#' Data set on members of the European Parliament
#'
#' The dataset contains data on all MEPs for parliamentary terms 1 through 8.
#'
#' @format A data frame with eight variables:
#' \describe{
#' \item{\code{id}}{ID number.}
#' \item{\code{full_name}}{Full name.}
#' \item{\code{pterm}}{Parliamentary term.}
#' \item{\code{pg}}{Political group in the EP. See details.}
#' \item{\code{np}}{National party. See details.}
#' \item{\code{country}}{Country.}
#' \item{\code{pg_full}}{Data frame with full info on roles and political
#' group memberships during a given parliamentary term.}
#' \item{\code{np_full}}{Data frame with full info on roles and political
#' group memberships during a given parliamentary term.}
#' }
#'
#' Technically, \code{pg} and \code{np} are the political group and national
#' party the MEP belonged to at the beginning of the parliamentary term. Since
#' some MEPs switch parties/groups during the term, \code{pg_full} and
#' \code{np_full} contain data frames with the full details of party
#' allegiances, roles, and dates.
