About

Every factual claim links to the source it came from. Opinions and characterisations are always attributed to whoever holds them, never asserted here. Where reliable sources disagree, the competing accounts are set out side by side and no winner is picked. Explanations of why something happened are treated as arguments, not facts, and each is tied to the person or study that made it.

Election results come from SPR via ElectionData.MY (CC0) and a hand-verified historical table; from 2008 onward they are checked seat-for-seat against official results. For what happened, reporting written at the time; for what it meant, later academic work. Wikipedia is never a source. Sensitive topics — May 13, royalty, race and religion — cite academic and official sources.

Research is AI-assisted: separate models research and verify each other's citations, and sensitive pages get human review before anything changes. Where a question is not settled, the page says so under "Still open" rather than papering over it.

Errors of fact are corrected on the page.
