How well do you know your MP?

Whatever your answer, we've got more!

Our website TheyWorkForYou has always made it simple to find out who your MP is, how they’ve voted and what they say in Parliament. But with MPs often instructed to tread the party line, what really differentiates them?

We've introduced a bunch of new features to help you understand your MP, their motivations and their interests.

New on TheyWorkForYou:

Find your MP by entering your postcode on the TheyWorkForYou homepage, and then...

👥 What’s my MP into? From football to railways, and lots in between: you could find you have interests in common on the Committees and APPGs tab of their page.

✍️ What have they put their name to? They might have been told how to vote, but these are where true opinions can be seen. Check out the Signatures tab.

🗳️ What does that vote really mean? MPs can make their feelings clear in the debate before a vote. We're signalling more clearly when that happens. 

💬 What’s the background behind that debate? Sometimes there's more to debates than meets the eye. That’s why we’re adding commentary to some debate pages.

💗 How do I know when Parliament is discussing something I care about? With our email alerts, you can subscribe to your own MP's activity, or any word/phrase you choose. We've made big improvements to the interface. Give it a go!
 


If you’re interested to know more about any of these features, rewatch our video in which we talk through them all, or read Alex's set of blog posts here.


Tell us: how much do you know about your MP and their activities?  

😵I don't even know what their name is

😕 I can tell you their name, but not much more than that

🤓 I know what they think about the issues I care about

😎 I know everything about them

We'll let you know the results in our next mail-out!
We’re so excited to be adding new features that expand what TheyWorkForYou can do. Want to help? Your donations mean we can do more, faster.
