This is how we should maintain and pass laws. To see which legislator proposed / amended which paragraph etc.

Might be interesting to see the authors of the tax law etc.

This data must exist as this is how parliamentary systems work and (MP's Senators, Congress Persons) should in theory have this data.

Might be very good to allow civilians to look at the data but it does require that you really understand your particular country does things.

Having said that the Executive can "Get away with Naughty Shit" and that's a quote from one on the MP's that lost out to John Bercow for speaker of the HOC.

Yep, that is the long term agenda of the project. Most (all?) amendments have certain socio-economic/political context which gets lost over time. Amendments (and laws in-general) are better understood when the context is well laid-out.

I'll add all such contexts to all these amendments, including who tabled the bill, how did the debates go, were there any following judicial reviews: all that data.
