Scores are published as whole numbers. Small differences and neighbouring positions should be interpreted with care. The score bands provide a broader guide, while profiles explain each party’s context.

A snapshot that can change

Scores reflect the published edition and its documented revisions. An unchanged score can move in the table when other parties change or new entries are added. Read the methodology for the evidence, update rules and limitations.
