UK: Election tool for skeptical voters

30 March 2005

Channel 4 are setting up a site that allows you to check the facts behind the statements made by politicians, chaotic_mind notes in our forums. C4 claims that the site will offer "unbiased scrutiny of speeches, interviews and manifesto pledges - informing public debate by creating a popular resource for an information-hungry electorate."

"Whether or not it can quite live up to this claim is a good question. But, it should provide a source of interest", writes chaotic_mind. Discuss it here.
