A "conflict" is a vote where a member's national-delegation for/against majority and their EU group's for/against majority point opposite ways; we record which line the member's own ballot followed. Members with fewer than 4 such conflicts are excluded. Abstentions and non-votes are ignored. Data via the European Parliament Open Data Portal and HowTheyVote.eu.
