UK's Virtual Parliament

Problems and Purpose

It encourages two way conversations between policy creators and the public that results in enhanced policies and a bettter informed public.

History

The Virtual Parliament is a not for profit UK website that allows the general public to vote on policy ideas and suggest their own. These can be reviewed and rated by all and will be promoted, based on popularity, to the main page. When a user submits a policy it will be placed in the 'Upcoming Policies' area until it gains sufficient votes to be promoted to the main page. The site administrators have also published the main policies from the major UK wide parties for the public to vote on.

Virtual Parliament is a revolutionary policy voting and debating forum. All the major party election policies are available on the website, where anyone can vote and debate them, and even suggest their own policies.
