The future of political communication
I remember the arguments in Conservative Central Office about how much to spend on party political broadcasts. They were always unbelievably expensive. Now David Cameron's advisers have come up with a solution - make them without any production values whatsoever.
But, shaky camera and all, anyone interested in the future of political communication simply has to visit the new Webcameron site.
The Goodies used to talk about the Lord Privy Seal while pictures of a Lord, a privy and a seal flashed up on the screen.
On Webcameron the Tory leader is, I am not making this up, stacking a dishwasher while talking about cleaning up politics.
And your point is?

Metaphor, dear boy, metaphor.
Seriously, though, is this *really* the future of political communication? Or is it just what people who have got their jobs by virtue of being good at (or being perceived as good at) *contemporary* political communication *think* it will be like?
I will be very interested to see what WebCameron is doing in a year's time.
