Record
The member’s figures against the median of their group and of the chamber. Each vote counts the member in the group they belonged to that day.
Chamber median: 90.2 %
88 opposite (for ↔ against), 94 abstained against the line, 22 voted for or against when the line was to abstain
Compared with each group they sat in
| Group | Participation | With majority line | Against clear line | Abstention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Left 17 Jul 2024 – 30 Apr 2026 | 74.4 % of 4 836 median 88.5 % (−14.0 pts) | 92.6 % of 3 595 median 93.0 % (−0.4 pts) | 4.8 % of 3 340 | 5.5 % of 3 600 |
| S&D 18 May 2026 – 17 Sept 2026 | 74.6 % of 1 092 median 91.8 % (−17.2 pts) | 94.5 % of 815 median 96.1 % (−1.6 pts) | 5.4 % of 801 | 1.7 % of 815 |
- Whole term, 5 928 roll-call votes.
- “No vote recorded” is not the same as absent: leave, illness and chairing the sitting look the same.
- A group’s line is inferred from its members’ votes — Parliament publishes no whip.
- This member changed group in this period: each vote counts them in the group of that day, and they are compared with each group over the roll calls held while they sat in it — not with one group’s median.
Every final roll-call vote of the term with the member’s position, newest first.

Roll-call participation
One cell per sitting while in office, shaded by the share of that day’s roll calls the member voted in. The official attendance register is kept separately by Parliament.
"No vote recorded" is not the same as absent: leave, illness and chairing the sitting look the same.
