How often Poland voted the same way as each permanent Security Council member, of the resolutions both cast a yes/no/abstain vote on.

The pie chart is based on the “GA only” column, showing each member’s share of the combined total across all shown members (it does not sum those percentages to 100% on its own) — see the table for the actual agreement rate with each. The “GA + SC” column blends in Security Council votes, which are adopted almost unanimously and so tend to pull every country’s number up.

P5 alignment over time

Same GA-only metric, by year. A member’s line starts wherever it first has enough shared votes in a year to be meaningful (at least 5) — for Russia, that’s never before 1991, since the USSR voted under a separate historical record.
