Voting record
Most votes in Parliament are party votes, where MPs vote as a block with their party. So on the large majority of votes Shane Reti voted the same way as National. The votes that show an MP’s own view are conscience (personal) votes, where MPs vote individually.
No conscience (personal) votes are recorded for Shane Reti this term. These votes are rare, because Parliament decides most matters by party vote. We record them from Hansard as they occur.
