General government spending as share of GDP, excluding transfers already captured under fiscal.transfer_expansion to avoid double-counting.

The Wilson–Callaghan governments' tripartite "Social Contract" with the TUC, comprising successive pay norms (initially a flat GBP 6 weekly limit in 1975, then 5% in 1976–78) in exchange for repeal of Conservative industrial-relations law and expansion of the social wage. The voluntary incomes-policy framework collapsed into the 1978–79 "Winter of Discontent" when public-sector unions rejected Callaghan's proposed 5% ceiling.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
