Ms Diane Abbott, the Independent MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, is the fourth longest-serving MP in Parliament, having been continuously elected since June 1987. She cast 309 votes out of 515 eligible divisions, achieving a 60 percent participation rate and ranking 192nd overall in voting, while her debate contributions were substantially lower, with 76 total contributions across 40 debates and ranking 599th overall. Her top areas of focus in debates have been Foreign Affairs & Defence, Justice & Law, and procedural matters, while her voting pattern has concentrated on Employment & Workers Rights, Parliamentary Procedure, and Justice & Law. As an Independent MP with no current government post, her notably higher voting participation relative to her debate activity represents a significant divergence in her parliamentary engagement.
