Digital Pledges

    Digital Pledges

    Labour's Tom Watson using digital pledges tool to compile campaign leaflet:

    "I want to stand on a platform that is avowedly supportive of the generation that seek to use the Internet to make the world a better place. To do this I have to be able to draw authority from an electoral mandate from electors in West Bromwich East. So I'd like to produce a leaflet that sets out what I stand for. It will be delivered to as many homes in West Bromwich as my campaign team can manage."

The Straight Choice | The election leaflet project

    The Straight Choice | The election leaflet project

    Live Election Leaflet Monitoring Project:

    "Election leaflets are one of the main weapons in the fight for votes in the UK.

    They are targeted, effective and sometimes very bitter. We need your help to photograph and map them so we can keep an eye on what the parties are up to, and try to keep them honest."

    Excellent resource for researching political campaigning, but also valuable historic record of campaign material.
