> The Labour Party is using the internet in a very systematic way
> this election - emails every day to supporters. This is the first
> time it has been used in this way in the UK to my knowledge.
> And no doubt it will become very standard practice soon, as
> recent figures (April) show that over 50% of the UK population
> now has access of some sort to the web.
>
> It is significant too that more than a quarter of all internet users
> in the UK earned less than £600 per month (£7,200 pa),
> according to recent figures I have seen. The Labour Government
> has put substantial resources into providing access to ICT for
> disadvantaged adults - over £500 million for up to 1000 centres
> in the most deprived wards in the country and for computers
> in local public libraries - so it could be that this investmnent
> is starting to pay off in terms of "bridging the digital divide".
