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 — 4 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.

Groups on the winning side: the groups whose clear line (at least two thirds of their votes, at least 10 members voting) matched the outcome — For when it passed, Against when it failed; divided groups are in no set. Final votes: how many had exactly this set on the winning side. Share: of the final votes considered.

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.

About these figures

What was counted, what was left out, and how.

  • 4 votes considered (final votes matching the filters; scope).
  • 0 of 4 decisions in the period had no final vote recorded by name (a show of hands or a count without names) and cannot be measured.
  • Groups on the winning side are counted on final votes, pivotal groups on every vote in the selection, both over votes decided by a simple majority; a text that failed for want of an absolute majority (361 members) is counted apart (method).
  • Each member is counted in the group they belonged to on the day of the vote (group at the date).
  • Roll calls are not a random sample: final votes on laws are recorded by name, most other roll calls because a group asked for it. A group’s line is inferred from its members’ votes; the Parliament publishes no whip.
  • Methods: Agreement between two groups v1, Groups on the winning side and pivotal groups v1, Final votes and all roll calls v1, Group at the date of the vote v1.
  • Data as of 25 Sept 2026, 03:36 UTC (data stamp f37e5638cded, code 6d4005c55bde; what the stamp is).
