They are taking part in a meeting at Westminster on Monday designed to look at how weblogs can be used in politics, particularly in the light of their increasing use in the US

[news.bbc.co.uk...]

Politicians are a bunch of windbags by trade but this could throw up a few fun moments as the wrong thing could so easily be said (lets hope so:)). No party whip can undo it once it is “out there”.

Tom Watson the labour MP has been running his blog quite nicely for a while [tom-watson.co.uk...]

It was created by Tim Ireland famous for weird and wonderful stuff (sorry Tim)

"A blogging generation will be interested in an MP who blogs, because they themselves run blogs," said Mr Crabtree.

What planet does Mr Crabtree come from?

>But he admits that not all blogs will be popular, admitting that some politicians will run awful ones.
