Change "Possible friends" section to "compare their votes"

[katska]

Change the following section to be about comparing the voting records of two politicians https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/representatives/grayndler/anthony_albanese/friends

All Possible Friends Shows which people voted most similarly to Anthony Albanese in Parliament. This is measured from 0% agreement (never voted the same) to 100% (always voted the same). Only votes that both attended are counted. This may reveal relationships between people that were previously unsuspected. Or it may be nonsense.

related to #1251

@mlandauer How about something like Compare voting records

Pick someone else to compare both members voting records

Listed from voting records that are most similar (100% agreement) to least similar (0% agreement) Only shows people who have taken part in at least some of the same votes. Only votes that both attended are counted.

This may reveal relationships between people that were previously unsuspected. Or it may be nonsense.

@mlandauer this section feels off

How Eric Abetz and Slade Brockman voted compared with each other and someone who believes that the federal government should introduce a carbon pricing mechanism

Eric Abetz voted consistently against Slade Brockman voted consistently against

• Questions:
• Could we be clearer about this only being about votes where they're present?
• I feel like we're talking around the direct comparison issue with the versions of 'only when they're both there' and need to clearly say it's about direct comparison.
• Saying compare twice becomes repetitive and confusing because there are two different comparisons in one sentence here.
• Let's not use 'believe', I think we discussed sticking with 'for' and 'against'. When I look at it now I think there's an argument to be made for stance, or stand. That's what they're standing for, or taking a stance on.
• which leads to what they're taking a stand on, 'an issue' (in parliament this is the 'question' put).

How their votes stand on whether the federal government should introduce a carbon pricing mechanism Here we use only votes that we can directly compare, when Eric Abetz and Slade Brockman were both present. from https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/tasmania/eric_abetz/compare/senate/wa/slade_brockman/policies/3

Possible alternatives How Eric Abetz and Slade Brockman voted compared with each other on the issue the federal government should introduce a carbon pricing mechanism

Only votes directly relevant to this question where both Eric Abetz and Slade Brockman were present to vote.

Filling out the sentence for each might seem wordy but for me at the moment the positions hang in the air without referring to the policy.

Eric Abetz voted consistently against on the federal government should introduce a carbon pricing mechanism Slade Brockman voted consistently against on the federal government should introduce a carbon pricing mechanism

(changed believes to agrees at this point)

[katska]

put the position statements directly under their names

explanatory wording directly below the vote position comparison.
