In practice, aggregation services like this tend to have more benign results like enabling the bulk emailing of politicians. Others include the suspicion that the popularity of Theyworkforyou, a UK site run by the same people which parses open data on parliamentary speeches and votes, might have had the effect of encouraging MPs to make brief, inconsequential speeches in order to boost statistics on their relative activity in Parliament. Another area in which the effect of their data aggregation might be considered questionable is where it's used as an authoritative source that a particular MP is "strongly against" a particular "cause", when in actual fact they may simply have voted with the party line against a particular bill related to that cause purely due to concerns about one specific aspect of that bill.
