Words in Parliament

Quickly analyze how specific words have featured in political debates of different national parliaments in Europe.

Once you have chosen the words and the parliament of interest to you on the right-hand side, we visualize their prominence in all plenary speeches over time, across different parties, and across individual speakers.
