If you're not sure if you should be pissed at your MEP, here are the votes (PDF): http://bit.ly/1NydR8L

It's from page 19, Pilar Del Castillo Vera section.




Why hide it behind a link shortener?

How do you read this document?


For an amendment, you have three sections: the "+" section lists people having voted for the amendment, the "-" section lists people having voted against, the "0" section lists people having abstained

Only the surnames of the MEP are listed. They are listed inside their political group. The two biggest groups in European Parliament are PPE (European People's Party, centre-right) and S&D (Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, centre-left) See this list of political groups: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_groups_of_the_Europe...


Looks like the PPE and S&D didn't disappoint and voted en masse against it. Sigh.


This is awful to read. We need a tool to make votes clear and searchable. Is there a database of them someplace we could query?
