'COVID-19 (2020) caused a temporary dip but Parliament adapted quickly to hybrid working, with 2021-2023 showing strong recovery.',
'Parliamentary questions have trended upward, reflecting increased MEP engagement in Commission oversight.',
'EP9 (2019-2024) achieved the highest peak legislative output (148 acts in 2023), driven by digital regulation and Green Deal.',
'EP10 shows a rightward political shift with implications for legislative priorities in defence, migration, and industrial policy.',
'Committee meeting frequency has increased 30% from EP6 to EP9, reflecting growing legislative complexity.',
'Roll-call vote counts correlate strongly (r=0.94) with legislative acts adopted, indicating consistent parliamentary discipline.',
'Parliamentary fragmentation has steadily increased: Effective Number of Parties rose from 4.12 (2004) to 6.14 (2025), reflecting the decline of the traditional EPP-S&D grand coalition.',
'Since 2019 (EP9), no two-party majority has been possible, requiring broader multi-group coalitions for legislation.',
'Speech counts track legislative intensity, peaking during end-of-term legislative pushes (2013, 2018, 2023).',
