In the next few weeks, we’re delighted to welcome both Nick Clegg and Chris Huhne to Lib Dem Voice as twice-weekly guest contributors. Both Nick and Chris will be given a blank page of 500 words (or multimedia we can handle!) to address party members reading this site.
The first contributions will be today, with regular doses every Tuesday and each weekend. Good luck to both candidates!

Great!
but … if it is multimedia it will exclde (for example) deaf people who cannot follow the spoken word from videos and podcasts – unless subtitles or parallel texts are provided. And if it takes an age to download… well some of us are still not on broadband.
Candidates campaign teams please note!
Surely you can afford broadband?!!!
I’m a low local govt admin salary and I’ve managed!!! ;@)
I’m sure it will be most interesting…
Even with broadband I don’t often watch on videos as it’s harder to take in the information quickly. Whereas text I can scan through pretty quickly and take in the bits I want.
I do have broadband, but video is tricky when I’m not at home, whereas I can read text on my mobile on the train.
This is a welcome move
How about extending it to an online interactive session?
@Jo A, sometimes broadband simply isn’t available, or isn’t an option in certain areas or buildings. There are some rural areas still without, and sometimes some people are limited for other reasons: while I lived in my Torquay flat the expense of installing it (and getting the building rewired to do so) for the brief period I planned to live there wasn’t worth it. Especially given the need for a one-year minimum contract, etc.
I managed to run a very succesful blog and a huge bunch of other websites with a dial up connection. Now I’ve moved to London and have broadband, my blogging and web-management has almost tailed down to nothing.
Broadband isn’t needed, and for a chunk, isn’t an option, so campaign teams ought to note that the web is best served with text, and always provide transcripts and similar, just good practise.
