FAQs

How is this ranking calculated?

All current MPs ranked by the start of their current continuous Commons membership, earliest first. MPs first returned at the same general election share a start date and are shown as joint-ranked; the single most senior member — the House's 'Father of the House', set by order of swearing-in — is badged.

Where does the data come from?

Rankings use official UK Parliament data — the Commons Votes API for voting and the Members API for MP details. Some measures are locally derived analysis by Ayes and Noes and are labelled as such; see the methodology on the statistics overview.

How often is it updated?

The ranking reflects the most recent data import. It refreshes as new divisions and member data are imported.
