Counts are what the record holds, not what happened: coverage thins the further back you look, and a term with little recovered will show small numbers for everyone who sat in it. The index is the figure to compare between people. It measures this councillor against the others on their own council, so the same gaps sit in the numerator and the denominator and largely cancel. Where this comes from.

Who they voted with

Rated on contested roll calls only, the votes with at least one nay: the council adopts most business unanimously, and agreeing on a unanimous vote says nothing about affinity. Pairs sharing fewer than 10 contested votes are not rated. Agreement across all shared votes, unanimous included, is shown for context.
