Ideas
Politics in English!
I have had a fantastic idea, which may help to re-engage people with politics.
The BBC NEWS website should provide a section in its Politics area to explain in plain, simple, and easily understandable english, each new Act of Parliament as and when it is given Royal Assent.
This would help the general british public to look up and understand what new laws mean for them, their businesses and the country as a whole.
I think it would be immensely popular, and helpful for lots of people!

Me included! I can't make sense of most of the laws because it's written in... well... legal jargon. I think this should be almost a right, not just a convenience!
