Compare how Alexander Downer and David Fawcett voted on stem cell research
Alexander Downer
Former Liberal Party Representative for Mayo December 1984 – July 2008
David Fawcett
Liberal Party Senator for SA since July 2011
How they voted compared with each other and someone who agrees that the federal government should allow certain types of stem cell research, including human embryo research
Now this is where it gets a bit tricky… Two people might vote the same way on votes they both attended, so their votes are 100% in agreement. They might also have voted in a way we’d describe differently when looking at all of one person's votes. If the other person didn’t or couldn’t have attended those votes we leave those out of the comparison. Because that just wouldn’t be fair now, would it?
