If you're interested in politics but don't have time to sit
watching long debates and discussions, waiting for the bits that
are relevant to you, the BBC's new online Democracy Live service
may be the answer.
It allows users to view proceedings in national and European
political institutions, and to search for particular words or
phrases spoken in debates or discussions by relevance, date,
institution or person.
The service also offers straightforward introductions to how
political structures work on a range of issues, including local
government.
