Mashup politics - when everyday democracy meets the web
The personal democracy forum conference (and unconference) are over until 2008. Two main things struck me. First, the younger generation (as Danah Boyd pointed out) don't think of the internet as 'not real' - it is an indivisible part of their social lives. It follows that the virtual/physical divide won't be as obvious in the next elections either. The Pew survey on politics and the internet shows how quickly things are changing. In 2006, 23% of people who are using the internet for politics...

That was a party political broadcast...
I’ve been following an interesting thread unpicked from the loud, often shapeless YouTube quilt. On March 5th a YouTube user called ParkRidge47 uploaded a video called Vote Different.

Lessons from Bulgaria
Discussions about eastern Europe – especially those countries that are due to join, or have just the joined, the EU – tend to fall into two categories. First, there are the negative stories that express worries about immigrants from the new member countries coming to the UK in droves, distorting the lower end of the labour market, or placing even greater strain on overstretched public services. Second, there are more positive descriptions of the role that eastern...
