How are they going to find them?<BR/><BR/>What I would like to see however would be political parties incorporating a CD ROM into election leaflets. Instead of the cheap local variations that are mailed out come election time, why not have a nationwide 'election pack'.<BR/><BR/>These packs will look a lot more professional and can then be used to link to the Party website where individual canididate sites would be published.<BR/><BR/>Mass produced CDs are relatively cheap to produce and once visitors have visited the website once you can update all your news to that from there on.David Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240242801763405583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-28792163129806811752007-04-26T11:34:00.000+01:002007-04-26T11:34:00.000+01:00Er ... the Arms Trade video is in the most promine...Er ... the Arms Trade video is in the most prominent position on the front page of the 18 Doughty Street website, together with instructions on how to embed it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-20138959143153837862007-04-26T11:28:00.000+01:002007-04-26T11:28:00.000+01:00"It may be known as God's waiting room but in real..."It may be known as God's waiting room but in reality Eastbourne is changing."<BR/><BR/>I hope so.
