Dataset
Data about German Politicians and their voting behaviour (Abgeordnetenwatch).
We will use pre-downloaded data for all available polls of the 2017 Bundestag legislature period.
For each poll we have general information about that poll in the polls.json file and the voting behavior of each politician in votes/<pollid>.json.
Potential questions
- Which individual polititian voted yes/no/abstain most often?
- Which individual polititian missed most votes
- Which party voted yes/no/abstain most often?
- Which party voted against the majority most often?
- How heterogeneous were the votes of each party?
- How often did the coalition of CDU and SPD loose the vote?
- Which individual polititians had the most (dis)similar voting pattern?
- How similar was the voting pattern of each party?
Necessary step to answer these questions
- Load the json data
- Create a suitable data structure (one large tidy table?)
Collaborative Tools and Workflow
For Notebooks (R, python, julia, js, …) with real time collaboration CoCalc seems to be the best option right now. It worked great the last couple of times so we’ll stick to it for now. You need to register an account there (it is free).
