We now move to the question and answer session. There is a short period for this so I ask Deputy Crowe to keep his questions short.
John McGuinness
Rhetoric & votes →On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 425 of 432 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.
