Ahem... could I have your attention please?

Click here to vote in the Total Politics Best Blogs Poll 2010

As this blog sinks down the monthly Wikio Political Blogging charts, all but breaking my heart as every months rankings are released; I notice that it is time for Total Politics's blog poll for 2010. It was the surprise appearance of this blog in Iain Dale's 2007 political blogging list, after just a few months of my blogging, that gave me the impetus to take blogging more seriously/waste more time writing instead of working.


So here are some questions that you might be asking regarding voting in this poll along with my answers:

Why should I vote?

If you appreciate this blog; whether for its incisive comments on political matters, for its regular highlighting of the faults of Gordon Brown & the other people who runruin this country every day or even for its regular publishing of photos of a scantily-clad Lily Allen then do take the time to vote for it. The higher this blog appears the more I will post... Is that really an incentive?


How do I vote?

Email your ten favourite blogs (ranked from 1-10) to toptenblogs@totalpolitics.com

Are there any rules?


1. You must vote for your ten favourite blogs and ranks them from 1 (your favourite) to 10 (your tenth favourite).
2. Your votes must be ranked from 1 to 10. Any votes which do not have rankings will not be counted.

4. Email your vote to toptenblogs@totalpolitics.com
5. Only vote once.

Go on vote, you know you want to...

Dear Mr. Goat,

I have been visiting your blog much more since the demise of Craig. Of course they are different style blogs with a bit of overlap, but with my main interest being BBC-bashing, I would look at Craig first.
Time constraints often meant I didn't have time to keep up with yours.

But, I enjoy it very much. There are many interesting posts here. It remains a puzzle to me why there are so few comments. Maybe it is just lack of publicity.

Also the posting method is a bit cumbersome. Is there any way of getting rid of the word verification process ?

Anyway you will appear in my top five. Ten blogs is way too many for me to keep track of !

Hi Grant,

Thanks for your kind words.
I too miss BeebBiasCraig's blog, it was always an excellent read and I wish I had the time to do the analysis that he did. Actually I have done this on occasions maybe I should just try harder.

It is a mystery to me as well why I get so few comments, maybe my visitors are particularly shy?

Sorry but I need the word verification otherwise the blog gets spammed. I'll see if there are any alternatives that are quicker to use.

Thanks for the vote!
