Fun little online game about being a member of parliament for a week. It's from the UK but very similar to our own system.
I found the wide variety of crap MPs have to deal with (emails and meetings) interesting. I was surprised to see how much pressure MPs get from the party whip/party to vote their way and not be more independent when representing their constituents.
