Very interested to see that the BBC have launched on their website Democracy Live. This is a fantastic educational, and probably research tool, that should help students access and understand politics easier and in more depth. It follows on from a revamp to the Parliament website in January 2009 which added a youtube channel, social networking sites and more use of blogs.
Neither development will necessarily address the lack of interest in partisan politics within society, but they do significantly enhance the experience of those, especially students, who are interested in finding out more. I only briefly used Democracy Live today, but what I saw suggested that it was very user-friendly, and an excellent means of encouraging interest in political debate.
