How each group voted

Each bar is one group’s members who voted, split by how they voted. Above it: how many of the group’s members seated that day voted, and the group’s majority - more than half of those voting - if it had one. A group’s members are counted as Parliament’s records place them on the day of the vote. The groups page and member pages go by the site’s member list as it stands now, so their counts can differ where a member has changed group, joined or left. Groups are in the order they sit in the chamber, from left to right, as in the chart above. Non-attached members belong to no group, so no majority is given for them.

How each member voted

Open a category to see its members, listed by group and by surname. “No vote recorded” is not an absence finding: the official result does not distinguish absence from being present without voting.
