Politicians Blogging for Blogging Sake    Have they notlearnt from our PAP's pathetic attempts at blogging (e.g.George Yeo, P65, Ypap blog...)
  
  
The reason why they dont work and why the BN will also fail miserablyis because political blogging is more than just owning a blog.
  
  
      It is about no holds barred, but respectful, engagement with
anyone on cyberspace.    
    It is about putting yourself out there to criticisms and
alternative thoughts.    
    It is about leveling the playing field between agents of
disparate status and power.    
    It is where ideas and thoughts have more currency than position.    It is most
definately NOT about just creating a new channel meerly to propagate
your message - another podium for you to speak and be heard.
  If
there is no engagement, there can be no enlightenment.
