Each candidate's proposals are taken from their official campaign website (official programme) and from their statements reported by the media we follow (public statement), then sorted into the same themes for everyone. Summaries are automatic, neutral and limited to these sources: no rating, no ranking, no costing. When nothing has been found, the page says so without inventing anything. Method
