Being An MP Is Not Child's Play
METRO - 15 January 2010
MP'S are struggling to master a computer game for 11 year olds . . . on how to be an MP. The 'MP For A Week' game features on the official parliament website and is aimed at sparking interest in politics in young people. Metro asked youth minister Dawn Butler to have a go. But she was criticised on day one of the game for putting a footballer on a finance and economy committee. However she managed to salvage her reputation by 'creating a powerful [cut and paste] speech' on lowering the voting age and was praised as an 'excellent MP' overall.
The game can be found at:
