THE LAST DITCH

No, there's no General Election yet. Gordon Brown is still denying the people their lawful prey and his party (not that he cares) will suffer all the more for it in due course. But until that happy day, you can at least vote for your favourite political blogs.

Total Politics (an Iain Dale publication) is asking you to vote for your personal Top 10. The results will be published in the forthcoming book, the Total Politics Guide
to Blogging 2009-10
, to be published in September.
Here's what to do:
  1. Please vote for your ten favourite blogs, ranking them from 1 (your favourite) to 10 (your tenth favourite).
  2. Your votes must be ranked from 1 to 10. Unranked votes will be ignored.
  3. You MUST include ten blogs. If you include fewer than ten your vote will not count.
  4. Email your vote to toptenblogs@totalpolitics.com
  5. Only vote once.
  6. Only blogs based in the UK, run by UK residents or (like The Last Ditch, hint hint) based on UK politics are eligible.
  7. Anonymous votes left as comments will not count. You must give a name
  8. All votes must be received by midnight on 31 July 2009. Any votes received after that date will not count.
If
you have your own blog, please encourage your readers to take part.
BUT, DO NOT list ten blogs you think your readers
should vote for. Any duplicate voting of this nature will be
disallowed. If you do not wish for your own blog to be voted for please
email katy.scholes@totalpolitics.com.

    Lousy poll format as the more notorious sites will pick up more than their fair share of votes from people who read fewer than 10 political blogs regularly.

Tom is a retired international lawyer. He was a partner in a City of London law firm and spent almost twenty years abroad serving clients from all over the world.

Returning to London on retirement in 2011, he was dismayed to discover how much liberty had been lost in the UK while he was away.

He’s a classical liberal (libertarian, if you must) who, like his illustrious namesake, considers that

“…government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.”
