About Bert-Jan RUISSEN

Bert-jan Ruissen represents the Netherlands in the European Parliament as a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), a right-wing Eurosceptic political group that advocates for national sovereignty and opposes further European integration. He belongs to the Reformed Political Party (SGP), the Netherlands' orthodox Protestant party known for its conservative Christian positions on social issues and traditional family values. The SGP, founded in 1918, consistently promotes biblical principles in Dutch politics and maintains a small but stable electoral base. His consistent presence in parliamentary proceedings reflects the SGP's disciplined approach to political representation and their emphasis on fulfilling electoral mandates through active participation in legislative processes.

Methodology

Attendance is calculated based on roll-call votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament. Committee votes are excluded. Abstaining counts as present; not voting counts as absent. Sittings for which the Parliament officially excused a Member (Rule 162, illness, family, official mission, or maternity) are credited, not counted as absences. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
