A good example of why “build it and they will come” doesn’t work. The new live streaming video feed of the UK parliament drew 3500 viewers in its first day while the UK census information from 1901 drew 10,000 times as many. Why? Because a) people perceive – possibly rightly – that the main decisions that affect their lives are made elsewhere and b) even if there were a debate which affected their lives it has not been made easy for them to know when it is for them to tune in and archives by subject are not available.
