Hello! We are mySociety – we run most of the UK’s best known democracy websites
mySociety represents the crystallisation of a lot of widely shared thoughts and concerns about the problems facing democracy, government and technology in the UK at the moment. James Crabtree first gave the idea formal shape in an OpenDemocracy article, suggesting that the UK government should set up a civic hacking fund to do things like mySociety does now. Then Tom took the idea, gave it a polish, and set up mySociety outside of government (with a little help from about 50 people). Many of the core people in mySociety were hacking on projects that fitted into the vision (some long before there was a mySociety) and so we’re really a rich mix of influences.
