| Sure the US is the most powerful nation in the world. Sure we started a cr*p war and threaten to drag the world down with us. Sure our politicians are generally deceitful little hamsters who talk out of both sides of their mouths, and seem to represent a mysterious cabal - at least that's based on the votes they make. So it's easy to forget other countries exist that have similar problems as ours.
Take England, for example. I stumbled onto this site -- The Public Whip. It's a grassroots organization helping bring transparency to its government by recording the votes of members of Parliament and how often each representative votes with or against her party. At least...I think that's what it does. D*mned if I know exactly what's going on here. Check out the Help/FAQ page for your own interpretation. But based on what I can glean from the site, parliamentary representatives' votes are not too well recorded...or something.
Anyhow, it's worth a bit of exploring on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Who knows? It might even serve as inspiration for a similar effort here on this side of the pond. |
