More details
TheyWorkForYou.com does many good things, but we'd like it to do many more. We want to do things like:
* Add 'Future Business' of Parliament, upcoming votes and debates, with alert features.
* More information on MPs, including more on expenses
* More regularly update the pages which show how politicians vote from Public Whip (i.e. "This person voted moderately for X")
* Add new tools to help scrutinise for secondary legislation
* Add individal pages for each bill as it passes through Parliament
* Introduce a new feature showing which ministers haven't answered written questions
* Get ready for this summer's blockbuster constitutional revolution, currently promised by all parties
We need the funding to be ongoing because the business of running TheyWorkForYou never stops - there's always new data which needs fixing, new issues which are raised, new servers to buy and so on.

Thanks!
The 'Comment' function is particularly useful, because you can place your response right next to the speech in question.
I am happy to become a patron of this website.
