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.

Where a member of a party or a group appears in order to object to the Order of Business, no further contribution may be made by any member of that party or group, any objection shall not exceed one minute…

I will just say to Deputy Doherty that it is completely out of order to accuse any Member of the House or a Minister of misleading the House or the public in circumstances other than by way of a substantive motion. I ask him to temper his remarks on that matter.
