Parliamentary analysis

Strong conflict: Opposition proposes - Outlier

This vote is an outlier compared to other votes in this cluster. The description below is the closest match, but it may be significantly different to other votes in this cluster.

This vote is most similar to a group of votes where the opposition has proposed a motion and the government is strongly opposing it (few defections, high turnout).
