Sweden's Back Bench Screensaver
The Sweden's Back Bench screensaver shows motions filed in the Riksdag, from the parliament's own key-less API. A motion comes from an individual member or party rather than the government, so this is the chamber's back bench — most never become law, and filing one is how a member puts a position on the record. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
