Barack Obama's success in the 2008 US presidential race--dubbed the Facebook election--is credited with persuading politicians around the globe that they couldn't ignore the digital world. His re-election in 2012 was a powerful reminder.

Here, Miller wonders the impact of the digital campaign as more and more politicians are using social networks to engage with voters.
