On prevailing side: this member voted
with the winning side in 440 of
443 decisive votes
(0 abstentions
excluded). Read it as a government-or-opposition indicator rather than a
measure of influence — the figure is near 100% for members supporting the
government of the day and near 0% for those opposing it.
Party over time
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party
held on the day, not the one held now.

I thank the Senator. Given that it is such a respectful, controlled debate, Senators might exercise their own judgment on being brief in order that everyone will get involved and every amendment might be reached. That is purely up to Senators and there is no way for me to stop them, but they might show deference to colleagues in that regard.

It is at the Senator's discretion, as Leader of the House, to make such a proposal, which will then be put to the House for agreement. Does she wish to propose that?
