Rialtas.net – Government 2.0

The UK Government (Ministry of Justice) has recently released a new initiative

http://www.buildingdemocracy.co.uk/

Building Democracy is a government initiative to support new and different means for people to address public issues.

It is funded by the Ministry of Justice through the Democratic Engagement Innovation Fund.

They want more people to participate in UK democracy, and want the public to come up with ways to make this happen.

If members of the public can think of a way to help people to address public issues and influence government, they’d like to hear it. They have £150,000 available to develop about ten proposals.

Applications are due by 26 September 2008, to date the site as recieved over 60 ideas.
