Episode 2 Blockchain: Parliamentary Attendance Seeds Tech Tarik

Parliament is the bedrock of democracy, a place where ideas and concerns of the people being brought up by the representatives of the people, the MP's. That is why it is important for the MP's to come and be the voice of the people. The question now is how do we know our local representatives really do attend the parliamentary sessions and vote for our future? We did a little experiment and realized the hassle of getting the information. We believe there might be a better way to know the attendance and let it publicly viewed by everyone using blockchain technology. 

We had a chance to talk with Mr. Tharma Pillai, the co-founder of Undi18.  Mr. Tharma helped propelled the objectives of the organization and succeeded in passing the minimum voting rights of Malaysians from 21 to 18 years old. From this discussion, we try answering a few questions:

1. How do we get the information on our MP's attendance?

2. What can blockchain help in this matter?

3. What is the future of blockchain in politics?
