New Politiks

Disclaimer: This is not a post about politics. This is not a post about supporting the Tories. Neither is it a post about rubbishing them. This is just a post about the web providing new ways to consume information about politics.

I've been loosely following WebCameron since it launched, mainly for interest sake but also because I find it a very easy, even enjoyable, way of keeping up to date with government opposition. It's a great way to get insight into a political party, get an idea of what they're about, and also find out exactly what they do on a daily basis. I think the site is a fantastic example of useful application of the internet (unlike this blog). I'm sure that the site helps engage with a massive audience of people who otherwise might not be bothered with politics.

So, for your enjoyment I'm proving a quick excerpt from the site.



For those not in the UK. David Cameron is the leader of the Conservative Party, often known as the Tories. They are the main opposition of the Labour Party, headed by Tony Blair, who are currently in government.

Needless to say Mr Cameron is a great conversationalist so having a videoblog really plays to his strengths. Good for him I say. Just remember, you're watching a video by the leader of the Tories talking about the Tories. Don't expect it to be objective.
