Welcome to MEPMap

MEPMap is a powerful application designed to analyze and visualize the voting dynamics of the European Parliament. Our goal is to provide users with insights into how Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) vote on various legislative topics. By leveraging advanced data processing and visualization techniques, MEPMap helps users understand the voting patterns and alignments of MEPs across different legislatures and topics.

📍Votes map

This is a map of MEPs based on their voting patterns. Each MEP is represented by a point on the map. MEPs who vote similarly are closer together. You can move the mouse over the points to see the MEP's name in the application. The horizontal axis is devoid of any specific or political significance, such as left or right. It simply serves as a visual representation of the algorithm's output.

🔄 Polarization Analysis

TThis section analyzes how divisive each vote was. A high polarization score indicates that MEPs were evenly split on the issue, while a low score indicates broad consensus.

🧩 Cross-Group Agreement Matrix

This matrix shows the percentage of votes where different political groups voted the same way on the selected topic. Higher percentages (darker colors) indicate more agreement between groups. The values represent the percentage of votes where the majority of MEPs in both groups voted the same way (Yes, No, or Abstain).

🎯 Votes Consistency

This metric shows how often each MEP votes in alignment with the majority of their political group or country delegation.
