Presence of Nepali Political Parties in Internet
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Door-to-door campaigning is a thing of the past. In the pre-Internet era, you had to write an opinion column in a newspaper or send a letter to the editor to have your opinion published. Otherwise, you could rant your political opinions only with your close friends, family, co-workers and passers-by at the local tea shops. Today, anyone can do a Facebook Live, post a status on a social networking site or comment at the end of many views and articles, or create a poll — all with a much larger audience. Facebook posts and adverts are being used to target voters. The political debate today has a much different meaning. Why? Because more people are speaking out and being heard.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Global Scenario
In the United States, White House uses Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Reddit to connect with Americans. The emergence of political enthusiasm for the internet owes much to U.S. culture in the 1990s. Internet connectivity was spreading from universities and corporations to an increasingly large portion of the population. During the Clinton administration, Vice President Al Gore made the “Information Superhighway” a flagship concept. He linked the development of a high-speed digital telecommunication network to a new era of enlightened market democracy.
Online video changed how we view and digest debates.
[http://www.businessinsider.com/internets-influence-in-politics-2016-12]
Inexpensive webcams, audio software, and video-sharing websites like YouTube Self allow us to create self-produced video and upload it to large servers with ease. Politicians are using online video too — for Q&A’s, live streaming debates, and appearances. By July 2012, Obama’s YouTube channel had over 200 million views. Think of how costly that time would have been on TV or radio!
These changes have only scratched the surface of what the Internet has provided for the political realm. Even as the current election season wraps up, we’ll continue to hear of new Internet innovations and technologies, ones that were used to reach voters already as well as ones that are just emerging.
Donald Trump talked on Twitter during his campaign, but Facebook was the crucial tool that helped elect him, says the man who directed the digital aspects of the Trump campaign. In a “60 Minutes” interview, Brad Parscale says he handpicked Republican Facebook employees — he calls them “embeds” — to guide him with the placement of microtargeted ads. On Saturday, Facebook’s chief security officer Alex Stamos released an unusually raw tweetstorm defending the company’s software algorithms against critics who believe Facebook needs more oversight.

Conclusion

It is found that almost 30 % parties have no websites and contents on Wikipedia and in social media. It seems that by the increased no. of mobile phone and internet users in Nepal; Political parties have approached on the web but not yet at the satisfactory level.
Many politicians all over the world run campaigns on the promise of change, communicating a positive message to potential voters. In thinking about the impact of the internet in politics, we usually consider how social media, websites and other online resources are used as a vehicle for political communication. Yet, its impact as a symbol and a powerful narrative is equally strong.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
