Here in Canada we’re in the midst of a federal election. The Parliament was dissolved a bit ago and the campaign is starting to get going (sort of a semi-start since the Holiday Season is going to come in the middle of the campaign towards the late-January election).
After the success of blogs in the American Presidential election, one might think Canadian Federal parties would wise up to this. Think again. They are totally missing the boat.
There should be great, witty, partisan blogs on each of the official party websites and links to un-official (but supportive) blogs too. How about a nice OPML file of all the blogs supporting a particular party? That would be cool.
Politics is like business in many, many ways. Blogs work for this so well. Personal opinion, passion, wit, clever writing. This yells “Blog me!”.
I came across your site while doing a technorati search on the upcoming election. I’m very much up in the air about who I’m going to be voting for and wrote a letter to each party (http://blog.monkeywork.net/?p=139) I’ve since gone out in hopes of finding other bloggers who can share with me their opinion as I really do want to make an informed vote this time around. If you get a few mins check out my site and let me know what you think of the letter.
