Cohesion over time

Agreement Index of the group on final roll-call votes, per quarter (1 = all voted the same way). Members counted in their group on the day; a vote counts for the group when at least 10 of its members and a third of its seats voted, and a gap is a quarter with fewer than 20 votes counted. The other groups are the faint lines.

The Left: 0.77 over the whole period (618 votes), 0.81 in Q4 2024 and 0.75 in Q3 2026.

Agreement with other groups

How often the group took the same line as each other group on the term’s final votes, groups at the date of each vote.

Same line: of the votes compared, the share where the two groups’ clear lines were the same. Votes compared: final votes where both groups had a clear line (at least two thirds of their votes cast, at least 10 members voting); a vote where either was divided is left out. A count instead of a share under 20 votes.

What the columns mean

Participationⓘ: roll calls with a recorded vote, of the roll calls while in office. With majority lineⓘ: votes cast the way the plurality of their group voted, of the votes where the group had a line. Against clear lineⓘ: votes otherwise than a line held by at least two thirds of their group with at least 10 members voting, of the votes where it had one. Abstentionⓘ: of the votes cast. ± group: difference from the median of the member’s group (the one they held for most of the period), in percentage points; not compared for a member who changed group in the period; the non-attached have no group line. Each member is counted in the group they belonged to on the day of each vote; a figure over fewer than 50 votes is shown as a count.

Line on the final votes, 620

The group’s line on every final roll-call vote of the term, newest first, with its members counted in the group they sat in on the day.

Majority line: the position most of the group’s voting members took, on the day of the vote (“Tie” when no position won); “no clear line” when no position had at least two thirds of its votes cast with at least 10 members voting — the Divided filter lists those. In the group: for–against–abstained. Result: the vote’s outcome and counts. On the losing side: the majority line was For and the vote failed, or Against and it passed.
