I don't think there's currently a prominent link on TheyWorkForYou to

https://www.mysociety.org/category/projects/theyworkforyou/ (mySociety's blog posts on TheyWorkForYou)

WhatDoTheyKnow for comparison goes further than a link and pulls mySociety blog posts labelled WhatDoTheyKnow onto WhatDoTheyKnow

I started this ticket after wondering if mySociety's polling results relating to TheyWorkForYou should be mentioned somewhere on TheyWorkForYou itsself.

I was specifically thinking of the statement:

the majority of the public (55%) believe that MPs are personally responsible for their vote, with only 15% disagreeing

from https://www.mysociety.org/2022/01/21/the-voting-instructions-parties-give-their-mps-should-be-public/

I wondered if it could be brought onto TheyWorkForYou itself, perhaps at

https://www.theyworkforyou.com/voting-information/#mp-whipping

The fraction agreeing / disagreeing be taken out of those who expressed a view, removing the 30% who responded "neither agree or disagree", making a statement eg.

"In our survey, 79% of those who expressed a view on the subject considered MPs to be personally responsible for their vote regardless of any instructions from their party"

What I've actually suggested though is not that single specific link, but more generally integrating/linking to blog posts.
