Abstract

Since 2004, a whole range of data tools and sources have allowed users to ‘watch’ what MPs and Peers are doing, in terms of how they are voting, their expenses and allowances or outside interests. This Leverhulme Trust funded project examined the impact of new data tools and sources on Westminster. It asked
Who is using the new data to watch Parliament?
What and who they are monitoring?
What the impact is on those being watched and the public outside?
