Chris Hazzard, the Sinn Féin MP for South Down, does not participate in voting or debates at Westminster. This is due to Sinn Féin's abstentionist policy, whereby the party does not take its seats in Parliament. Hazzard was elected to the current parliament on 4 July 2024 and has served as an MP since June 2017, making him the second-longest serving member of his seven-strong parliamentary party.
