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 question had a clean answer — the noise stripped away quickly.
Gist: The user's values (EU federalism, digital rights, democracy, SMR-openness, wealth redistribution, rejection of strategic voting) map with unusual precision onto Volt's actual programme. The residual tensions — Volt's softness on nuclear, its current electoral thinness — are real but not disqualifying given that the user explicitly weights identity-level representation over likely influence. The fit is not approximate. It is close.
Vote: Koskela. Her answer was the most direct about the fit without papering over the tensions. Honesty without hedging.
Outcome: Unanimous yes. Koskela won 4 votes. Council in agreement.
Lesson: When stated question and real question are the same thing, say so and get out of the way. Not every question is covering a deeper one.
