On-line campaigning - where the next election will be fought?

Get ready...

Your PC, mobile and blog will in the firing line as the next election looms. Once upon a time you could avoid answering the door when you saw the canvassers in the street, or you could light the fire with the leaflets pushed through the letterbox. But come the next general election (most likely about one year from now, so if you are of a mind to emigrate to avoid it, start packing) the messages will be coming at you from all (virtual) angles.

We've got Gordon Brown on YouTube announcing the House of Commons Expenses overhaul, then, erm, well, sort of, having to abandon these plans. Then, today, the Guardian tells us the Tories are launching so-called 'war-room briefings', which the party assures us will give us real insight into the strategic workings of a major party...

All of it scares me to death - when my text message bleep sounds, I want good news of a night out, not a txt vrsion of a mnifsto, aaahhhh
