04 · What changed

How Gemini’s answer changed

The new citizen’s explanation added how smaller parties can support a government and kept an example linking vote share to a party’s total seats. It left out the earlier five-percent threshold for entering Parliament.

It no longer said all those seats came from party lists, but still did not clearly explain subtracting electorate MPs before allocating list seats.

The extracts compare Gemini’s nationwide answers from 26 October 2026 and 31 October 2026. Each opens the original answer from the date shown. Other assistants’ complete answers are available above.
