p2pnet.net News:- The UK parliament is failing to communicate effectively with the public and its web site needs a radical overhaul, says a report by the Hansard Society, quoted by the BBC, going on:

“Chaired by film-maker David Puttnam, the Hansard Society Commission makes 39 recommendations to improve the way Parliament communicates with the public.”

One of them is a major overhaul of its web site.

“A parliamentary internet should be for the public, not the people who work there,” the BBC has Gemma Rosenblatt, the clerk to the commission, saying.

According to the report, the parliament site, "remains, in essence, an online archival resource, impenetrable to most people, difficult to navigate, with almost no opportunity for interaction and a wholly inadequate search engine.”
