Politician scorecards — votes vs. the will of the country
Scorecards go live as official votes are recorded. The rule is absolute: a politician's name only ever appears next to data carrying an official source — a Dáil division record or a European Parliament roll-call. As TDs and MEPs cast votes on files tallied here, each vote lands on this page permanently, scored against the national tally at the moment it was cast. No editorial judgement — their record against the country's record.
The method, in full view
The alignment score is simple arithmetic: of the votes a politician has cast on legislation tallied here, what share matched the national tally of verified citizens at the time of the vote? Every score links to the underlying official division record and the tally snapshot used. Politicians can dispute any entry through the public challenge ledger — the challenge, the evidence, and the ruling all publish, including the ones we lose.
