Why these numbers?

Each petal is one policy area. Its score is how often this MEP voted with the Parliament-wide majority on roll-call votes tagged to that area — longer, greener petals mean closer alignment; shorter, redder ones mean a more independent record. Only areas with at least five such votes are shown. The centre figure is the average across all areas. Full methodology →
