- Whole term, 5 928 roll-call votes. The dots are the other non-attached members; no ranks.
- “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.
- The non-attached have no group line: loyalty and votes against a clear line are not computed.
Every roll-call vote of the term with the member’s position, newest first.
