What makes this house unique?

• Our house rules.

• The diversity of members: bloggers, academics, civil servants, people of faith, policy officers, campaigners, wonks, lobbyists, journalists, geeks, you.

• Members can use the internet to check facts or provide references during debate.

• Motions can be introduced on the spot.

• Members can raise their “Evidence please” placards to force another member to find the evidence that supports their statements.

• After each sitting the house produces a brief document that summarises the debate and draws parallels or divergence from related debates in Westminster.
