Thread: Political parties: Online presence

OK, so I see someone is plugging away for RDP on HelloNam in a Social Group, and the new party does have a pretty informative and decent web site which is also listed on this web site in the Directory

And then there's the Congress of Democracts, who don't yet have a social group here but have a web site listed in the Directory, but there seem to be some technical issues here (not a good omen, now is it?).

But what about the dominant SWAPO and the other smaller political parties, liek DTA, Nudo, RP .... I think it's reptty obvious that having a web site is not a priority for Namibian poliutical parties, since the vast majority of Namibians do as yet not have full-blown Internet access, and other media such as radio and television are far more important from a strategic and policial commmunication point-of-view.

But I do also think the fact that SWAPO does not have a web site says something about this organisation. Have they become far too comfortable in power and simply don't see the neede for an online communciation strategy, or don't they have anthing interesting to say to the world and thos Namibians that are online? Or am I simply looking in the wrong place? After all, web sites such as this get a tremendous amount of traffic from foreign visitors.
