What happened: A free online game called Politidex allows users to 'catch' and train UK politicians, similar to Pokémon. The creator aims to humanise politics and change public perceptions.
Why it matters:
- It offers a novel way for people to engage with politics, especially younger audiences.
- MPs and the public may experience politics in a more relatable, interactive format.
MNN Take: Politidex uses familiar gaming mechanics to make political figures more accessible, potentially encouraging greater interest and understanding of UK politics.
