Why these are shown separately

The leasehold A–F grade is built only from divisions specifically on leasehold reform. Renters' Rights and building-safety votes concern renters and building-safety costs — related and relevant, but a different question — so we keep them in this separate lane with their own simple tally and never let them move the leasehold grade. As with the grade, the votes are fact and the "leaseholder-aligned" direction is our editorial reading.

The votes behind the leasehold grade

Every division is a recorded House of Commons vote (the fact); the "pro-leaseholder lobby" and grade are our editorial reading (the interpretation). We only count divisions this MP actually voted in.

How we calculate the leasehold grade

Grade = the number of tracked leasehold-reform divisions where the MP voted with the pro-leaseholder lobby, divided by the number of those divisions they actually voted in, as a percentage and a letter grade (A–F). MPs who voted in fewer than three tracked divisions are shown as "limited record" rather than graded, and absences are never counted against an MP. Renters' Rights and building-safety votes are deliberately kept out of this grade and shown in the separate "Related housing votes" lane. The tracked divisions are curated and reviewed by ServiceCharges.AI.
