About these figures
What was counted, what was left out, and how.
- 185 votes considered (final votes matching the filters; scope).
- 62 of 247 decisions in the period had no final vote recorded by name (a show of hands or a count without names) and cannot be measured.
- 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 members v1, Final votes and all roll calls v1, Group at the date of the vote v1.
- Data as of 26 Sept 2026, 03:32 UTC (data stamp 579b2832c723, code 6d4005c55bde; what the stamp is).
