At a glance Holly Bruce is a Scottish Green Party Member of the Scottish Parliament for Glasgow Southside.
Attendance is votes cast as a share of the 2,903 Holyrood divisions on record; Holly Bruce did not vote in 1. A rebellion is a vote against the way most of their own party voted; free votes, where no party line applies, are left out. At Holyrood an abstention is a deliberate recorded vote, distinct from not voting at all.
Party-loyalty figures are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.
