  10. knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  11. collapse = TRUE,
  12. comment = "#>"
  13. )
  14. ```
  15. ```{r setup}
  16. library(hateimparlament)
  17. library(dplyr)
  18. library(ggplot2)
  19. library(stringr)
  20. library(tidyr)
  21. ```
  22. ## Preparation of data
  23. First, you need to download all records of the current legislative period.
  24. ```r
  25. fetch_all("../records/") # path to directory where records should be stored
  26. ```
  27. Second, those `.xml` files, need to be parsed into `R` `tibbles`. This is accomplished by:
  28. ```r
  29. read_all("../records/") %>% repair() -> res
  30. ```
  31. We also used `repair` to fix a bunch of formatting issues in the records and unpacked
  32. the result into more descriptive variables.
  33. For development purposes, we load the tables from csv files.
  34. ```{r}
  35. res <- read_from_csv('../csv/')
  36. ```
  37. and unpack our tibbles
  38. ```{r}
  39. comments <- res$comments
  40. speeches <- res$speeches
  41. speaker <- res$speaker
  42. talks <- res$talks
  43. ```
  44. ## Analysis
  45. Now we can start analysing our parsed dataset, e.g. find out which party gives the most talks:
  46. ```{r, fig.width=7}
  47. join_speaker(res$speeches, res) %>%
  48. group_by(fraktion) %>%
  49. summarize(n = n()) %>%
  50. arrange(n) %>%
  51. bar_plot_fractions(title="Number of speeches given by fraction",
  52. ylab="Number of speeches")
  53. ```
  54. or counting the occurences of a given word:
  55. ```{r, fig.width=7}
  56. find_word(res, "Kohleausstieg") %>%
  57. filter(occurences > 0) %>%
  58. join_speaker(res) %>%
  59. select(content, fraktion) %>%
  60. filter(!is.na(fraktion)) %>%
  61. group_by(fraktion) %>%
  62. summarize(n = n()) %>%
  63. arrange(desc(n)) %>%
  64. bar_plot_fractions(title = "Parties using the word 'Kohleausstieg' the most (absolutely)",
  65. ylab = "Number of uses of 'Kohleausstieg'",
  66. flipped = F)
  67. ```
  68. ### Who gives the most speeches?
  69. ```{r}
  70. res$speeches %>%
  71. group_by(speaker) %>%
  72. summarize(n = n()) %>%
  73. arrange(-n) %>%
  74. left_join(res$speaker, by=c("speaker" = "id")) %>%
  75. head(10)
  76. ```
  77. ### Who talks the longest?
  78. ```{r}
  79. res$talks %>%
  80. mutate(content_len = str_length(content)) %>%
  81. group_by(speaker) %>%
  82. summarize(avg_content_len = mean(content_len)) %>%
  83. arrange(-avg_content_len) %>%
  84. left_join(res$speaker, by=c("speaker" = "id")) %>%
  85. head(10)
  86. ```
  87. ### Which party gives the most applause to which parties?
  88. ```{r}
  89. res$applause %>%
  90. left_join(res$speaker, by=c("on_speaker" = "id")) %>%
  91. select(on_fraktion = fraktion, where(is.logical)) %>%
  92. group_by(on_fraktion) %>%
  93. arrange(on_fraktion) %>%
  94. summarize("AfD" = sum(`AfD`),
  95. "BÜNDNIS 90 / DIE GRÜNEN" = sum(`BÜNDNIS_90_DIE_GRÜNEN`),
  96. "CDU/CSU" = sum(`CDU_CSU`),
  97. "DIE LINKE" = sum(`DIE_LINKE`),
  98. "FDP" = sum(`FDP`),
  99. "SPD" = sum(`SPD`)) -> tb
  100. ```
  101. For plotting our results we reorganize them a bit and produce a bar plot:
  102. ```{r, fig.width=7}
  103. pivot_longer(tb, where(is.numeric), "by_fraktion", "count") %>%
  104. filter(!is.na(on_fraktion)) %>%
  105. bar_plot_fractions(x_variable = on_fraktion,
  106. y_variable = value,
  107. fill = by_fraktion,
  108. title = "Number of rounds of applauses from fractions to fractions",
  109. xlab = "Applauded fraction",
  110. ylab = "Rounds of applauses",
  111. filllab = "Applauding fraction",
  112. flipped = FALSE)
  113. ```
  114. ### Which party comments the most on which parties?
  115. ```{r}
  116. res$comments %>%
  117. left_join(res$speaker, by=c("on_speaker" = "id")) %>%
  118. select(by_fraktion = fraktion.x, on_fraktion = fraktion.y) %>%
  119. group_by(on_fraktion) %>%
  120. summarize(`AfD` = sum(str_detect(by_fraktion, "AfD"), na.rm=T),
  121. `BÜNDNIS 90 / DIE GRÜNEN` = sum(str_detect(by_fraktion, "BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN"), na.rm=T),
  122. `CDU/CSU` = sum(str_detect(by_fraktion, "CDU/CSU"), na.rm = T),
  123. `DIE LINKE` = sum(str_detect(by_fraktion, "DIE LINKE"), na.rm=T),
  124. `FDP` = sum(str_detect(by_fraktion, "FDP"), na.rm=T),
  125. `SPD` = sum(str_detect(by_fraktion, "SPD"), na.rm=T)) -> tb
  126. ```
  127. Analogously we plot the results:
  128. ```{r, fig.width=7}
  129. pivot_longer(tb, where(is.numeric), "by_fraktion", "count") %>%
  130. filter(!is.na(on_fraktion)) %>%
  131. bar_plot_fractions(x_variable = on_fraktion,
  132. y_variable = value,
  133. fill = by_fraktion,
  134. title = "Number of comments from fractions to fractions",
  135. xlab = "Commented fraction",
  136. ylab = "Number of comments",
  137. filllab = "Commenting fraction",
  138. flipped = FALSE)
  139. ```
  140. ### When are which topics discussed the most?
  141. ```{r, fig.width=7}
  142. pandemic_pattern <- "(?i)virus|corona|covid|lockdown"
  143. climate_pattern <- "(?i)klimawandel|erderwärmung|co2|treibhaus|methan|kyoto-protokoll|klimaabkommen"
  144. pension_pattern <- "(?i)rente|pension|altersarmut"
  145. word_usage_by_date(res, c(pandemic = pandemic_pattern,
  146. climate = climate_pattern,
  147. pension = pension_pattern)) %>%
  148. ggplot(aes(x = date, y = count, color = pattern)) +
  149. xlab("date of session") +
  150. ylab("occurence of word per session") +
  151. labs(color = "Topic") +
  152. geom_point()
  153. ```
