Your Party

Perfect politics

Loads of interesting political stuff via Perfect.co.uk recently. Just a sample:
Conservatives to modernise with online election focus (via this). Meanwhile Labour to do the same (via that - the comments worth following too).

Can non-US nationals contribute to US campaigns? Loads of links here.

And Perfect's Robin Grant is going to put himself forward for ITV's new Vote For Me! show. Good luck, and he should come work with us too. (And this from RichardHod: "Yet is shining under in the simulated world of modern media the best qualifying criterion we need for our next generation of politicians?")

Deliberative democracy vs Online dialogue (surprising that people see these in opposition; clearly both are required).

Survey: YP and the GLA elections in London

The latest Your Party survey is on Your Party and the GLA elections in London. It has been proposed that we field candidates in the Greater London Assembly elections as well as the European elections - which are both held on June 10th. (In these elections voters vote for the Mayor, Constituency Members and London Wide Members.) We would like to know what you think about this proposal.

The other surveys. (Our surveys are hosted by YouGov, an online research and polling company.)
