Hello. This is my first Votes in Review since taking the reins from /u/KarlYonedaStan. In a term with parliamentary demographics as fractured as this, it’s nice to be able to develop a sense of how votes are falling in both the House of Commons and House of Lords. In the words of my predecessor who developed these pieces, it is useful in holding MPs and Lords accountable to some degree of consistency.

House of Commons

LB234: The Criminal Juries (Majority Verdicts) (Amendment) Bill was proposed by The Lord Sigur of Appledore on behalf of Coalition! and was co-sponsored by both the Liberal Democrats and the Freedom and Liberty Party’s Xvillan. It passed 93-23-23 with 11 MPs not voting. Those supporting the bill included all C! and Liberal Democrat MPs who voted, along with the NIIP, FLP, and one Conservative MP - as well as 10 Labour MPs, 7 Solidarity MPs and The Independent Group.

B1363: The Samaritans Bill was proposed by the former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rea-wakey and fell 70-71-0 with 9 MPs all voting. The vote was largely across party lines with the exception of a Labour MP, however the bill fell as a result of 9 Liberal Democrat MPs not voting.

M: There's a lot of divisions to catch up on so I'm doing this in stages as it's easier.
