An interesting talk is happening next Monday, the 14th, at the House of Commons. The VoxPolitics group are hosting an event about blogging and politics, it is entitled "BLOG RULE - Can Weblogs Change Politics?".
This sounds like an interesting prospect, I'm not averse to discussing political issues on take one onion and I think that blogging has made me think more clearly about the issues around the Iraq War for example. If politicians become more approachable, by publishing their views etc on a website then their consitiuents will feel more connection with them. Certainly I've little idea what my Labour MP has been up to, as he is a back bencher, yet he is my representation at Westminster.
It should be an interesting talk, you need to RSVP though, so read the invite.
