The idea of e-governmnet is powerful and attractive but devoid of genuine political as opposed to administrative meaning. This paper suggests that local and regional authorities might be marshalled to take e-government into the next political age by making the step change from using ICTs for bereaucratic/administrative purposes to developing a capability to mobilize political information for the common good, for e-trade, civic participation, inclusion and informed participatory democracy. It outlines the transformative possibilities offered by ICTs which might be brought to the service of the Commonwealth.
