How Jim Allister votes
Jim Allister has not taken part in any votes where parties gave instructions yet.
What does this mean?
Parties tell their MPs how to vote. Most MPs usually follow that. A high score is normal and says nothing about whether an MP is good or bad. We only count votes where parties gave instructions, not free votes. Words explained
