It is a fact that ALL parties are ' harvesting ' Information. If you think the party you support is not targeting you if you are a member, on twitter/Facebook etc. you are simply shutting off from reality.

As for young people I hope they are more astute than our generation as to misinformation/political persuasion being directed at them, from' whichever ' party. I say whichever party because ALL parties are using social media as the tool of choice.
