Timeline
“Inactivity” measures how often a deputy did not cast a For or Against vote on motions they could have voted on — whether absent, or present but not registering, abstaining, or not pressing. A non-vote is not neutral: a motion passes only with a majority of For votes, so being present yet not voting effectively withholds support — counting, in practice, the same as a vote against. Attendance shows how often a deputy at least registered for the sitting.
MP: Saeimas deputāts (2011–2011)
How is this calculated?
Inactivity % = (Votes available − Voted (for/against)) / Votes available = (2596 − 1896) / 2596 = 27.0%
Registered 2336 · Absent 260
· Votes available 2596
For: 1435 · Against: 461 ·
Abstain: 135 · Did not vote: 305 ·
Absent: 260
Party loyalty % — Party loyalty is the share of a deputy's ballots cast with their faction's majority stance, over the policy votes they took part in.
Prime Minister: Latvijas Republikas Ministru prezidents (2000–2002)
Minister: Latvijas Republikas labklājības ministrs (1994–1995)
