The order of the fields does not matter.

Fields

All parameters are optional, but if you don't include any of them, nothing will show up.
Do not use capital letters. They might disrupt the code.
The parliament field may be a combined name and numerical id (e.g. nick-clegg/1563) or numerical id only (e.g. 1563). Either format will work.
