About these figures

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

  • 604 members recorded a position on both votes; “no vote recorded” on either vote leaves a member out of the comparison.
  • 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: Group at the date of the vote v1.
  • Data as of 28 Sept 2026, 03:25 UTC (data stamp 5a7357168c2a, code 6d4005c55bde; what the stamp is).
