If you visit the Australia Votes channel on YouTube, you will find videos posted by Australian Election Candidates (there’s one from John Howard) and other political pundits, along with comments and video comments from the general public. In the USA YouTube has hooked up with CNN to post video questions, from the general public, to Democrat and Republican Candidates for the 2008 Presidential Elections. The YouChoose channel on YouTube features video broadcasts from both Democrats and Republicans, including Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain.
It seems most probable that come the next general election in the UK (Autumn 2007 or Spring 2008) voters in the UK will be making their election choices not just by listening to BBC’s Question Time and attending local hustings but also by logging on to YouTube. For the time being you can sit back and enjoy clips from Downing Street, including Number 10 welcomes Sybil the cat.
