Idea for a website to help people see who supports who in the world of corporations and political parties
Raw
consumerism.feature
As an ethical consumer
I want to submit a list of brands I don't want to support
So that I can see a list of owners, subsidiaries and associates who I also should not support
As a left-wing political supporter
I want to submit a list of political parties I do not wish to support
So that I can see a list of companies and people who donate to these parties
As a knowledgeable person
I want to submit details about political parties, brands and companies
So that others can see their brand connections

data resource: https://pefonline.electoralcommission.org.uk/Search/CommonReturnsSearch.aspx?type=basicDonationSearch allows export-to-csv, looks reasonably useful, 9MB CSV if all fields are left unrestricted. Data will need some cleanup to normalise variant forms which seem quite prevalent - especially fullname vs initial and abbreviated vs full forms of Ltd, PLC, St. and so forth.
