Apologies in advance if this is a case of me not RTFMing - but I'm
looking for an XML-based API that would provide access to historical
data for electoral results. Basically, what I'm after is the source
data that makes up the 'Election Record' section of MP's pages on the
BBC Democracy Live site, e.g:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/democracylive/hi/representatives/profiles/27859.stm
Although the Beeb's done a nice job of marking up the HTML so it
could be scraped, it would be *much* nicer if there was an API
somewhere that could provide this.
Does anybody know of such a source?
A quick Google leads to this, which clams to have data for results from
1992 - 2005:
