State how the majority of MPs voted, rather than quote the vote title, when reporting an absense from a vote
Currently TheyWorkForyou states, for example:
On 31 Oct 2019: Rory Stewart was absent for a vote on Draft Representation of the People (Annual Canvass) (Amendment) Regulations 2019 — Data Matching — Paperless Process
https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/24964/rory_stewart/penrith_and_the_border/recent
Proposed:
On 31 Oct 2019: Rory Stewart was absent for a vote in which a majority of MPs voted in favour of "data matching" with Department for Work and Pensions records to enable electoral roll officers to identify homes where electors are unlikely to have changed since the previous year, and to use electronic means such as an email or text message to confirm who lives at such properties.
The text required to do this is already in the system, it's accessible via the "show vote" link next to the existing text.
