Not Apathetic

Posted at April 7, 2005 07:16 AM in Why Britain's Great .

Not Apathetic is a site where UK voters who don't intend to vote can post their reasons for not voting. The site's philosophy is that 40% of the population doesn't vote, and they can't all be apathetic.

Interesting idea, founded by the same people that run mySociety, which aims "to be a charitable project which builds websites that give people simple, tangible benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives" and "to teach the public and voluntary sectors, through demonstration, how to most efficiently use the internet to improve lives." So far, this mission has translated into sites through which people can easily research and contact their Members of Parliament and other civil servants.

Thanks to BoingBoing for the link!
