Clowns de la République: What They Say, What They Vote
A French parliamentary accountability project compares political groups’ public statements with their recorded votes.
Field notes
The project distinguishes four analytical views of the same parliamentary corpus rather than collapsing every result into a single ranking. Its homepage reports 645 deputies tracked, 32,665 traceable lines for high-stakes voting behavior, and 52 statement-versus-vote confrontations. It also separates pure calculations—such as attendance and group-line discipline—from sourced interpretation, stating that each number opens the exact votes behind it and that no language model participates in those calculations.
