Gregor has created an impartial online platform enabling direct, public dialogue between individual citizens, their elected representatives, and journalists--holding politicians accountable, giving citizens easy access to political information, and enriching media coverage. Through his two online gateways, Parliament Watch and Candidate Watch, Gregor casts light on the often hidden business of parliamentary politics by giving citizens to track the actions of politicians over time, giving access to speeches, contributions to parliamentary debates, and voting records—and creates forums for unaccustomed interaction between politicians and constituents.
