Home Votewatch European Parliament MEPs MEP rankings

Ranking by in uence

This is an overall assessment that combines quantitative and qualitative elements, and which takes into account rapporteurship, key positions, results in votes and other
factors that shape the level of in uence of an MEP.

Please be advised that some MEPs may be less in uential overall, but highly in uential on a speci c topic (e.g. environment, Turkey). Also, this is an objective
assessment, ie. it does not take into account the views of an MEP on various policies. A measurement of the actual support for a speci c policy requires an additional
topic-focused component.
