Verdicts

The verdict

No won narrowly, 15-13, on a small chamber where only the 25-34 bracket carried real weight — and split 41% yes, tilting the whole result against more woodland planting.

The verdict

A dead heat: 12-12 on whether Ireland should set up a national panel for Nazi-era and colonial restitution claims, with the platform splitting exactly as evenly as the question itself.

The verdict

Yes carried the day 62-38 on steel quotas, but the youngest voters in the chamber were the only age group to say no, and the split by gender ran wider still.

The verdict

A modest procurement question produced a comfortable Yes, 17 votes to 10, but the chamber split cleanly down gender lines, with men backing the Hilux buy and women narrowly against.

The verdict

A narrow YES on tougher immigration measures, 19-15, carried less by any generational revolt than by a gender gap: men backed it 13-9 while the 8 women who voted split 3-5 against.

The verdict

A narrow no, but with a generational hinge: the youngest voters in the chamber were the only group to back Huawei compatibility with any conviction, while everyone over 45 who voted said no.

The verdict

Yes squeaked home, 21 to 18, but the topline hides a real split: under-35s drove the win while the 35-54 bracket voted it down, and men backed acceleration far more readily than women.

The verdict

A narrow win for No on private finance for flood defences — 18 votes to 16 — with the chamber essentially split down the middle and only the smallest, oldest brackets breaking decisively either way.

The verdict

A modest but clear defeat for the idea of a national construction materials strategy, with No winning by 16 points on 33 votes — and a gender gap wider than any age divide, men splitting evenly while women rejected it by more than three to one.

The verdict

YES carried it 25-18 (58%), but the win was built on the smaller, older segment of the chamber — under-35s split dead even, while every over-35 voter with a profile backed the brake.

The verdict

No won by the narrowest of margins, 22 votes to 20, on a question that split the chamber almost evenly down the middle rather than along the usual generational lines.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber 22-13, a clear if not overwhelming win, with support hardening steadily as voters got older.

The verdict

Yes carried it 14-7, a two-to-one margin, but the chamber split more by age than anything else, with the youngest voters almost unanimous and the 35-44s tied.

The verdict

Yes carried the chamber 13-10, a narrow win built on near-unanimity among the small over-35 cohort rather than any broad consensus among the younger majority who actually filled the ballot.

The verdict

No won 18-13, a narrower defeat than the headline suggests, with the chamber's youngest cohort evenly split while those in their late 30s and 40s turned firmly against funding the £60m AI labs.

The verdict

A dead heat — 15-15 — on whether Andy Burnham could simply inherit Downing Street off the back of a Wigan by-election. But the deadlock conceals a sharp gender split: men backed the shortcut by two to one, women rejected it by three to one.

The verdict

A wafer-thin win for backing EU-led talks with Russia, 21-19, that masks a sharp generational split: 25-34s voted 65% yes while 16-24s ran hard the other way, 9 of 13 saying no.

The verdict

Monarchy retained by 7 votes to 3 in a small but decisive turnout, with abolition failing to crack a third of the chamber even amid fresh Andrew-related scrutiny and cost-of-crown arguments.
