Lib Dem MPs flock to Facebook

By | 11th February 2007 - 8:00 am

There’s been a flurry of Liberal Democrat MPs starting to use the social networking site Facebook in the last few weeks – including party leader Ming Campbell (the first UK party leader to do so, just as he was the first on Google Video and YouTube), Jo Swinson, Steve Webb, Stephen Williams and Lynne Featherstone.

Facebook used to only be open to students – and so there is a strong Lib Dem Youth and Student presence on it – but has recently been opened up to anyone.

If you are a Facebook user yourself or you become one after reading this post and wondering what on earth it is all about, don’t forget to join the Liberal Democrat group (currently 561 members, rather more than Labour’s 490).

    Actually only a week or so previously and the Observer only mentioned Ming, but nice to see someone from the Guardian/Observer computer network is reading this site :-)

    @Krissie - I think from the comments above you can see that Richard is well out of kilter with LD members.

    Thank you, @Richard Dean, for being a prime example of why I'm not going to be involving myself in matters such as Lib Dem membership....
