Dear all - hopefully of interest to the politicos on the list. We have presented a paper at APSA on the uses of IBTs (Internet base technologies) by British political parties' members, and related implication for intra-party democracy. http://www.esri.salford.ac.uk/ESRCResearchproject/papers/lusoli_ward_apsa200...
