What a month November has been.  Since sending the word out as best we could for the UK site we have seen the users increase, the hits increase and the engagement increase.  

In November I attended the Slugger Awards where I got to talk with Basil McCrea & Fred Cobain.  I asked them for their endorsement to for their profiles and they said no problem.  If their was anything else I needed just to give them a call.

The second Scottish Politician to endorse their profile was Patrick Harvie from the Scottish Green Party.  He is the second Scottish Politician to engage the other is Tom Harris MP Labour, they are both from Glasgow.

In November I got the first letter from a Politician, that was Douglas Carswell MP.  I would like to highlight the engagement that Mr Carsell is already doing with the public.  Mr Carswell's blog attracts upwards of 30,000 unique users a week!  That is an incredible amount of users for one MP's website considering Slugger O Toole gets upwards of 30000 a month, no doubt with Slugger O Toole continues it will easily achieve this.

The UK website started getting its first Polls running in N.Ireland, Scotland and England.  No one has yet to put forward any topics for Polls in Wales.  I think the most positive part of the month was the call from Peter Robinson's office.  The call was in response to mail that went out to all Politicians.  The First Ministers profile has now been updated and now just waiting on official endorsement coming from Peter Robinson.

I met with the University of Ulster's student groups for Sinn Fein and Fianna Fail to give them more information and background to R8 Your Politician and talk a little about R8YourPolitician.IE

As the people of N.Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales start to hear about R8 Your Politician and use it, we are now working to release the R8YourPolitician.IE in response to the huge interest from the Republic of Ireland and with Fianna Fail's movement north.

We continue to drive forward with what little resources we have encouraging the electorate to make use of this platform and engage.  Leave a review for a Politician and rate them.

Politicians are watching!

November also we tested out the new Facebook E-Petition application and it went well that should be released in the next few days.
