venndiagrams: fuckyeahvisualdata: Senior UK Politicians’ Voting Records on Gay Rights (via mkandlez) This pretty much sums up why I vote the way I do. I’m of the pro defence spending and pro gay rights crowd. I know that’s fairly unusual - hey, maybe I’ll get a venn diagram about that some day… What would be interesting would be to collate data on the “absent” people in such votes, and what party they belonged to: if an MP doesn’t tow the line and has been advised against voting on a bill, do they vote anyway? Glancing over “theyworkforyou”, older Tory MPs tend to, as they’re “old school”, newer Labour party MPs do not, which is a shame. It would be nice to quantify this at some point.
