How not to do it.
So a few pointers…
- You really expect your voters to type in www.linlithgowandeastfalkirklabour.org.uk ? Get real.
- And separate sites for each constituency? Really? I guess joined-up communications and corporate message just kind of got by-passed.
- A hotmail email account? For politicians? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me. (Mind you, the actual site doesn’t even appear to list proper email addresses, and just uses a contact form)
- It really helps to have the proper names in your Twitter and Facebook contact details. Not “site.com/yourname”. FFS.
And these clueless fuckers are indicative of the type of politicians who brought in the Digital Economy bill? Jesus H. Christ on a shiny metal bicycle.
Are we sure this isn’t a spoof? It can’t be real, *surely*?
I can’t categorically say it’s not a spoof, as I haven’t seen the original.
But I can well believe it, and the details match, so if it is a spoof, it’s a good spoof regardless.
And bear in mind that even on their own site, they’ve got links wrong .
Way up at the top, click on “Get Involved”. It goes to a broken-link page.
They’ve linked to getinvolved, and it should’ve been get_involved. Genius.
