Other than the surge in support the Liberal Democrats received in the polls after the first leaders debate, one of the things that’s most striking about the general election this time around is the sheer creativity that’s been expressed in blogs, twitter and YouTube by “unofficial” sources. Not that long ago, probably the most creative campaigning you saw was John Cleese making party political broadcasts on behalf of the SDP-Liberal Alliance (we must have had longer attention spans in the 80′s – it’s 10 minutes long!) If you want to relive 1987, the video is below:
So, this time around we’ve had twitter and #iagreewithnick after the first leader’s debate and the wonderfully ironic #nickcleggsfault after certain newspapers attempted to smear or scrutinise (I’ll leave you to construct your own interpretation) the LibDem leader last week.
Blogs have been busy too – I particularly enjoyed Millennium Dome, Elephant and his take on the first leader’s debate and the more cerebral Alix Mortimer’s ‘This is how we know we are right‘ post from last week.
And if you’re still working out how to vote, then perhaps this flowchart might help you …
Finally, there’s been some incredibly witty stuff on YouTube. There’s far too much of it that’s kept me entertained to post on here (and searching them out has given me a whole new source of procrastination material to keep me away from DD303), but the one below makes me smile …
Happy voting …
