Other ways to get publicity

Even if you don't have a web-site for your local party, you can still use the web to get publicity. As an example of a place where you might need to take your message, try this experiment:
  • Go to a search site like Scoot or Yellow Pages.
  • Search for 'political organisations' in your post-code area.
  • See how far down the list the Liberal Democrats come (if they're even there at all).
If your experience was like mine, then you probably saw a lot of Conservative and Labour links, and not many Liberal Democrat ones.

Fortunately the web enables you to do something about it immediately! You can submit your details to Scoot online using this link. To get in the Yellow Pages, you need to call 0800 533433.

Party Links

This list isn't comprehensive. Other people are providing more comprehensive lists of links already, and so, to avoid duplicated work, here are some links to some of them:

See what the competition are up to

To get an idea of what competition are up to, here are links to the Labour plus Computing for Labour, Conservative, SNP and Green party web-sites. I'll be sending out reviews of the different sites in a future edition of e-Campaigner.

Activist links

In recent state elections in Minnesota, an independent candidate called Jesse Ventura used an email mailing list and a web-site - alongside more conventional campaigning techniques - to defeat both the Republican and Democrat candidates for the State Governorship. There's a more detailed article explaining how his campaign used the internet inside his site.

The best site I've found on internet campaigning so far is one called the Virtual Activist. It goes into great depth on how best to use email and the web for activist campaigning.

If you're still unconvinced about the speed that the internet is taking off, try reading some of these articles.
