It shouldn't be different. That's a bug. Will be fixed within the
hour. Apologies.

Confused a little about why the RDF & XML urls use a different ID to
the
HTML page, example for labour:
HTML: http://openelectiondata.org/id/parties/6
RDF/XML: http://openelectiondata.org/parties/155.rdf
XML: http://openelectiondata.org/parties/155.xml
Is the site's internal database using a different ID (155 vs 6)?

Thought members of this list might be interested in knowing that the
Open Election Data Project website is now live at
http://OpenElectionData.org. The project is a group effort (with
support
from many different bodies) to encourage and enable Local
Authorities to
publish their election results as open data (there is no open, public
database of local election results, only a commercial one).
It's also worth pointing out that as part of this we needed to have
linked data resource URIs for all the political parties, and so we've
done that in the form: http://openelectiondata.org/id/parties/6
(for the
Labour Party, for example).
The final digit is the Electoral Commission id for the party, so it
makes it easy, given that, to work out the Electoral Commission
page for
the party (or indeed other info they hold, such as emblems).
There'll be
a very lightweight API added for the parties in the next few days, so
you can query it by name (or alternative name) and get back an XML
response. All open data of course.
Cheers
