LONDON, March 31, 2010 - It's a first for the South. Voters are being given the chance to see and

election and the most eagerly anticipated in decades. WinkBall are embracing
this grass roots enthusiasm and interviewing all the candidates in the North

WinkBall say they're bringing canvassing into the 21st century - via
their initiative "Do you know who you are voting for". WinkBall co-founder Dr

electorate in the South has never seemingly been so interested in politics.
This is truly an online election and gives voters an amazing insight into so
many prospective parliamentary candidates. We are aiming to interview and
feature as many PPCs as possible on WinkBall.com".
