Abstract:
|
This paper presents an indepth analysis of the effects of the Internet on individual political behaviour in the UK with a specific focus on the effects of organisational campaigning and contacting online. Using data from an NOP survey of 1,972 adults during May 2002 we provide a current overview of the size and basic political characteristics of the Internet audience in the UK. The study then examines the extent to which political organisations such as parties, pressure groups and protest networks are using the Web and email to promote themselves and mobilise support. The major findings to emerge are that although those engaging in online politics tend to be well educated and drawn from a higher socio-economic class, there is also a ?radical potential? underneath these figures that shows the Internet is reach previously disengagedgroups. |
