From Santer to Barroso: how strongly EP supported them?

The new Juncker Commission was approved by the European Parliament in October 2014 and will start its term of office on 1 November 2014. In the European Parliament’s vote on Wednesday 23 October 2014, the incoming Commission gained 423 votes in favour, 209 against, while 67 MEPs abstained. But do you know how these results compared to votes in the past? Which Commission obtained the strongest vote from the Parliament?
