English term or phrase: record
Har du deltagit i en protest mot?
The government’s record or the political situation

I amerikansk politik hör man alltid detta:
1) Journalist: But you raised taxes as Governor of X
2) Politician: No, my record is very clear, I am very proud of my record, I am a capitalist, and I cut taxes 98 times while in office

Jag undrar vad det bästa ordet är för record i detta sammanhang på svenska.

meritlista


Explanation:
En meritlista är en lista (record) över meriter och annat man vill åberopa till sin fördel. Används ofta bildligt, och/eller ironiskt.


Example sentence(s):
  • samtidigt låter regeringens meritlista riktigt skaplig när man får den ordentligt presenterad för sig
  • Sans och nyans i politiska frågor står dock inte särskilt högt på hans meritlista
