Social media 'at heart of 2015 general election campaign'


Article

Political advertising on television and radio is banned in the UK. But parties are able to use social media as propaganda which allows them to get  more votes The videos - some of which have been attacked for their negative campaign messages - are not regulated by the broadcast regulators Ofcom and the Advertising Standards Authority. 

This will be a good way to get more people interested in the election debates and process, but a social media campaign targets youth, which is ironic as the age for voting is 18, and not 16, the sort of age that people who are on social media start from.
