Parliamentary analysis

Strong conflict: Opposition proposes

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).

This usually suggests an important point of principle, or that it would have substantive effects if passed.
