(note - you'll need to create a login). Interesting takeaways: 1. As is usual, party discipline was very strong on the national-party level, but usually weak on the level of the European political grouping. 2. The center-right EPP grouping voted by a large majority for the regulation. 3. There was a very strong national divide between France (>80% in favor) and every other large state (small majorities against). 4. Party discipline on the European level among the Socialists (S&D) broke down completely, leaving them split about 50/50. For example, German SPD voted unanimously against; the French, British, Italian, and Spanish socialists by large majorities in favor; and most of the socialists from small states voted against. 5. The liberals (in the European, FDP sense), were split within parties at a high rate. 6. The nationalist far-right (the French party formerly known as the Front National, Lega Nord, etc.) and the Eurosceptic right (e.g. UK Conservatives, the governing Polish PiS, etc.), which usually vote similarly, split along national-party lines.
