She belongs to Denmark's Social Democrats, the country's largest centre-left party that has traditionally championed welfare state policies and European integration. Schaldemose demonstrates exceptional commitment to her parliamentary duties, maintaining a 96.9% attendance record—significantly above the European Parliament's average of approximately 82%—and participating in 97% of votes (1,815 of 1,873 total votes). Her consistent presence in parliamentary proceedings reflects active engagement with the legislative process.

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. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
Note: Vice-Presidents of the European Parliament do not vote when chairing sessions, which may affect their attendance percentage.
