Councillors, MP's and the Internet

Unless propective councillors and MP's have a good working knowledge of the Internet and emails, they should not be considered for election, according to an independent information source.

Many serving policitians are thought to have gone past their sell-by date - some relying on their support staff. What this country (and this town) wants is elected officials who are up to the needs of today.   It is never too late to learn or go back to school (college, private tuition or call it what you want***) - and that applies to anyone who does not want to be left behind in this day and age of instant messaging.
