It is good to see that
politicians are using technology to help them prise votes from the electorate.
Boris Johnson and Gordon Brown have both separately pledged to improve access
to the internet.
Tax cuts used to be key to
winning over voters but Gordon wants to give laptops and broadband to poor
families while Boris wants London to become "a Wi-Fi city" where the
internet is available anywhere and everywhere.
But what the government gives with one
hand it takes with the other. "A large Hadron Collider for all" will
be the next political flier to come through your letterbox.
