Darren Paffey, the Labour (Co-op) MP for Southampton Itchen, was elected to the current parliament on July 4, 2024, making him a relatively new member. He has participated in 254 debate contributions across 146 debates, ranking 270th overall among all MPs, but his voting participation has been considerably lower at 35.30%, with 203 votes cast out of 575 eligible divisions, placing him 575th overall in voting activity. His debate contributions have focused on Education & Skills, Other/Procedural matters, and Child Welfare & Safeguarding, while his voting has concentrated on Parliamentary Procedure, Justice & Law, and Employment & Workers Rights. The divergence between his strong debate ranking and notably weak voting ranking is substantial and unexplained by any government post, as he currently holds no ministerial position.
