How they voted on policies

Each policy groups related divisions. Counts are this member's recorded votes from 17 Mar 2009 to 22 June 2017; the score is They Vote For You's weighted agreement across all years. A voting record shows how someone voted, not necessarily what they personally believe.

No policy voting record yet.
