Members with at least one vote where their group had a clear line. Order: by rate, for members with at least 300 clear-line votes (the rest follow by name) — not a ranking.

**Against the line**: votes against the group’s clear line ÷ **clear-line votes** (votes where the member’s group at the date had a clear line and the member voted); a count below 50. Of the votes against: **opposite** (for ↔ against), **abstained** against the line, **other** (for or against when the line was to abstain), and **with own party** — with the majority of their national party’s members in the group (at least two voting).

About these figures

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

5 928 votes considered (all roll-call votes matching the filters; scope).
174 of 794 decisions in the period had no final vote recorded by name (a show of hands or a count without names) and cannot be measured.
A vote counts against the group’s line when the group’s clear line — at least two thirds of its votes cast, with at least 10 members voting — was different from the member’s position; a divided group has no line to vote against (method). This is a different rule from group loyalty, which uses the majority line (loyalty).
Ordered by rate, only members with at least 300 votes where their group had a clear line are compared; fewer votes make a rate unstable, and below 50 the figure is shown as a count.
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: Voted against the group’s clear line v1, Voted with the group’s majority line v1, Final votes and all roll calls v1, Group at the date of the vote v1.
