A report on today's launch of a brand new and particularly interesting videogame from the UK Parliament, MP for a Week, aimed at aspiring 11-14 year-old politicians.

MP for a Week is an interesting new proposition that tasks layers with recruiting a party, taking on board a constituency, choosing an area of diplomacy and then tackling the challenge of becoming a respected politician. Players are scored according to the judgements they make and the resulting effect these have on their constituency, party or reputation.
