The record, axis by axis
Every placement is scored on what was said and done — manifestos, legislation, the governing record — and calibrated against the same trade-offs the quiz asks about.
Rejects means-testing on principle: universal PDS and social security pensions in Kerala, and demands for universal health and education funded by higher direct taxes
The party programme still wants public ownership of key sectors and land reform, but Kerala courts FDI and built Vizhinjam with Adani, and Bengal's own 2006 industrialisation drive split the party
A class-first party that treated Mandal as a diversion in 1990 and implemented EWS in Kerala, now formally backing a caste census
Anti-Hindutva as a founding commitment: Kerala's Article 131 suit against CAA, opposition to UCC in its current form, defence of the Places of Worship Act
Demands repeal of UAPA, PMLA and AFSPA — against Kerala Police UAPA cases, the 118A amendment attempt, and Bengal's record including the 2007 Nandigram firing
Backed legal recognition for same-sex couples in 2023, Kerala's transgender policy and Sabarimala entry, and opposes moral policing
Has demanded restructured Centre-state relations since the 1970s, well before the current fight; Kerala sued the Union over borrowing limits and opposes ONOE
