During the last European elections, a small website, Blog: Vote, was set up to try and encourage debate about policy issues via the web.
The same people at Blog: Vote are now planning a much bigger, better version for the next UK General Election in the hope of widening political participation, encouraging mature debate and increasing the turnout. If you want to help with these admirable aims then head over and read about the plans *here*. The more people that are able to help out – from right across the political spectrum -the more likely it is that the site will be an outstanding success and make a tremendous impact on voter turnout.
Very best of luck to Jon and all at Blog Vote!
Sounds good to me!
Thank you very much for the link! If enough people help out I think that this site could make a real difference!
Hmmmm. That’s interesting.. Good idea.
I know Jon. He used to live in the room opposite to me when he was doing his PhD. I’m chuffed you’ve linked to him! 🙂 [Ed: good to know Claire! thanx]
Looks good. Now here’s hoping the election is after May 5th.
Aaron what’s the odds that there might be a pre-bugget election?
Not a clue, I’m afraid. I’m just hoping it’s AFTER that first week in May, so I can vote!
