The might not be the biggest party in the UK, but The Scottish National Party are easy to find in Google. Being one of the smaller parties I'd expect big things from their web presence as this is a great way to get information and answers to people that are looking for your stance on issues. Website Their first page is pretty straight forward. There's a fireside chat with Alex Salmond and some nice big links to areas people will want to dive straight into. There's a lot more visually that co... [More]

A quick look at the Green Party website and other digital channels. I'm only approaching this from what I can find after a quick look around. I do not know what their offline marketing is pushing or how most people are using/finding Green Party material. Other posts looked at The Lib Dems, the party HTML newsletters, the Conservatives and Labour. Website The more observant amoungst you will have noticed that THEIR WEBSITE IS GREEEEEN! Yikes. The only pictures on the first page (besides icons... [More]

A quick look through the main digital channels used by the Liberal Democrats. There are probably more—these are the ones that were easily found. Other posts looked at The Green Party, the party HTML newsletters, the Conservatives and Labour. Website I'd say this was a pretty good first page for a political party website. Decent, consistent colour scheme that's used throughout. Nice rolling images showing Nick Clegg out and about, with overlaid links that lead you through to further inf... [More]

We're busy people you k... [More]

A quick look through the main digital channels used by the Conservative Party. There are probably many more, these are the ones that were easily found. Note: Other posts also looked at: The Lib Dems, The Green Party, HTML newsletters and the Labour Party. Website Taking a first glance at their website, the Conservatives seem to have a good grasp of digital marketing, and after 5 seconds I already like it more than the Labour page. They're not just down with the kids by having a Twitter acc... [More]

A quick look through the main digital channels used by the Labour Party. There are probably many more, these are the ones that were easily found. Note: Other posts also looked at: The Lib Dems, The Green Party, HTML newsletters and the Conservatives. Website Greeted by an annoying splash page with a something that looks like a flyer for a local church, you are offered two ways in: Find Out More and Continue to Labour.org.uk. I hope their policies are clearer than this. The main pages are... [More]
