Tom Watson blogs from Parliament
Tom Watson is a member of the British Parliament (Labour Party, to be exact...as if I have any idea what that implies). He has a blog. He has a very good blog, in fact, and I'd like to suggest that our career politicians could learn a few lessons about his use of technology (and transparency) to communicate. Here's a sample post:
I had lunch with the Japanese Ambassador today (note the casual way that was dropped in as if it happens all the time). He was charming. So was I. That's why I failed to pull him up on this disgraceful political act conducted by his bosses in the Japanese Parliament. Rest assured comrades, it wouldn't happen in Britain. Oh no.
OK...so much of it is pretty provincial, requiring an insider knowledge of MP business or the UK political climate to fully appreciate. But I applaud his efforts, as well as blogroll them.
