Shows which Representatives voted most similarly to this one in the 2013 (current) Parliament (whilst Deputy Speaker). This is measured from 0% agreement (never voted the same) to 100% (always voted the same). Only votes that both Representatives attended are counted. This may reveal relationships between Representatives that were previously unsuspected. Or it may be nonsense.
