mnis_party_state(
  house = "Commons",
  date = Sys.Date(),
  tidy = TRUE,
  tidy_style = "snake_case"
)

Arguments

house: The house of parliament. Accepts either 'Lords' or 'Commons'. This parameter is not case sensitive, so both 'lords' and 'Lords' return the same result. Defaults to 'Commons'.
date: The date to query party standing on. Accepts character values in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format, and objects of class Date, POSIXt, POSIXct, POSIXlt or anything else than can be coerced to a date with as.Date(). Defaults to the current system date.
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 the total numbers and gender of MPs, by party, for the given date and house.
