Topic gaps

Topics on which a party published few or no releases: last 12 months.

What a gap means

A gap means that no qualifying release was detected on the party’s monitored official website(s) in the period. It does not mean the party has never addressed the subject: parties also speak in the Assembly, in the media, on social media and in manifestos, none of which is covered here. A zero is only shown as a gap when at least 90% of months in the period were completely checked for that party and it published at least ten releases; otherwise the cell is marked “coverage insufficient”.
