Hi,

Thank you for this project.

I was trying to use this library but I the MP´s for Portugal are not correct, they are not the ones from the last election.
For example Portugal it says that they are attending the parliament in 2021 but they are no longer there:

MPs = mepcheck.get_meps(country = "portugal")

Thanks for your help

I'm getting the following error, while trying to run the program:

jens@debian-vm:~/mepcheck$ python3.5 mepcheckCLI.py -c denmark
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mepcheckCLI.py", line 2, in <module>
    mepcheck_cli.cli()
  File "/home/jens/mepcheck/mepcheck/mepcheck_cli.py", line 16, in cli
    get_meps(args.country)
  File "/home/jens/mepcheck/mepcheck/mepcheck.py", line 36, in get_meps
    print(t)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xf8' in position 284: ordinal not in range(128)

I don't know Python very well, so I'm not sure what's wrong.

Hi,

Cool tool that you made!

I think I'm adding a few extra informations on the votes (parser here https://github.com/TechToThePeople/parlparse) in mepwatch.eu/9.

All the rollcalls are available as cvs files.

https://mepwatch.eu/9/cards/133551.csv

https://github.com/TechToThePeople/mepwatch/tree/production/9

Might be easier to fetch the data from there?
