In an era of citizens' discontentment on democratic institutions, parliaments as a democratic cornerstone, are constantly striving to create alluring services taking, at the same time, into account the difficulty of achieving accessibility and transparency in citizens' e-participation. At the same time, the evolution of ICT tools presents opportunities to revamp the traditional character, functions and services of parliaments worldwide, giving rise to new capabilities and opportunities that can transform their political and social role. An e-enabled parliament can not only offer flexibility in parliamentary proceedings and facilitate the work of its members, but also strive for the inclusion of citizens, without annulling the representative character of the institution. In this paper, we present an initial overview of the characteristics of modern parliaments, recording existing service offerings and proposing a stakeholder-based categorization, with specific categories that can best accommodate explicit and active citizen participation within parliamentary functions. A number of existing citizen deliberation applications and research projects are highlighted as potential candidates for deploying novel extrovert parliament-to-citizen services, focused directly on citizen involvement. Moreover, the focus area based on the procedure from inclusion to feedback will give good evidence for all those factors that are necessary for a successful adoption of novel e-parliament services.

What does the term "parliament" mean? Parliament is a legislature. The name is derived from the French "parlement", the action of "parler" (speaking): a parliament means talking, a discussion, hence a meeting (an assembly, a court) where people discuss matters.

Originally these "Debates" were written by William Guthrie and edited by Johnson for the Gentleman's magazine in 1738, and were given fictitious names as "Debates in the Senate of Lilliputs." Johnson was never at the gallery himself, but had assistance from persons employed: some were the mere coinage of his imagination.--cf Dictionary of national biography, v. 10, p. 922. ; Edited by J.

I was selected for this commission as I have exhibited often in Scotland, and have work in the National Collection. My proposal was to photograph different regions - the highlands, including specific mountains; the coast; and lowland areas near Edinburgh. I chose areas I knew very well, and some I didn't, but most had a particular historical significance. There were two other photographers chosen, and the work hangs permanently, with artwork given as gifts, or from National Collections. I photographed some areas that are well known, but did them in in my usual style of abstraction and metaphor, seeking out details, and broader visions, and challenging an overtly romantic perception of the landscape. The prints show a graphic and personal view of Scotland, are archivally processed, and fall into a fine print tradition of black and white photography. The work has a historical context, as I chose places of relevance, such as sand dunes at Lossiemouth, near to where Ramsey Mac Donald, the first Labour leader was born; the brooding pass of Glencoe where the massacre took place; 'Schiehallion' the first mountain in the world to be mapped by contour lines, due to its pyramid shape; the waterfall 'Black Bob' at Pitlochry, formed by the Edradour burn which feed the smallest whisky distillery in Britain.
