Hi all. Based on any contact you might have had with MPs and government ministers, how many do you think actually write their own tweets, blog posts, etc. and how many have just been told that it's a good way to reach new voters and promptly delegated the task to a minion? I'm just arguing the point with a friend; well, my boss, actually. He's very skeptical that any government minister would bother with the likes of Twitter, and it's mostly just made up by a junior member of staff; and while I do understand that people have staff for a good reason, I'd like to believe that some of it at least is straight from the alleged source themselves. So -- your wild conjecture, please!
