Is it essential for people to need to live near a constituency in order to research it? Wont most of it be done online? So for example you seem to be oversubscribed in the constituencies that I have signed up for (London) - would it be better if I dropped them and picked up 5 that don't have anybody?

There's some visualisations here: http://www.democracyclub.org.uk/statistics/ We're probably just going to start by asking everyone who's signed up to invite some more people. Then, when we're down to the last 15% or so, we'll ask people if they specifically know anyone in a missing constituency near their current one, e.g. http://www.democracyclub.org.uk/constituency/worcester/ We also thought we might provide some feedback on how well an individual has done on recruitment -- "badges" or similar to "reward" them for helping out. Judging by the current coverage, it looks to me like we probably have lots of students signed up, which means their contacts are likely to be all over the place, rather than nearby, so that approach might not help as much as we're hoping. Anyway, I just wanted to take the conversation wider to see if anyone has any other suggestions for smart targeting of recruitment?
