We thought some of you may be interested in the following -
So here is your chance express what you don't like about Parliament - and go easy on them.....................
We wanted to invite you to take part in an innovative Parliamentary online consultation called: 'Connecting Parliament with the Public' which was launched on Monday 1 March 2004 at: www.tellparliament.net/modernisation
(NB-Anyone wishing to participate in the debate can register their details by clicking on the link above, selecting the 'register' tab and then they can post their comments in the forum)
The Hansard Society has been commissioned by the Modernisation Committee to run this consultation, lasting for 4 weeks, that will make recommendations on how Parliament can better connect with the public. It covers areas such as how Parliament can better reflect public concerns, and how Parliament could be made more accessible to citizens.
The committee are very keen to open this consultation to all members of the public and especially target those so called 'hard-to-reach groups' or unusual suspects.
To date we have over 130 registered users and 78 messages posted on the site, but we really want to open this consultation right out and widen the participation to as many people as possible- and there are still 2 weeks left to have your say!
So here is your chance express what you don't like about Parliament - and go easy on them.....................

Don't complain that society is going to hell in a handbasket if you aren't prepared to at least try to change people's approach in a constructive way.
Applauds.
You are either part of the solution, or part of the problem.
The reason why I think this site is a waste of time is because ever since Mr Blair got elected he has been working to his OWN agenda and not towards the best interests of us.
He has lied countless times, he has gone back on virtually all his election promises.
He refuses to acknowledge this country is a democracy, so every time one of his stupid ideas gets thrown out by the house of lords he just over rules it anyway.
I don't trust him at all, which is why i believe this site to be a big, pointless PR exercise for the benefit of Mr Blair, so he can turn round and say "but I did ask the people".
Until he actually ACTS on one of his promises then he may as well quit now, which i believe he has also promised to do several times.
It sounds more like they're asking for advice on redecorating than anything else. But I'm not criticising it
