mnis_department(
  department_id = 0,
  bench = "Government",
  former = TRUE,
  tidy = TRUE,
  tidy_style = "snake_case"
)

Arguments

department_id: The department to look up. 0 returns the cabinet/shadow cabinet, -1 returns a list of all ministers.
bench: Flag to return either Government or Opposition information. This parameter is case insensitive, so both 'Opposition' and 'opposition' will return the same data. Defaults to 'Government'.
former: Logical parameter to include both current and former ministers/shadow ministers. If FALSE, only includes current ministers/shadow ministers. Defaults to TRUE.
tidy: If TRUE, fixes the variable names in the tibble to remove non-alphanumeric characters and superfluous text, and convert to a consistent style. Defaults to TRUE.
tidy_style: The style to convert variable names to, if tidy=TRUE. Accepts one of "snake_case", "camelCase" and "period.case". Defaults to "snake_case".

A tibble with information on departments and ministers/shadow ministers.
