MP’s… what are they thinking?
MP SurveyCitizen Engagement in Public Policy – A Survey of Canadian Members of Parliament
What does your MP think about online campaigning? Do they prefer hand-written letters over emails? Has a Facebook group ever changed their mind on an issue? Do they Twitter? These are some of the questions that will be asked in a new research project by Nanos Research, J. Thompson Communications and Five Stones New Media Consulting.
The survey will be administered throughout the spring 2009, with a final report appearing in The Hill Times at the end of April and online in various places (including right here!).
We have posted the draft questions on the Wiki for comment:

What do you think? Are we missing anything? Your suggestions and comments are greatly appreciated!

Great initiative! I’m looking forward to seeing people comment on the wiki, and then to seeing the results shared after the survey is deployed.
We’ve just published a UK version of this… the report is here (survey questions are in the appendix so might be useful!)… http://is.gd/kGh8.
One comment: our survey was annoymous on purpose, you might like to rethink asking for name – the data will probably be better

I’m baffled trying to find the most current info here, Or has little been happening since February?
Looking forward to seeing the results of the survey and anxious to learn what’s up next…
I have been compiling a database of all Federal & provincial MPs with twitter, here is a list of the federal MPs so far.

It would be great if this survey can find the missing ones.
