MP Scorecard
Sir Edward Leigh
Conservative · Gainsborough · MP since 09 Jun 1983
Majority 3,532 of a 75,836 electorate (4.7%) at the last election, per the Members API.
Participation, with the denominator
Recorded as voting in 365 of the 590 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 365 votes cast, 365 matched the majority of their own party’s voters in that division and 0 opposed it. Of those, 0 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.
