Five Sinn Féin MPs were listed among the top 100 best performing MPs - despite being abstentionists who do not take seats in Westminster, showing that Sinn Féin MPs provide first class representation to constituents and have influence where it counts.

Sinn Féin MPs have been named as among the best performing members of parliament in the first 'People Power' index compiled by one of the world's leading survey sites. 

West Belfast's Paul Maskey was ranked as the best performing of the north's MPs while Elisha McCallion, who is seeking re-election to the Foyle seat, was listed as the second best performing MPall out and 80th . 

The rankings, which were compiled by Change.org, show how MPs "listened to and engaged with their constituents over the last two years."

By contrast only one DUP MP, Strangford's Jim Shannon, was ranked among the top 100 best performing MPs while the other nine MPs from the party were outside the top 100. 

MPs were awarded points for the services they provide, including having a constituency office, regular constituency surgeries and their online availability to constituents.
