I was musing about politics and news today, place a group of politicians in a room, and inevitably you will find more arguments than agreements, and more problems than solutions. However, all would agree one one thing; communication is an art that must be practised with extreme care and attention. Communication is the business of politicians, they are it’s salesmen. This has been true since even the oldest civilisations of humanity.
However, the types of communication used by politicians has been morphed throughout time, so that skills required to be a successful member of parliament today are much different to that required 100 years ago. Today the world is dominated by television, the internet, and 24-hour rolling news services. This means that for the first time in our history, we now consume news in the present, rather than the past. Our society today is more instantaneous than anything our grand-parents, or their politicians, would have comprehended.
