Swiss parliament minutes scraping
Is the Swiss parliament really useful ? Once elected, what are our councilors talking about ? Who is answering to who ?
Goal of this project is to answer some of these questions and many more. To do this, we are planning to:
- Scrape the parliament website in order to retrieve councilors bio, topics discussed and minutes
- Structure them in session, intervention (with rank/order), author and text
In order to perform some analysis, as
- person vs. vocabulary
- dialogue order
- gender
Our github.
