Senator Brady-----
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 66 of 66 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.
This is the point of the site: contributions keep the party held on the day, not the one held now.

Everybody has been given the opportunity to ask their questions. MEPs are entitled to give their contribution. I am going to give more time because there has been a number of interruptions.
Members, a question has been asked. A Member of the European Parliament is answering the question. He and any Member is entitled to answer the question any way they feel fit. That is the rule of the House. We have not changed the way the debate is structured.
The structure of the debate has been outlined and agreed by the House today.
