The Yoosk website recently put together a panel of bloggers to answer questions about the impact of the internet, and social media in particular, on British politics. Alongside Iain Dale, Alex Smith and James Evans I answered a range of questions:

Was the UK 2010 general election an internet election?

Which bloggers or Twitterers made the biggest contribution to UK 2010 election?

Will Twitter have a serious effect on elections?

Then there were two questions that were specifically asked of just myself (see the Yoosk site for those asked specifically of others):

Is there too much discussion about getting people involved in politics via the internet and not enough discussion about getting people who don’t have access to the internet involved?

Do you think open data will have serious consequences for election campaigning, either nationally or locally? More so than social media perhaps?
