Agreement between groups

How often two groups took the same line, of the votes where both groups had a clear line (at least two thirds of their votes cast, at least 10 members voting); votes where either was divided or had fewer than 10 voting are left out, so each pair has its own count — 0 votes in the selection. A count instead of a share under 20 votes.

Read the figures against each other, not alone: most votes pass by wide margins, so most pairs of groups agree often. Show contested votes only to see which groups vote together when the chamber is divided.

Each cell: of the votes where both groups had a clear line (at least two thirds of its votes), the share where it was the same. The more a cell's colour stands out from the page, the higher the share (scale below); the hatched diagonal is the group itself (method).

Groups on the winning side

Which sets of groups carried the final votes decided by a simple majority, members counted in their group on the day.

No final vote in this selection had groups with a clear line on the winning side.

No final vote in this selection failed for want of an absolute majority.

Per group

Counted per group at the date of each vote; the non-attached have no line and are left out.

On the winning side: final votes decided by a simple majority where the group’s clear line matched the outcome, of those where the group had members voting. Pivotal: votes in the selection decided by a simple majority whose outcome would flip without the group’s members’ votes, of those where the group had members voting. Texts that failed for want of an absolute majority are left out of both.
