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.

How is this calculated?

Inactivity % = (Votes available − Voted (for/against)) / Votes available = (2689 − 2280) / 2689 = 15.2%

Registered 2489 · Absent 200 · Votes available 2689
For: 1527 · Against: 753 · Abstain: 17 · Did not vote: 192 · Absent: 200

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.
