Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has stated that he supports a referendum on the country's mixed member proportional voting system. Luxon indicated that this would occur if he is re-elected at the end of the year.
