There would be six parts to the site:
 
a) Joining / profile : Members can sign up by OAuth (Twiter, FB, etc),
OpenID or create an account. They can then enter some basic details
and upload a photo (or choose to always use their Twitter or FB
current user pics).
 
b) Verifying their identity : This is the key part - associating the
account with a specific person at a specific real-world address. My
best way of coming up with this is to ask the person to make a £1
donation to one of a list of charities, using PayPal / Experian to
supply the name and address of that the credit-card info / PayPal
inputted data and then linking that to the account. Obviously this is
highly sensitive data and we would need to be very careful how it is
stored, transferred, etc.
 
c) Creating campaigns : Groups such as Amnesty, 38 Degrees and local
campaigns can apply to create campaigns on the site. This would be
manually moderated. Campaigns could be flagged as "local" (and then
limited to a sub-set of post-codes) or national.
 
d) Users express interest in campaigns : Once a user is verified they
can see the list of all campaigns that effect them (all ones that
cover their post code and all national ones). They can then select to
support (or remove previously given support) from any campaign.
Optionally they can opt to support annonymously.
 
e) MPs and other officials : Of particular interest to MPs but can be
seen by anyone. For any given constituency list the local and national
campaigns with the most signed up people in that area. Show statistics
like "3083 named people  and 71 anonymous people out of 10,293
registered voters in the borough of Enfield have Stood Up to support
keeping Chase Farm A&E open". Optionally show micro-pictures of people
who have expressed support for the campaign in that area (blanks for
anonymous).
 
f) Public campaign pages : Each campaign would have it's own generated
page with text and artwork and the ability to list the names (and
numbers of anonymous but verified people) who have pledged support for
that cause - broken down by constituency.
