Initiative well and truly seized. Great start!

Not sure we need a humour section. Given that we are all political it should probably be semi-serious as we don't really need to appeal to the layman (fan of humour but don't think this requires it).

Your decisions though.

Thanks for the support guys! I have created an email address, where you can send content: tsrhocnews@gmail.com.

I've also created a Dropbox account where you can access and store your contributions. I hope this will make contributing as easy as possible. To find this, just go to Dropbox.com and log on with email: tsrhocnews@gmail.com, and password: politics2012.

I'm hoping to design it in a style similar to the 'i' newspaper - a mix of fact and fun without being too dull or long-winded.

It can be distributed as a PDF once a month initially and hopefully more frequently if we have enough content.

Sounding good Birchington - would you like my assistance with anything?

I think that we should have a humour section.

I think for the first issue we should be fairly introductory, with profiles of the parties etc.. so the average reader knows that TSR UKIP is different from RL UKIP, RL Tories more economically right wing than RL etc. This is presuming we're targeting people who don't know about the MHoC

Bar that, guys, keep up the good work and good luck to Birchington as Editor

How about doing a fact file on each of the new MPs?


Focussing on more colloquial things like interests, favourite movies etc.

I am up for that when my Deputy gets round to interviewing me for this Paper.

i think this a good idea, we could have like a section where each of the parties apparent policies and stance on a certain issue is compared. Sort of like DQT but more specific than just the dept in general, such as creating jobs, renewable energy, rail fees etc

I'd love to see if we could get the newspaper stickied in the News and Current Affairs section, where people might actually see it.

How about all MPs as tbh, we know oh so very little.

Yes... like no one read the first a thousand times you said it.

We could go through a different party's mps every issue for the first few issues.

I was thinking the same when it was said, but as everyone else went with it and we have a lot of MPs i didn't want to look stupid lol. Now there are two of us it changes things completely

[RoryS]

Thanks for all you're ideas guys.

In terms of managing this, Birchington is the Editor of the MHoC Newspaper and I'm now Deputy Editor mainly taking on the role of managing the content for the publication. Birchington will focus on the designing of the newspaper.

What we now need from you is content submissions and ideas for the name of the newspaper.

I also intend to PM Party leaders asking them for content.

Can we also get a volunteer to go first for an interview? I'm not sure how we're going to structure it yet.
