R code to download motions from the current Dutch Parliament (2012-2015) and build their cosponsorship networks.

This is a very early draft that only produces static plots for now.

SOURCES

• Motions from the House of Representatives
• Motions from the Senate

HOWTO

Run make.r after checking the dependencies at the top of the script. The data collection process is slow and error-prone (there are many, many motions), so I recommend running the data-* scripts a few times independently.

The code in functions.r was written for the parlnet project.
