LONDON, April 13, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- UKIP has launched its Sod the Lot manifesto and Lord Pearson's party are giving voters the chance to see and hear their prospective parliamentary MPs ( PPC's) thanks to the UK's fastest growing video communications company Winkball.
UKIP say they're bringing canvassing into the 21st century and more than 60 of their candidates have recorded bite-sized video manifestos for voters to view on line at Winkball.com
The 2010 campaign is being hailed as the UK's first on-line election and the most eagerly anticipated in decades. Winkball are embracing this grass roots enthusiasm and say they'll interview all 3000 Parliamentary candidates from all constituencies across the UK.
Hundreds of PPCs have already turned to Winkball's 'Do you know who you're voting for ' campaign and are actively on the site urging the public to vote for them.
Each candidate can sum up in a video interview what issues are most important to them, and where they stand on key policies to give voters an insight into issues that are affecting their local constituencies. Voters can respond with their own comments, recorded on web cameras, or can even leave a question in a hope that a candidate will respond to them.
The UKIP prospective candidates who are already on line include ex UKIP leader Nigel Farage - Buckingham, Dr David Sebastian Fairweather - Banbury, Waheed Rafiq - Birmingham Hodge Hill and Charles Dodman - Eddisbury.

This is truly an on-line 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.
