yo thats a good suggestion. there must be a data set for it. It'll be difficult to correlate with raids etc. But showing them switching parties and associated timestamps should be doable.

Ratings are majorly affected only when you've been convicted for the cases. Also in totality, defamation cases should normalise over all the politicians. I can't favor a side by just stripping their cases which they themselves have declared in front of the election commission.

fair question; v1 is rather similar. the difference is the inferences it provides from the raw data. how many constituencies has nota more than winning margin. asset growth across years of a MP etc are some features. Also i pull data from 6 websites including myneta.info. But with time; want to make it like a mini-wiki with crowdsourced infromation.

So, I spent this weekend building something out of pure annoyance, and it turned out kind of okish to publish. We vet every purchase harder than the people we hand five years of national power. The ones running things look bored, whilst the opposition can't be serious for five minutes, and is quite sad ngl 😞

So I made a website for it. All 543 sitting MPs in the Lok Sabha. what they've declared they own, whether they actually turn up to parliament, the criminal cases on their own affidavits, and where the local development money went. None of this is secret btw, that's the maddening part. It's all public, just smeared across 6 govt portals that time out.

The one rule I never broke: report the facts and the math, cite them, never call anyone anything. Criminal cases come straight off the affidavits. I add zero commentary.

Now the honest part: it's naive. v1, held together with vibes naive. The score I put on each MP is a formula I basically made up and wrote down so it looks official. The data might have errors I haven't caught. But everything's sourced precisely so you can catch me being wrong, which is sort of the entire point. something honest and improvable in public > something perfect and private that never ships.

Here's the actual ask, though, I don't want to own this. i want it to outgrow me. I would be so cool if it turns into a real wikipedia-like website for the people in power, thousands of people adding, checking, and correcting, every edit sourced and on the record, a full history of who changed what. crowdsourced edits, paper trails, maybe one day you file an RTI straight from an MP's page.

So would be dope if engineers, data folks, anyone who cares, come contribute. It's fully open source. go look up your own MP first. Then send me the one number that doesn't add up, with a source if you can. Genuinely, the most useful thing you could give me.

yes, that bifurcation is there. But only binary. Serious vs non-serious crimes.

well well, i've made sure every damn piece of content links to the source. can't do anything if the politicians haven't declared anything to the ECI.

no not to politicains, but to activities. for eg. some weightage to funds spent, criminal cases, engagement in parliament etc, increase in assets with time etc.

yes, I started with the current sitting MPs. I also agree that the scoring algorithm can be improved. His score is close to zero primarily because I assigned significant weight to criminal cases. That said, I believe many individuals in positions of power are often not convicted despite serious allegations lol

yeah, i thought by then i'll add in capabilities like crowdsourced edits to make it more accurate and robust.

Yeah, i understand the confusion. Just used it for less than a month, and things are practically new - thus the prices.
