In Brief;
If we make raw information easy to access, large numbers of people can break it down, helping us to find out things we don’t already know - breaking the traditional policy-making monopolies.
Using clearer, attractive data visualisations can help to engage sections of the public who normally tune out political discourse.
In turn, this will break open the policy making space and ensure that it is no longer monopolised by groups which generally have a single interest at heart and often operate with considerable degrees of bias.
How can politics benefit from this growing movement?
Andrew Stott was Director for Transparency and Digital Engagement for the United Kingdom Government until December 2010. He led the work to open up government data and create "data.gov.uk". After the 2010 Election he led the implementation of the new Government's commitments to introduce greater transparency of central and local government within its first six months in office.
The Translation Layer
We often ask politicians to embrace innovative ideas from the worlds of social media or gaming and use them to solve long-standing problems.
Never before have we faced a position where so many key concepts are not fully understood by policy makers and their stakeholders. They’re tough concepts to grasp if you don’t work in these industries. A Translation Layer is needed. Applying these solutions to the obvious problems with policymaking can help improve an understanding of the wider opportunities presented by innovation.

Political Innovation
A series of meetups and short talks at which people with ideas on political innovations can mix with technical experts, journalists, bloggers, politicos and others with an interest in politics and public affairs to grow and promote innovative projects.
About the Political Innovation Translation Layer events
Many of the key actors in political life – elected representatives, tabloid newspapers, lobbyists - have been shaken by new demands for transparency in recent years. The world of think-tankery is next.
In a recent set of short essays on the Political Innovation website, Dr Andy Williamson has set out a list of problems found in any policy-making ecology in which Think Tanks are influential, along with an outline of what a more transparent and efficient alternative could look like. These events explore how innovative concepts can transform policymaking - and what politicians can learn from this for wider application.
