Verdicts

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber 17-8, but the headline number hides a split running clean down gender lines: men backed a crackdown almost unanimously while every woman who voted said no.

The verdict

A decisive 77% said yes: politicians of all stripes, not just the extremes, are accused of talking Britain down. Agreement held firm across every age band and both genders, from 25-34s to the small cohort of over-65s.

The verdict

Yes to solar subsidies carried 60-40 among the 48 who voted, but the split by gender was starker than the topline: men backed subsidy 65-35 while women split dead even, 5-5.

The verdict

Quotas for the cabinet were rejected 16-5, with No dominant across every sizeable age bracket, but the chamber's women split down the middle even as its men rejected the idea by four to one.

The verdict

No, and not close: 34 votes to 18, a 30-point margin against tougher sentencing for non-British offenders, with the loudest opposition coming from the over-55s who rejected it almost unanimously.

The verdict

No won comfortably, 28 votes to 19, with reintroduction rejected 60-40 despite the one issue where public sentiment has long run ahead of Westminster's cross-party consensus.

The verdict

Expanding North Sea drilling edged it, 13 to 11, but the only group large enough to trust told the opposite story: 25-34 year-olds voted 9 to 4 against, the single biggest bloc in the chamber.

The verdict

Yes to public control of Thames Water carried 15-8, but the chamber split hard by gender: men backed it 77% to 33% among women, on a small vote of 23.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber, 15 votes to 4, with every woman who voted backing a rewrite of the ZEV Mandate while men split more evenly, six to four.

The verdict

Yes to GCAP carried the chamber 12-7, a 26-point margin built on a thin 19 votes — not a landslide so much as a modest working majority for the fighter jet money.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber comfortably, 13 to 4, but with only 17 profiled voters this is a strong signal from a small room rather than a national verdict on rearmament.

The verdict

Federalism fell short, 41 to 59, but the age data tells the real story: the youngest voters backed a federal UK by three to one, while every other age band tilted or split against it.

The verdict

Yes to stricter HMO controls carried Cambridge 65-35, but the only age group large enough to matter split almost evenly against consensus: 25-34s voted 45% yes, the sole bloc to lean No.

The verdict

A narrow 58-42 win for keeping the steel quotas, carried almost entirely by one bloc: the 25-34s, who backed the safeguards 7 to 2 while every other age group with more than a couple of votes split or leaned the other way.

The verdict

Yes carried it 13-7, a solid but not overwhelming 65%, on a small chamber where the only real resistance clustered among the 25-34s and the over-45s.

The verdict

Voters here delivered a landslide verdict of national embarrassment: 78% called Britain a "joke country" over its revolving-door premiership, with barely a flicker of disagreement across age or gender.

The verdict

A knife-edge yes, 10 votes to 9, on a plan two of the government's own ministers walked out over — hardly a ringing endorsement, and one age group broke against it entirely.

The verdict

Voters rejected replacing immigration judges with citizen panels for asylum appeals by a decisive 15-6, with the scepticism concentrated among 25-34s, the platform's largest bloc, who broke 8-2 against.

The verdict

No won by a whisker: 12 votes to 11 out of 23, a one-vote margin that makes this the closest possible verdict on devolving Whitehall to the town halls.

The verdict

No won it, 14 votes to 7, as the chamber declined to send a No 10 unit north to Manchester despite Andy Burnham's devolution pledge, with only the 25-34s (4 of 8) evenly split on the idea.

The verdict

No won comfortably, 38-22, as voters rejected the plan to tax interest on cash held in ISAs. The clearest divide was gender, not age: men split fairly evenly (44% yes) while women rejected it three-to-one (25% yes).

The verdict

No, DCMS does not provide adequate leadership on museums, said the chamber — 16 of 28, a narrow but clear 14-point margin, with the only age group under 45 leaning "no" in the biggest bloc (25-34s split dead even at 7-7).

The verdict

A narrow 56-44 win for devolving power to Burnham's town halls, but the headline number hides a sharp gender split: men backed it 63%, women rejected it 71-29.

The verdict

A dead heat: 15-15, the platform unable to choose between drones and destroyers. But bury the tie and there's a real fracture—25-34s broke hard against hybrid ships (36% yes) while 35-44s backed them two-to-one.
