We already know that Iain Dale et al are doing 18 Doughty Street. But where are the lefty vid bloggers?? Will they be playing catchup? We over at Voxpolis are divided over the impact of video on line- Jonny thinks that no person will want to watch it on the move like they listen to podcasts, and if they did then they will fall over/ walk into lamp posts/ crash their cars whilst watching.  He’s also not too convinced that politics will work well in this format.  I think it has potential. Apple certainly think its the future. The Right think it’ll catch on. Will Jonny eat his TV remote if he’s wrong?

Many viewers may still be at the curious stage at the moment (many of them, no doubt, hoping to find a real mess) and it will be interesting to see whether Cameron can sustain this level of interest. The lack of young voters are an issue for the government and techniques like this could go some way to encouraging them to vote.
