Amendments Nos. 2 to 4, inclusive, and amendment No. 6 are related and may be taken together.
On prevailing side: this member voted with the winning side in 312 of 313 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.

I have an unscheduled announcement for the attention of the House. Members will be aware that Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan is interested in all matters maritime, but it has just come to my attention that when he takes the plunge this weekend, he will not be doing so alone. He will be joined by his fiancée, Ms Sarah Redmond. I am sure we would all join in wishing him and Sarah every happiness together.
