I just discovered TheyWorkForYou.com, a website keeping track of UK parliamentary debates and activities. As far as I understood it basically reformats and restructures the Hansard, the UK parliamentary transcripts, and makes it easier to follow, find and comment on debates as well as MPs, etc.
It’s a brilliant method to find out what MPs you voted for are doing (or not), what their opinions on various topics are, if they are joining debates (or not) and representing you the way you’d expect them to do (or not).
Ever tried to find, read and understand a “Stenographisches Protokoll” of the Austrian parliament? Or even get a global picture of different MP opinions on a certain topic?
Now I know perfectly the current state of discussion on Galileo, the (possible) European Global Navigation Satellite System, in the UK, which is quite interesting btw, but don’t have a clue about what Austrian representatives are opining on that issue. Besides the few statements which made it into the news of course.
