Methodology · group-loyalty

How often a MEP votes with the majority position of their European political group.

Limitations · A high group loyalty does not mean the MEP agrees with everything — political groups negotiate joint positions before voting. A low loyalty can indicate ideological divergence, a national party deviating from EU group position, or principled opposition on specific files.
