Hi Terence,

Although I don't know about the image size issue I read your blog and thought I should tell you that Edmund von der Burg at YourNextMP.com is already working on scraping all the candidates, and then we'll be using Democracy Club volunteers to fill in missing information. This information will all be open and available for re-use, so I hope we can avoid some duplication of effort.

Contacting [email protected] or [email protected] would probably be the best way to discuss this further.

Hi All,

There appears to be a range of sizes for the images returned by getMP
(http://www.theyworkforyou.com/api/docs/getMP).
For example
http://www.theyworkforyou.com//images/mps/10409.jpg is 49px x 59px
http://www.theyworkforyou.com/images/mpsL/11727.jpeg is 76px × 118px

Is there an upper limit to the size of these files?  I ask for two reasons.
1) I'm developing a site for mobiles & don't want to send anyone a
multi-megabyte image.
2) I want my img tags to have width & height attributes.

Is it perhaps possible to have getMP also return image-height and image-width?
