MP Scorecard

Melanie Ward

Melanie Ward

Labour · Cowdenbeath and Kirkcaldy · MP since 04 Jul 2024

Majority 7,248 of a 71,845 electorate (10.1%) at the last election, per the Members API.

Participation, with the denominator

Recorded as voting in 436 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 436 votes cast, 424 matched the majority of their own party’s voters in that division and 12 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.
