Consider if there will be too many policy lines on MPs' voting records if all the proposed lines are added #1678

There are currently 92 policy lines in /classes/Policies.php

There are currently 60 outstanding policy line proposals

Harriet Harman MP who entered the House of Commons in 1982 has 97 lines listed (some are duplicated under different headings).

An MP who entered the House of Commons in the 2019 General Election (example) currently has 32 lines listed.

The changes proposed will, roughly, result in a similar number of lines on a newer MP's page as are currently listed for Harriet Harman.

There are currently 13 categories, and there is a proposal for one more: "Justice". After the changes there will be 152 lines in 14 categories, an average of ~11 lines per category.

It looks as if the current presentation will reasonably suit the additional lines proposed.

I propose closing this ticket if there are no concerns relating to this subject.
