Evidence / side by side

Compare the candidates

Seventeen propositions across nine policy areas. Each public cell uses one of five factual states and links back to its evidence.

There is no total. Adding unlike records together would create a verdict the evidence does not support. Listed alphabetically by surname.

Checked 2026-09-03

Five answer states

Every state carries a word and a glyph, so meaning never depends on colour alone.

No
Direct evidence rejects the proposition.
Conditional
The position depends on stated conditions.
Unclear
Relevant evidence exists but does not resolve the proposition.
No public position located
Reasonable documented searches found no attributable position as of the check date.

How to read this

The useful part is the qualification and source, not the visual shorthand.

Status

The word answers one narrow proposition. It is not a complete description of a candidate’s worldview.

Qualification

Scope, date, evidence subject, conditions, and unresolved tensions stay visible beside the status.

Source

Follow the source IDs before relying on a claim. Campaign language, official action, and outside reporting are not the same evidence type.
