Who’s Speaking for You — and Who’s Silent?

Every five years, we elect 349 Members of Parliament to represent us. But how many are actually doing the work? With the country facing historic protests, controversial bills like the 2025 Finance Bill, and growing youth activism, we decided to dig into MP attendance, bill participation, and contributions in Parliament.
