So you’d like to be the next mayor of London… Why spend thousands of Pounds on a campaign only to find out people don’t really think you’re the one to run their city when you can sign up on Londonelectsyou and nominate yourself?
You can sign up for a profile and set up your manifesto with your views on just about everything and if you don’t feel like running then you can sign up and vote for your favorite candidate. Even if you aren’t from London you can state your opinion on the site and have your say. Most comments seem to be welcome.
The nominee with the most votes will be announced soon and they receive £50′000 for their campaign deposit and their election campaign.
The candidates are using social media to promote themselves. By using everything from blogs to podcasts to garner support, thereby increasing their votes with people voting for them on the site, candidates are trying to become the most popular. Talk about an innovative use of social media, the democracy of the web is taking a bigger step into politics it seems.
