System will state "Consistently voted for..." even in cases where a stance is based on one vote

[RichardTaylor]

For example at:

The statement:

Consistently voted for raising England’s undergraduate tuition fee cap to £9,000 per year

is made based on one vote.

It doesn't make sense to use the word "consistently" when only one vote is involved.

This is an example where the stance is based on just one vote; similar circumstances occur when a new MP votes on a position for the first time, so they only have one vote to take into account.

I think this is quite a minor issue; it's not resulting in anything badly misleading being stated.

Hopefully the addition of the summary stats under the positions at least makes this a bit less of an issue.

Via Twitter:

I agree with the word choices for everything else, but a vote record in a category of "1 of 1 vote" suggests multiple using "consistently"

I'll admit it's a relatively rare occurrence, only for 'new' MPs who haven't had chance to vote multiple times in an area

But wouldn't​ it make sense to remove the adverb entirely for sample sizes of 1 in a category ?

How can you consistently vote against something one time?

On that site consistency is a politician voting 100% one way or another
He only voted once on Euthanasia so his one vote = 100% = consistent

In the sense that England consistently won the world cup in 1966 and the UK consistently voted for Brexit, right?

A comment on Twitter from an MP appears to relate to this issue:

I've changed it to remove 'consistently' if only one vote.
