PHPNerd writes "In a bold move to connect with the next generation of young British voters, the House of Lords has launched a YouTube video series that will detail what it does and try to connect it to the younger generation. Accompanying it is a blog titled Lords of the Blog where various Lords blog about political issues and can receive feedback from anyone around the world. From the article: "We're trying to engage with younger people and people who may not be interested in politics," said spokesman Owen Williams. "We looked at YouTube because it appeals to people outside the political elite."

What do you think, Slashdot? Is this doomed to failure, or should more governments be doing something similar?"
