Try emailing your MP to see if they let you work in their constituency office for a week. But you need to be persuasive.

Total waste of time. MPs are not interested and it wont actually teach you anything useful.

This work experience can be anything - it doesn't have to have an connection to a degree subject or career.
Working in Tescos for a week will teach you heaps about turning up on time and getting on with people. No Economics degree requires work-experience. Unis are actually looking for evidence of your academic interests, not wandering about someone else's office space.
