Jo Swinson MP is today leading the way in the digital democracy revolution by being one of the first MPs in the country to sign up to the free new MyMP app which allows constituents to get closer to her work in East Dunbartonshire.
The new app called MyMP developed by Public Zone and the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) aims to create better dialogue between MPs and the public.
At the touch of a button, constituents in East Dunbartonshire can now provide Jo with their views on local issues, email Jo, read about what she has been doing, and keep up with local news, all of which help makes Jo’s work more accessible.
