Votepods No More

So the election is over, the horse-trading has begun and the Votepods team are piecing together the evidence we collected about public participation through our Ten Big Lottery and BT sponsored debates.

• Did music make a difference by attracting non-anoraks and relaxing the meeting so exchange was more “full and frank”?
• Did we attract people who’d never been to political hustings events before?
• Did postings audio on itunes and video highlights on YouTube extend proceedings to an online audience?
• Did we fill halls or attract a minimum of 200 people every time ?
• Were audiences generated by voluntary agencies and pressure groups representative of the general public? 
• How well did politicians perform?

We hope to have an analysis online next week. But if you attended a votepod debate and want to give some feedback – which doesn’t have to be complimentary but should try to be constructive! – please email us via the Votepods website. Click here
