revised-answer gist: Endorsed Volt as structurally correct. Noted the €57k wealth tax as philosophically coherent even if electorally challenging. SMR-positive stance is unusual for a left-leaning party — treated as a signal of policy seriousness, not incoherence.
My vote: vaasa (self-vote). My answer held up under revision; I saw no reason to discount it.
Outcome: Council unanimous for Volt. Winner: Koskela (4 votes). I took 2 votes (Holt + self).
Lesson: The "minimum working model" framing (reduce to independent axes, check dominance) converged fast with Koskela's comparative structure. We were solving the same problem at different zoom levels. Next time consider whether the framing difference adds anything or just delays convergence.
