A Lay Persons Guide to The Conservative Campaign Leadership Race Online


Ok before I start , yes I thought I'd put my layperson tuppence say, into the conservative leadership contest. Well you've seen how the UK media got it so wrong with Brexit vote, Why ? because the people of the United kingdom decided and not the autocratic media mindset, so take this article or leave it ,with a pinch of added salt too!

Forget the bookies and forget the media  " either camp " 

Whether you're in a train, car, bus or parked car, these days we are all connected in some shape or form 24 hrs a day via a tablet, laptop or mobile phone a bridge to the digital world. We have evolved through work and leisure into a online info searching culture with withdrawal symptoms when the wifi connection is down. 


A laypersons DIY guide to the a Tory Leadership race . 


To WIki Be or To Wiki Not  that is the Google  ? 

Wikipedia

Ah yes a good place to start , everyone's , once favorite encyclopedia Britannica has truly been consigned to the back of the book shelves or thrown into skip to make way for more room ?  with the shelves to boot.Wikipedia has been the modern, info gap filler for those truly flummoxed moments, when you just can't get the grey matter to retrieve the answer.

Today's digital world allows everyone to analyse , cogitate every scrap info and data generated to gain the competitive edge. Elections are prime examples. 


Geography / languages / Countries   



Now I'm not saying that any countries or nationality of person speaking those languages prefer a particular conservative candidate ,the key online influencers are national news papers and news sites / broad casting channels who can also pay for heavy search engine optimisation, to get a candidates lead story out into the digital world. I guess it's also heavily dependent on how well oiled your PR machine is and connected with media circus.


*Please bare in mind pages and data will change as you, me and everyone else generate more data as the campaign continues until September the 9th
