This doesn't currently include parties, as there is not data on them on the official site, and I couldn't immediately see it anywhere else. There is one noble listed without a constituency - this matches what's on the official site.

Parties are rather important in a Tongan context, as this is only the second Parliament since the reforms under the new king, where they first became allowed, and there was lots of haggling over them (with the lead party offering ministry positions to independents if they would join up, so that they could form a majority and not have a Nobles-led government)

However, even more importantly, this data doesn't include an id column; has mis-matching Term data (the records all say they're for the 2010 Term, but the terms table only lists the 2014 Term); and has quite a few invalid URLs in the images column too.

Images now %quoted to get rid of spaces:

Term for the records set to 2015 to match the terms table (I believe I chose 2015 rather than 2014 as the date the session started rather than the date of the election).

I still can't see who's in what party anywhere. It looks like parties are still basically unofficial.
