UK Liberal Democrats target mobile users

via The Guardian Unlimited Gamesblog reports that the Liberal Democrats have launched a mobile phone application called "Iraq War Cost, that invites users to re-assign the £5bn spent on the Iraq war to other areas such as health, education and the environment. Once you've completed your alternative spending plan you can text it in to an online poll."

In their own words:

The "Iraq War Calculator" is a free program which runs on mobile phones. Phone users can choose how they would rather have rather have spent the 5 billion which the government has wasted on the Iraq conflict.
