Hello
My name is Mike Simpson and I have been working in the House of Commons
for 3 and a half years.
Over the past year, I have been developing a website which seeks to make
MPs more accountable to their constituents and also help increase public
participation in politics.
The website is now completed and undergoing a beta test. I have shown it
to a number of MPs (including Zac Goldsmith and Robert Halfon) from who
I have received positive feedback and I am continuing to receive
feedback from the public- which has all been very positive so far.
Representatives from the Speaker's Digital Democracy Commission have
also seen the site, as it ties in with their ambition to get more people
involved in democracy, and they are also very enthusiastic about its
potential.
Just out of interest, what does your site do that isn't offered by
existing sites such as theyworkforyou.com and writetothem.com?
(This isn't a criticism, I'm just curious as to what weaknesses you have
identified in those sites during your research)
