MP Voting History
When MPs vote on legislation, they may not always be able to follow what their constituents want due to party politics. Until Suffrago, the only other way to let your MP how you feel about their recent votes is to send them an e-mail or message on social media; however these are often missed amongs the sheer volume of messages.
With Suffrago you can combine your voice with everyone in the constituency to let your MP know how you feel about their actions as your elected representative. You can see the 6 most recent votes in the House of Commons below, and see all their votes by visiting the MP page for this constituency.
