House of Comments - 100th Episode Extravaganza!

Episode 100 of the House of Comments podcast "100th Episode Extravaganza" is out. This week Mark is joined by Emma and Nick as well as former House of Comments co-host from way back Stuart Sharpe and our first ever guest from back in 2009, LBC presenter Iain Dale to celebrate our 100th episode. Topics discussed this week are the Harriet Harman and Jack Dromey NCCL/PIE story, Labour's special conference (which Emma spoke at) and the move to One Member One Vote and also whether the Conservatives and Labour would be wise to rule out potential coalition in 2015 as a manifesto commitment.

UK General Election 2010 iPhone App

My partner in podcasting, Stuart Sharpe has created a great application for iPhones for the general election. It's called Election 2010 (website is here).

As Stu says it:

...gives you tons of information about the general election. All through May 6th and 7th, this app will provide live results, telling you which seats have changed hands and which party is out in the lead. Also in the app is information about all 650 UK parliamentary constituencies (with quick links to more details from Wikipedia and UK Polling Report). You can view seats in your local area, see a map of every seat, and keep seats bookmarked for quick reference during the election. There’s also details and information about over 4,000 election candidates, right at your fingertips.

You can even send candidates emails, or call them on the phone, right from within the app.

I know how much work he put into it and it is very impressive. I expect it will really come into its own on election night once the data starts pouring in.

You should really try it for yourself.
