On-line
It has been understandably a bit busy here for the last few days so I am still catching up on my internet browsing. It is a shame therefore that I did not spot this piece in the Guardian earlier about the use of the internet by the Liberal Democrat leadership candidates.
With the result due later today it is all a bit academic, but nevertheless it does point the way towards the future in campaigning terms. Whether podcasts and on-line videos will ever replace leaflets and canvassing is another matter, but they may well prove to be a useful supplement. Just as long as we can get past the Beavis and Butthead talking-heads syndrome so comically evident on Mark Oaten's pioneering first attempt.
