"All sensible people are hiding under the bedcovers" on this bank holiday but there is no rest for wicked moans Rory Cellan-Jones. Well I've got news for you Rory, millions of people are working this bank holiday and work all the others and have no choice about it

Is a flash mob democratic?

Political flash mobs?? Well if that doesn't help reduce then I don't know what will!

@ #2 Gordon Joly - lol, hardly - visions of organised marches in Communist China come immediately to mind!

Rory, you've covered the Lib Dems and the Conservatives but it seems you've left out the million pound answer to the question facing Labour in the last days of frantic electioneering, viz. ? I dread to think what Mr Brown will come up with in retort this time.

I've just read a post on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã's Have Your Say item covering the BNP's recent radio interview on Ö÷²¥´óÐã2 over the weekend. It seems the is raising enough publicity for the BNP although probably not the kind they'd like!

You could always check how voting is going on at the new site by @kieronb1 www.twitvoteuk.org.uk for a mashup of Twitter opinions and Google maps to visualise opinion seat-by-seat. Also check out how it started here

Why didn't they do another spoof music video like they did last time?

I loved the very cleverly done remix to Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" featuring Tony Blair and George Bush, does anyone remember it?

Yes, nice and 'lighthearted', though this one does seem a bit mean-spirited, not to mention selective, but fits nicely with a few in the 'positive until negative is required' politico-media establishment telling me what not to do:

a Facebook campaign to stop David Cameron becoming prime minister which has already attracted nearly 200,000 people

Thanks for the link. Maybe this mention from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã will help them get a bit more than the current 177k (being generous, but not as generous as some - hope you have no ambitions to be a returning officer). I wonder if the author had money on the bet he'd get a million. One can only wonder what result might have been generated with a similar sentiment applied to other, perhaps even less popular candidates?

Maybe the Ö÷²¥´óÐã might consider covering a twitter campaign on that, and then boost it to the main news? Just an idea. And, like the funding it enjoys, possibly unique, if not too objective.

ps: Tried the link to M. Rowntree's site, and it doesn't seem to currently even have a site.

The internet has certainly helped me decide who to vote for - the lack of Lib Dem propaganda through the letter box led me to dig a bit and discovered that a 25 year old girl who works as a nurse in a town 50 miles away and outside the constituency is their candidate.

A pertinent reminder that one doesn't elect a prime minister but runs the risk of electing a dork as ones representative in attempting to do so.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.
