Could we say on the homepage somewhere that we have MPs' voting records? #722

It would be great to be able to point people to a page where we showcase the excellent voting analysis that has been done.

At the moment, when landing on the homepage there is no way of knowing about the voting records without going on to individual MPs' pages.

It would be great to highlight this useful information, especially ahead of the general election next year.

A nice attractive big box (essentially: advert) on the homepage saying "Check your MP's voting records before you go to the polls!" with a box to enter your postcode would be ace.

@Gemmamysoc the parts of this referring to the election are obviously now out of date, but do you still think we should have something extra on the homepage about this?

Hmmm..this isn't so relevant now the election is over. But I still think it would be nice to elaborate on 'Does your MP represent you?' - maybe by adding some text underneath the postcode box along the lines of 'See how they voted and what they've said in parliament on your behalf'. This just make it really clear what the site offers from the outset...
