Motivation[edit]
WikiProject every politician has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead.. To quote the Inter-Parliamentary Union's website: "Parline is the reference point for authoritative data on the parliaments of the world. It comprises 600+ data points for every country where there is a functioning parliament. Parline is produced with the cooperation of national parliaments, who provide and check the data through a network of Parline Correspodents." Thus it's both authoritative and useful for verifying various related data points. Popperipopp (talk) 13:15, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Discussion[edit]
Support – Great source, even though it's a pity, that there is no linking possibility for just the chamber_id. --Newt713 (talk) 09:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
