John Bercow, speaker of the House of Commons, was set to launch an online game for young people to understand the workings of Parliament.
Although aimed at schools Parliament.uk says the site will be open to everyone and uses:
…rarely seen footage of the House of Commons giving players a real feel for what it’s like to walk the corridors of power. Several MPs from a variety of political parties were interviewed and feature in the game to provide advice to users and help steer them through the various political dilemmas they face in a very busy parliamentary week.
Players get to decide how to work during their day and keep voters and party – while dealing with lobbyists, ministers and the press.
Aside from the obvious snide gags about what that means they can claim for while playing the game, serious gaming is a great way of learning about a new topic.
Be interested to play this and see what it is like.
