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.

VoteMatch 2010 is here!

Still unsure who to vote for at the next election? Don’t know which party actually represents your views? Then check out Unlock Democracy and their fantastic quiz Vote Match.

Vote Match asks you some straightforward questions on the issues which matter most to you, and then provides you with a match to the political party that best represents your views.

As polling day gets closer, Unlock Democracy is launching a brand new 2010 General Election version of Vote Match in London, this Wednesday at 6pm.

The event is taking place at their offices on Buckingham Palace Road, and will include guests such as Daily Telegraph Journalist Ben Brogan, Unlock Democracy Director Peter Facey, and a surprise celebrity special guest.

If you're interested in attending, you can RSVP at www.votematch.eventbrite.com. And until the new version goes live on Wednesday, you can try the beta version at the VoteMatch website.

no doubt it is a very good way of widening the francise of British democracy if you could get on it!!! I have tried 10 times now , surely the designers of the site realised that the site would be deluged with hits , pathetic ??????

You might also be interested in www.whoshouldyouvotefor.com - we were the (Hitwise certified) most popular political site in the UK in the run up to the 2005 General Election. We have a similar approach to Votematch, but more usable (we reckon) - 1m people used us last time. Thanks.
