October 12, 2004 Local politicians are WIMPS...? WIMPS (Where is my public servant?) is a new website designed for and by young people in Northern Ireland to encourage political participation. Slugger links to it first here. Possibly one way of dealing with the political apathy of many youngsters in Northern Ireland? While parts of the site appear to be still under construction, the FAQ section explains: What is wimps Wimps (Where is my Public Servant) is a website set up and developed by a core group of 10 young people from around Northern Ireland. The site’s aim is to build the relationship between young people and their public servants, i.e. the people who make the decisions for them The site has no bias view on politics other than that we feel young people should be able to influence decisions that affect them and be encouraged to take action on issues that they feel are important.
