Votes are imported into Memopol database
Journalists attribute score to recommendations
Memopol computes representative scores
Exemple
- Vote concerning ACTA takes place
- Journalist recommend voting against with a weight of 500
- Representatives voting against get +500
- Representatives voting for get -500
- Score decay makes older votes loose weight
- Representative score is the sum of their scores per vote
