Loic Lemeur has composed a ten-reason list for politicians, stating the benefits of blogging for them towards their voters and audience.
- To get closer to their audience, their supporters
- To create a permanent open debate with them
- To test their ideas easily and quickly, to enrich them and get new ones
- To switch the way they talk to people usually from institutional to more personal
- To better understand the criticism of the people against their ideas
- To spread their ideas easily if they are supported by many people, in a decentralized way
- To raise funds for their cause, party or campaign
- To reach a younger audience and help young people get more
interested in politics - To create around them network effects
- To become famous if you are an unkown politician, or to start a
political action, even locally.
