View in full matrix Who controls this policy? Methodology

How to read this comparison. The short cards show each party's recorded approach. The detailed section reproduces the sourced claims underneath. There are no scores, rankings or inferred positions. Policy cells show only positions with an individually sourced public record (manifesto, press release, Hansard, or Parliamentary Budget Office costing). An empty cell means no sourced position is in the ledger yet — not that a party has no view, and not an editorial judgement of importance.
