Will politics ever get e-serious?

Good article from Bill Thompson in the BBC Tech site. He writes about the potential political use of the net and the role it will play in the coming election.

“The political classes will be surprised indeed if the next General Election doesn't take place on 5 May. In fact Tony Blair might even lose votes if he disappoints us and goes for another date. Apart from the date, the other thing that is clear to all observers is that the internet will play a key part in the campaign, with exhortatory e-mails, party websites and candidate weblogs all being wheeled out to persuade voters of the merits of one party over another.”
