Websites

With the Internet as it is the communication that an MP could have with their voters is never ending. Many MPs now use email, blogs and social networking sites such as facebook and twitter to gain voters and convince people that they should be kept in power. The voters also have access to all the information they need on the party’s website such as the manifestos that they have set out for that particular district.

Many of the parties now have websites and use them to try and boast their popularity amongst voters right before elections, however there is one main problem with this. Anything that a party comments on, on their website is available for everyone across the globe to see and a lot of the time it can be twisted into something they they didn’t intend it to sound like.

Having website like this can also be a problem depending on what country you are in. for example if you are in a country such as China there are strict rule onto what the party is allowed to say and therefore it is used much less.

This has all benefited the growth of the internet because it has meant that everyone has access to all the information they need in one place so more people are going to use it. it also lead the way to more political chores being done over the internet. For example with direct.gov you are able to carry out multiple functions which the government required you to do such as renew your TV licensing and your car tax.
