This project's aim was to help reduce political polarisation by encouraging people to turn out to vote. This was a direct response to my research in the IDM25, looking into the effects social media has on political polarisation and how it is further marginalising already politically disconnected, allowing more radical voters to have a larger share of the vote. This was achieved by creating a high fidelity prototype to form the basis of an application that can rival current news and social media platforms in information consumption. The idea being, to encourage those who use biased informative platforms - especially social media - to vary their content sources, hopefully increasing their understanding of those with differing ideals.
