Can politicians ignore the new media? - 18 Sep, 2006

Liberal Democrat conference
Tuesday September 19, 6.15pm
Ashdown Suite, Holiday Inn
Speakers: Baroness Shirley Williams
Nick Clegg MP
Lembit Opik MP
Tim O'Sullivan, BT
Chair: Clare Ettinghausen, Hansard Society
How can politicians communicate
with the public and how can the public communicate with them? Is there a danger
of innovative communication methods taking politics away from consultation and
debate towards flashy new technology? Are politicians any good at using modern
communication?
Star names from the Liberal
Democrats will be debating these points at a "non-geeky" fringe meeting on
modern communications tomorrow in Brighton.
