 Does a politician hold true to what s/he promises? Do they hold their line or he turn like a flag in the wind? Candidate summarizes statements of politicians from quotes, blogs, traditional and social media, and compares them with their voting behavior. Interested individuals and NGOs can submit statements of politicians in the media and their blogs to the timeline. They can then mark contradictions between statements and parliamentary votes, but also comment on incongruent behavior. Voting behavior data and contributions in social media are to be collected automatically in the next version. Does a politician hold true to what s/he promises?
