I'm about to go away for the weekend so I can't give figures now. However,
there are a couple of papers on MPs blogs and one on councillors blogs in an
upcoming special issue of a journal called Information Polity. We've been told
it will be out in May. When I get back I'll try and pick out the relevant stats
and post. Councillors is significantly less than 25% - probably around 2%,
though it depends on how you define a blog and varies from one council to
another. Off the top of my head there are 50-60 MPs who blog. I'll also dig up
some findings on the moderation issue - which are quite interesting. Most
self-moderate to stop it being an issue but there have been some problems -
more so at local than national level it appears.
