I’m Backing Boris

As a Salford Councillor I don’t tend to blog about local politics in London unless there’s a local angle to it. Today, however, I will make a brief exception.

Our candidate for London Mayor, Boris Johnson, has just launched a new website to support his campaign, and to be perfectly frank it is one of the best political websites I have ever seen. It is exceptionally well-designed, clear, concise, attractive and easy to navigate. A great job – hats off to the designers!

Of course, Boris has a strong history of using new technology well. He was the first Conservative MP to start a blog, after all.
