I think greater connection between citizens and policy makers, politicians, and our elected officials is a wonderful, wonderful idea. I support initiatives like this whole heartedly.

For an example of how powerful open data and statistics can be there’s a wonderful talk on TED from 2006 (there’s another talk the following year if you’re interested too):
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html
Hans Rosling presents the dynamic use of statistics and open data buried in UN databases and makes it free. It’s a great video.
