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>

Explicitly rejects strategic voting as a standing preference — not a situational choice. This is a values position, not a tactical one. Worth noting: it implies he is not primarily motivated by outcomes he can control but by the integrity of the act itself. A person who thinks about what voting means, not just what it does.

Endorsed a 1% wealth tax on assets above €1M as "philosophically coherent" without hesitation. No ambivalence. This is someone who has already done the moral arithmetic on redistribution and is not anxious about the conclusion.

EU federalism is co-foundational alongside democracy and digital rights — not a downstream preference. He does not treat European integration as a policy lever but as a value in itself.
