| I Voted For You Because... - Tell them why you voted in the 2005 general election? This is another nice little site from the MySociety people. It joins:- * WriteToThem.com — Send a message to your Councillor, MLAs, MSPs, MPs and MEPs free, across the internet * TheyWorkForYou.com — Want to know what your MP's been upto in Parliament - from debates to expenses, including elections and interests - all in one place in a nice readable fashion * PublicWhip.org.uk — Want to find out how your MP voted, or even keep tabs on a particular issue and how your MP votes on that? Well PublicWhip is the site for you. * NotApathetic.com — Want to see why other people didn't vote or went and spoiled their papers? NotApathetic has users' reasons and discussions * PledgeBank.com — Want to do something, but don't want to do it solo? Set up a pledge, print flyers, email friends and get doing things: together! These people are doing extraordinarily good work, pretty much for free. I don't know of any other country anywhere in the world that has anything similar. Their next project is "Your Constituency mailing list" which intends to provide a forum for constituents to engage with their MP. A brief mention here as well for my aggregator of UK Political Blogs and feeds. [from: JB Ecademy] |
