I’ve attached the link to Tom Watson MP’s blog.  He’s been a Political Blogger for approaching his 6th year now.  He’s actively using mechanisms to connect with constituents and community. 

Below is part of his speech on the  Power of Information given after the commissioning of Ed Mayo and Tom Steinberg of the independant Power and Information Review .

“I believe in the power of mass collaboration.

I believe that as James Surowiecki says the many are smarter than the few.

I believe that the old hierarchies in which government policy is made are going to change for ever.

I said that I don’t believe the post-bureaucratic age argument, laissez faire ideas with a new badge.

The future of government is to provide tools for empowerment, not to sit back and hope that laissez-faire adhocracy will suffice”

And here’s where Mental Health Information and the Recovery Agenda can sit neatly with Power of Information and Digital Social Inclusion.  It’s how Mental Health can become part of everything - in the way in which those active in it already know that Mental Health really is about everything.
