This chart shows the percentage agreement between this Lord and each of the policies in the database, according to their
voting record.
Shows which Lords voted most similarly to this one in the 2001-2005, Westminster Parliament. This is measured from 0% agreement (never voted the same) to 100% (always
voted the same). Only votes that both Lords attended are
counted. This may reveal relationships between Lords that were
previously unsuspected. Or it may be nonsense.
