Britons get better election info than any election, ever, anywhere
Stef from Britain's magnificent political engagement site TheyWorkForYou.com writes,We believe we have the untold story of the election. By May 5th, our site expects to have attracted over 500,000 visitors, since the start of the campaign. Unlike the political parties, we have no TV spots, no advertising budget, no granny farmers, and no marketeers except our users (and me).Link (Thanks, Stef!)Furthermore, we will have given them more detailed factual information about how their representatives performed than any electors have ever had at any election, anywhere, in history.
