91 more MKs met the same conditions and never voted against the majority of their party, so they are not on the list.

How is the ranking calculated?

For every real main vote (a law, a key political vote or a no-confidence motion) in which at least 3 members of the same party actually voted, with no tie, the party's majority position is determined. An MK who "rebelled" is one who voted differently from that majority. The rule is the same for every party, coalition and opposition alike - this is a list of real events, not an assessment. MKs with fewer than 50 relevant main votes (for example, those who entered recently) are not ranked, so that a small sample does not look like the "biggest rebel". Only those who voted against the majority of their party at least once appear on the list.
