The political exchange was released during the 2010 UK election, with over 1,250 candidates from all parties opening accounts on the network. Jessica Reeves of the National Deaf Children's Society will showcase the NDCS use of Political Exchange during the election, and look at ideas for how you can use the tool now the election is over, including the email broadcast facility for political databases, the data mapping tool, creating an issue for an e-activist campaign, reporting for politician comments of support for your posted issues, using our re-direct tools to change message templates based on politician responses to your posted issues.
