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

Star names from the Conservative
Party will be debating these points at a "non-geeky" fringe meeting on modern
communications on Monday in Bournemouth.
