BBC PM today reported on plans by the EU Parliament to release their own social networking site, to rival Myspace and Facebook, but aiming solely at MEPs and MPs from member country's. This will "allow more discussion" and "help with integration" apparently.
There's not much info immediately available but the site is going to be called (imaginatively) MyParl and is being launched in October and will be edited by one Daniela Vincenti-Mitchener who claims that MyParl "aims to create an online space to facilitate debate between national and European parliamentarians of the 27 EU Member States".
MPs and MEPs are clearly so special that they need a dedicated site. Now I've always managed to talk to people quite happily on the existing sites. Which are free, in case you hadn't noticed.
BBC statement was that MyParl is going to cost over £3m.
Another great use of our hard earned taxes. If there's one group of people I hate more than our MPs, it's our MEPs.
