We want to kick-start a revolution of participation in British politics by changing the way it is perceived by the public. Catch21 seeks to achieve this by producing shows all over the UK, which will attract young people - those who are seen as the least likely to be interested in the traditional style of politics - by including well-known public faces.

Is this what you are looking for?

Are you like most people and wondering who your MP really is other than a name on a piece of paper? Well, Catch21 is allowing your MP to properly introduce themselves to you. We will be providing short and snappy 2-3 minute interviews with new MPs who have only recently been elected to Parliament following the recent general election (and by-elections).They will be telling you exactly what they want to do, what other MPs they like and even what special talent they have, all in a few easily-digestible minutes. Consider it the speed dating of the political world!

The video campaign will be running from the end of June until late July / early August and is being supported and promoted online by the Hansard Society, Dod's Parliamentary Communications (via e-politix), Operation Black Vote and The British Youth Council. Videos will be released one or two a day, providing the perfect brief diversion that will make you more informed and able to discuss the crucial issues affecting our society today. So make sure you do not miss this easy opportunity to actually see the faces behind the names and learn more about the new people running this country.
