Socio-political media.

The Conservatives have recently targeted Leeds with their pre-election campaign, through the use of eye catching billboards dotted around the outskirts of the City.

Following the election debate and keeping track on each party has never been so instantly networked, as both parties develop their digital campaigns. Both Labour and Conservative parties have turned to social media as both election campaigns begin to take flight. According to Brand Republic, it is thought to be the first time that a political campaign as become reliant on social media.


Labour Party bloggers mock Cameron's recent comment
on his Conservative plans for the BBC.



Labour bloggers continue to use the power of independent media to spoof the Conservative leader. The run up to the election certainly comes close to home, and away from billboard adverts as 'we the media' set out to contribute propaganda and steer the vote with conversation ahead of the election.
