About People's Chamber

Bridging the gap between citizens and Parliament

What is People's Chamber?

People's Chamber is a platform that allows UK citizens to vote on Parliamentary bills and compare their votes with how MPs actually voted. Our mission is to highlight the gap between public opinion and Parliamentary decisions, fostering greater transparency and engagement in the democratic process.

How It Works

1. Browse Bills

View all current and historical Parliamentary bills with complete information including sponsors, stages, and descriptions.

2. Cast Your Vote

Support, oppose, or abstain on any bill. Your vote is recorded and contributes to the public opinion tally.

3. Compare with MPs

See how your vote compares with how MPs voted in the House of Commons. Discover where public opinion aligns with or diverges from Parliament.

The Data

  • •3,865 Parliamentary bills with complete information
  • •650 current MPs with photos and constituencies
  • •236 bills with House of Commons voting data
  • •All data sourced from official UK Parliament APIs

Why This Matters

Democracy works best when citizens are informed and engaged. People's Chamber provides a clear window into how representative our representatives truly are. By voting on the same bills that MPs consider, you can see firsthand whether your views align with your elected officials—and hold them accountable.
