Bruges Group rates MPs voting records for europhilia

The Bruges Group has produced a handy europhilia database, based on MPs' voting records.

Below are results for Conservative MPs. Notice how much red there is.

Douglas Carswell scores a highly respectable +96%, reflecting his EU realism. Lidington, along with an extremely high number of Conservative MPs, score 100%, reflecting their EU fanaticism.

Unfortunately, my MP is 100% europhiliac.  He and his fellow quislings are as much "Guilty Men" (or wimmin) as those named by Peter Oborne recently (see video below).  Notice how many of the EU fanatics have government sinecures.  Cause or effect?

Oborne on the release of "Guilty Men":

Manu said...

Actually, these Bruges Group figures are not fully accurate. My local MP - Michael Fallon - scores a pretty rubbish -86%. However, looking at the detail, the only reason he did not get -100% was because he sat on the fence on the 'EU External Action Service' vote last year...

Personally, I would count all abstentions on these votes as negative. Wonder what everyone's scores would be then...?

Fausty said...

Manu - But didn't Fallon's abstention help get the measure through? I'd count that vote negatively.

I know there's a silly convention whereby, in order to abstain, MPs can instead vote both ways, which effectively cancels out the vote.

But it would seriously skew the figures. There may be other oddities, too.

It would be useful if they communicated the assumptions made, such as you suggest.

What a brilliant list! I've nabbed to keep for future use :)

Knew many of them were bad on Europe, but didn't know so many were that bad.
