How Scores Work
Each MP's score (0-100) measures consistency, not attendance. We calculate: (1) what % of pro-growth bills they voted FOR, and (2) what % of anti-growth bills they voted AGAINST. Use the time period toggle to compare current parliament (Jul 2024+) vs all-time records, and focus presets to weight specific domains like housing or infrastructure. The "vs party" badge shows how each MP compares to their party average.

Methodology
Growth Hero scores measure consistency, not just activity. An MP who votes pro-growth 80% of the time on 10 bills scores higher than one who votes pro-growth 60% of the time on 100 bills.
Score Calculation
Each MP receives two sub-scores that combine into their overall score:
- Enthusiasm (50%): What percentage of pro-growth bills did the MP vote FOR?
Aye votes on pro-growth ÷ Total votes on pro-growth - Resistance (50%): What percentage of anti-growth bills did the MP vote AGAINST?
No votes on anti-growth ÷ Total votes on anti-growth
We use the Wilson score confidence interval to adjust for sample size - MPs with few votes are scored more conservatively.
Time Periods
You can view scores for two time periods:
- Current Parliament (Jul 2024+): Only votes since the July 2024 general election. This provides a fairer comparison as all MPs are judged on their current voting behaviour, not historical patterns from previous governments.
- All Time (2019-2025): Complete voting record across both the 2019-2024 and current parliaments.
The "vs party" badge shows how each MP compares to their party's average score. A positive number means they vote more pro-growth than their party average.
Focus Presets
Focus presets let you weight certain policy domains more heavily. For example, "Housing Focus" gives 3× weight to planning and housing votes, helping identify MPs who are particularly pro-growth in those areas. The underlying votes don't change - just how heavily each domain contributes to the final score.
Domains Tracked
We track voting patterns across 17 policy domains. The overall score treats all domains equally - a consistent pro-growth vote is a consistent pro-growth vote, whether on planning or pensions. Domain breakdowns are shown separately on each MP's card.
Core growth domains: Planning, Housing, Infrastructure, Energy, Productivity, Reindustrialisation, Tech & AI, Fiscal
Secondary domains: Wages, Health, Pensions, Fertility, Cohesion, Justice, Speech, Foreign, Environment
Note: Immigration votes are tracked but excluded from the score due to contested economic impact analysis.
Bill Classification
Each Parliamentary division is classified as pro-growth, anti-growth, or neutral using Claude (AI). Classifications consider whether the bill would:
- Pro-growth: Streamline planning, increase housing supply, invest in infrastructure, reduce regulatory burden, expand energy capacity
- Anti-growth: Block development, add bureaucracy, increase costs on productive activity, restrict supply
- Neutral: Procedural matters, foreign affairs, commemorative motions
Data Sources & Limitations
Voting data is sourced from the UK Parliament's Commons Votes API (1,463 divisions from 2019-2025). Bill classifications are generated using Claude. This is an experimental methodology - scores are indicative, not definitive. MPs with fewer than 5 growth-relevant votes are excluded.
