MP Scorecard

Mr Alistair Carmichael

Mr Alistair Carmichael

Liberal Democrat · Orkney and Shetland · MP since 07 Jun 2001

Majority 7,807 of a 34,236 electorate (22.8%) at the last election, per the Members API.

Participation, with the denominator

Recorded as voting in 294 of the 575 Commons divisions in our archive from this Parliament (since 9 July 2024, its first sitting day). An absence is not an abstention - ministers, tellers, paired members and members with other duties do not appear in a division list. The number states what the record shows; it does not grade anyone.

The party record, with the split

Of the 294 votes cast, 293 matched the majority of their own party’s voters in that division and 1 opposed it. Of those, 1 went against a clear party line - four or more of their party’s voters to one on the other side. Parliament does not publish whip instructions, so a free vote where a party splits (and voting with a small minority of colleagues) is visible in the split itself. “Party” means the party recorded against their name in that division list at the time. The split is the record; what it means is your call.
