Some Python scripts to take publicly accessible data about UK political events and present it in hopefully interesting and/or useful ways.
This code has been put up on GitHub before I planned to, due to external events. As such, it's less than ideal in terms of code quality or user-friendliness.
- Various datasets (see below)
- Python 3
- Python colorama module for nice colour coding
NO DATA IS PROVIDED WITHIN THIS REPO.
Instead you'll have to download it yourself. This is to be documented properly, although I think all the relevant URLs are in the code if you grep for http links.
One downside is that one of the datasets is available only as an Excel file, at least that I can see. I manually saved the sheets as a set of CSVs, but ideally this extra step shouldn't be necessary.
I had intended to have some scripts to automate the grabbing and munging of the data before I put this up on GitHub, but my hand has slightly been forced by the Revoke Article 50 petition.
