How this was determined. Positions are derived only from recorded votes on the motions listed above — never from platforms, speeches or inference. Because amendments frequently invert the meaning of a vote, each motion is hand-checked to record whether voting in favour means support or opposition. Where a member voted both ways across related motions we show Split rather than guessing.
