Parliament Tracker

About Parliament Tracker

An open-source platform that makes parliamentary records accessible, verifiable, and understandable.

What this is

Parliament Tracker collects publicly available parliamentary data — voting records, mandates, committee assignments, speeches — and presents them in a structured, searchable format with full source provenance.

Every fact on this site links back to an official parliamentary source. We do not editorialize, rank, or interpret. We organize public records so citizens can evaluate their representatives based on evidence.

Independence

  • Parliament Tracker is not affiliated with any political party, government, or lobby group.
  • The project receives no funding from political organizations.
  • No politician, party, or interest group has editorial input or review power.
  • Data processing is fully automated — no editorial judgment is applied to determine what is shown or hidden.

Open source

The complete source code — including all data adapters, the processing pipeline, the scoring methodology, and the website templates — is publicly available:

gitlab.com/pat.sc/politics

Anyone can inspect how data is collected, processed, and displayed. This is deliberate: transparency about the transparency tool is not optional.

Editorial policy

What we show

  • Verifiable parliamentary actions: votes, mandates, committee work, speeches, written questions.
  • Biographical facts published by the parliament itself (birth year, constituency).
  • Cross-reference identifiers from established open data projects.

What we don't show

  • Opinions, editorials, or commentary.
  • Unverified claims from social media or news reports.
  • Aggregated "trust scores" or "performance ratings" that obscure their methodology.
  • Private information not published in official parliamentary records.

When we're wrong

If you find an error, please report it. Corrections are applied promptly, and the source record is updated with the corrected data. We do not silently alter data.
