Big Idea for Britain
Apr. 28th, 2010 11:12 amThis probably isn't something you hear very often, but Election 2010 Challenge has to be the cutest political site I've ever seen.
A group of stickmen queue up at the bottom of the page, and one of them bounces forwards to present its user-submitted idea for Britain to you. If you like the idea, you give it a thumb up, and the figure will celebrate among disco lights or fireworks, or release a load of balloons, then hop off to the other side of the screen while the next stickman in line boings up to talk to you. If you dislike the idea or it's incomprehensible because of the failing school system, you can bring out your inner Caesar and stab the thumbs down button, whereupon the stick figure's head will explode or be abducted by a UFO (it grows a new one), or it'll be squished by a wad of "Cash For Honours", or, wonderfully, a duck-house (it's a long story).
I'm still fascinated by the poll figures (the three links underneath the wheel). The three coloured sections have never been anywhere near that equal before, and it looks more and more likely that we're going to be stuck with a hung parliament.
