mnis_eligible(
eligible = TRUE,
house = "all",
party = NULL,
tidy = TRUE,
tidy_style = "snake_case"
)If the member is currently eligible to sit. Accepts
TRUE or FALSE. Defaults to TRUE.
The house to which the member belongs. Accepts one of 'all', 'lords' and 'commons', defaults to 'all'. This parameter is not case sensitive, so 'commons', 'Commons' and 'cOmMOnS' will all return the same data.
The party to which a member belongs. Defaults to NULL. The
party must be fully spelled out (e.g. 'green party'), the API does not
accept searches on this parameter. For a tibble of parties,
see ref_parties(). This parameter is not case sensititive.
Fix the variable names in the tibble to remove special
characters and superfluous text, and converts the variable names to a
consistent style. Defaults to TRUE.
The style to convert variable names to, if tidy=TRUE.
Accepts one of "snake_case", "camelCase" and "period.case".
Defaults to "snake_case"
