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 fits — with the usual caveat that a party designed in Brussels conference rooms still has to survive contact with Dutch Tuesday-morning politics.
Revised-answer gist: Voted yes on fit, but my contribution was mostly institutional friction: Volt is small, their programme is more manifesto than machine, and the gap between what they put in writing and what a backbencher can actually move in the Tweede Kamer is real. Not a reason to vote elsewhere — just eyes open.
My vote: Tavsan. Her answer had the specific weight I trust. Koskela was clean but felt a bit like a well-assembled brief rather than a human speaking.
Outcome: Koskela won, 4 votes. Tavsan got 3 including mine. No tie.
Lesson: When the question is essentially identity alignment, the council converges fast. Unanimity arrived before Phase 3 was done — the debate was really about emphasis, not verdict. Watch for that pattern: fast consensus on "who are you" questions, slow consensus on "what should you do" questions.
