It's all too easy to lose track of the MP you voted for after they actually get elected.

For most of us, Westminster's a dark and shady place where strange and unaccountable things happen. So how do you know that the friendly, smiling face you voted for hasn't transformed into a bogeyman? Are they still doing what you elected them to do?

The Public Whip is here to help you through the long, dark night of representative democracy. The website lets you know how your MP votes in the Commons, using innovative software to sort, tabulate and compare his or her voting decisions.

As well as discovering what your smooth-talking devil has really been up to, the Public Whip allows you to look at other votes in parliament on issues that might interest you. And it even lets you discover your 'Dream MP' – the one that most consistently votes for the issues that matter to you!

The Public Whip's prying eye goes all the way back to 1997, so you can even use it do a past performance check before you vote for your candidate of choice. Forewarned, as they say, is forearmed.
