Sharing is good, using an API to create interesting live content is good, but mixing all this with politic can lead to disastrous consequence. Is this site really useful? or will this only reinforce the fact that politicians really do what they want and are mostly a waste of space? some of the messages are more than depressing: Darren Jones [Lab] - “is drinking the finest SU champagne with the candidates...” Lynne Featherstone [LD] - “Off to Chinese Lib Dems Chinese New Year dinner” Stephen Gilbert [LD] “is going into the gym - let the pain begin!” http://tweetminster.co.uk/

I guess it can't all be in-depth policy debate - some of us have other stuff going on too..

Indeed, showing politicians as human beings is always a good thing, they are close to the people they represent. I still think Tweetminster should be about politic and the issues of the day, show me that you fight for my rights... a politician should not try to become a minor celebrity via tweetminster. With the job come responsibilities, you haven't been elected for the perks of the job, and considering the current economical climate, modesty should be the word of the day.
