    Hi! I came across it via a collection of data visualisations here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pushandplay/2968259379/ (as mentioned in the credits at the end of the deck). Sounds like an interesting project - will look into it a bit more.

    I noticed you have used a systems model map that abstractly describes the reasons why the UK are obese. I was invovled in the project and was wondering whether you found that diagram via shiftN who created it for the DTI Foresight Tackling Obesities project?

  30. issues of legitimacy?
  31. “The fear is that, by forging a path between the ... Weberian defence of the state and the democratic Habermasian defence (a path manifest in the concept of 'civic hacking' that mySociety represents), that we get some hybrid of bureaucracy and democracy, that is neither quite as effective as the former, nor as empowering as the latter” Will Davies
