Have a page for each party #455

Closed mlandauer closed 3 years ago

On the current divisions page there is a way of listing all divisions attended by each party. This is currently in a confusing place.

It would be better if every party had their own page. On this page would be a list of members of parliament for that party and recent divisions for that party. Then there could be a link to another page with all the divisions for that party.

This page could be linked to as well from the party votes summary on each division page.

Implemented the page that shows all the divisions for a party

There could also be some information about the overall figures for the party, particularly the rebellion rate.

equivalentideas commented 10 years ago

I think the list of members is more important than the divisions. So push people to /:party.name and then divisions on /:party.name/divisions (as it is currently set up.)

equivalentideas commented 10 years ago

What about the over all policy positions of the party, highlighting policies where there are rebels?

equivalentideas commented 10 years ago

Links to the party on other platforms, wikipedia etc. ?

@equivalentideas I agree that the main party show page is more important than the party divisions page. The like goes to the divisions page now because we don't have a main page! ;-)

I think the mainstream media narrative is too focused around the parties and their internal wranglings rather than the much more important areas of governing, governance and accountability. So at this point I don't think that making a party a top level object in the site would help. It would just give fuel to that distracting narrative
