Gideon Amos.

Gideon Amos broke sharply with his Liberal Democrat colleagues on assisted dying in June 2025, voting against the bill at Third Reading and backing two amendments — including New Clause 16 — that would have barred people from qualifying if their wish to die was substantially driven by feeling a burden, a mental disorder, disability, or financial hardship. His votes place him among the more cautious MPs on this issue, sitting 61 percentage points below his party's average support for assisted dying access. More recently he has voted in line with Lib Dem positions on carbon budgets, the Armed Forces Bill, and the National Security (State Threats) Bill.

At 74% voting participation, Amos is somewhat below the Commons average. His stance profile shows consistent support for parliamentary scrutiny (100%), civil liberties (94%), and Lords oversight (95%), alongside resistance to tax increases and low alignment with fiscal tightening and workers' rights measures. Local government, housing, and the economy dominate his speech topics across 579 contributions — a pattern consistent with a first-term MP focused on bread-and-butter constituency concerns rather than national political positioning.

Outside the chamber, news coverage paints an active local operator: he campaigned successfully to reopen a closed pharmacy, backed a constituent's push for better bus links to healthcare, championed solar panels on car parks and warehouses in Parliament, and lobbied for railway investment in Wellington after earlier government cancellations. His 96.6% party alignment figure means the assisted dying votes are the clearest point of independent judgement in an otherwise loyalist record. No committee memberships are currently listed.
