⚠️This was a close vote — the margin was small relative to the votes cast.

Close vote analysis

The margin was 21 votes. 176 MEPs did not vote.

Could absences have changed the outcome? The number of absent MEPs (176) was larger than the 21-vote margin, so absences were numerically significant.

Groups whose absences exceeded the margin

EPPhad 52 absent MEPs (margin was 21)
S&Dhad 34 absent MEPs (margin was 21)

Absences larger than the margin are numerically significant but do NOT imply the outcome would have changed. That would require modelling how each absent member would have voted, which this analysis does not do.
