Building a new OS can come later (if ever) - they first need to build decent websites for the houses of Parliaments - see http://164.100.47.132/LssNew/members/memberdebate14.aspx?mps... (JS Pagination hurts my sensibilities - as does the more than occasional broken HTML).

I've written scrapers to gather data from these sites for my website, and besides dealing with the above mentioned issues, I have to constantly beware of not overloading their servers - as an example, simply fetching the next page for each MP listed in http://164.100.47.132/LssNew/Members/Alphabaticallist.aspx without a timeout crashes their servers :(.
