How the political landscape is structured

House of Commons - MPs are elected across the UK to represent constituencies and form the membership of the House of Commons.

House of Lords - Lords are primarily appointed and scrutinise legislation proposed by the Commons.

Devolved legislatures - Oscar also covers representatives elected to devolved governments, including MSPs in Scotland and MLAs in Northern Ireland.

Government and opposition roles - Leadership, cabinet and front-bench positions provide important context for understanding which Members hold direct political responsibility for particular areas.

How Oscar Research maintains its political data

Oscar Research monitors changes across nationally elected and appointed representatives so the database reflects elections, by-elections, political affiliation and changes in political responsibility.

Political roles change quickly

Elections, by-elections, leadership changes and cabinet reshuffles can all change who holds a role. The MPs & Lords Database is therefore updated in near real time as these events take place.

Context matters

A Member's institution, party, constituency and leadership or cabinet responsibilities can be just as important as their name. Oscar records this context so customers can create more relevant political audiences.
