You can now watch live or on-demand video of the happenings in the UK's political institutions and the European parliament.
Democracy Live, a service offered by the BBC, is free for UK citizens to use and lets surfers follow political debates in many different areas.
The site also lets you search for the topics and debates that matter to you and helps you find the relevant video feeds.
Head of BBC Political Programmes, Sue Inglish, said: "Democracy Live is an important addition to the way the BBC brings politics to our audiences across the UK, allowing people to see first hand the work of their elected representatives and ensuring we have a healthy and informed democracy.
"This is precisely the sort of different content the BBC should be providing in fulfilling our public service remit and representing all of the democratic institutions in the UK," she continued.
The site also includes footage of memorable moments in recent political history and an explanation of how the UK's political system works.
