 Internet Causing "Crisis" in Politics? | Personal Democracy Forum
This morning's hot story on the internet and politics comes from across the pond in England, where the BBC reports that Tony Blair's departing chief strategy adviser Matthew Taylor says the web is producing a "crisis" in how politicians and citizens relate to each other.
Taylor also compared British citizens to "teenagers" and suggested that they could be "caricatured as being increasingly unwilling to be governed but not yet capable of self-government."
But Taylor ought to realize that he is blaming the public for a system that was designed by politicians to keep the public out, with the result that we think the worst of them.

 A crisis in politics? | MetaFilter
The problem is that politicians (and political activists in the environmental movement) created the word sustainability as a political device to describe an end result while hiding the sacrifices required to achieve it.
Taylor was not slamming bloggers, or people, or complaining about democracy per se.
He was talking about debate being pushed to the extremes by the virulence of the British media, and in particular their eternal "all politicians are stupid and evil" mantra.

A reasonably well attended debate provoked a little discussion if few genuinely contentious points, and while the pro-Europeans won both votes (before and after) the sceptics seemed to gain more by the end, although this may be as much due to the change in audience as in their persuasive powers.
Taylor has singled out the internet, and the blogs thereon, as fuelling a 'crisis' in the relations between politicians and voters.
The problem for Taylor is that it was his party which, in the late 1990s, ruthlessly used the media to undermine and condemn every frailty of the wretched Major government, and then sought to straitjacket it when they themselves came into power.

Matthews turned to his baffled guest, Lois Gibbs, the Love Canal resident who is widely credited with bringing the issue to public attention.
Matthews compared the vice president to "Zelig," the Woody Allen character whose face appeared at an unlikely procession of historic events.
But rather than work out these dilemmas in partnership with their elected leaders, they were encouraged to regard all politicians as corrupt or "mendacious" by the media, which he described as "a conspiracy to maintain the population in a perpetual state of self-righteous rage".

 Janet Haven: December 2006 Archives
This is a couple of weeks old, but I just came across this article in the Beeb, in which Blair's outgoing strategy advisor, Matthew Taylor, frets about the internet's apparently disastrous role in civic engagement.
But in countries like the United States and the UK where (arguably, perhaps) the government is largely obligated to be resposive to its citizenship, it seems clear that governments simply haven't figured out how to deal with the rising tide of individual voices.
And by "deal with", I don't mean "silence"; it seems to me like Taylor's hostility to citizen media is based much more on confusion and a lack of imagination within government circles over how to channel and respond to those demands effectively than on the fact that they exist.
