Categorising links

I find it difficult to categorise links, indeed categorising anything is difficult, its bound to upset someone (try asking a group of jazz lovers ‘What is Jazz?’ and you’ll start an argument which will go on forever… nobody can quite agree what is and isn’t jazz).

So, I have currently gone with a large category covering Liberals, Libertarians and LibDems. This covers a very wide area, but all with a general theme - Liberty (well, for the most part, a few LibDems aren’t concerned with Liberty, but they’re a small minority and I can’t think of any blogs to link to by such people).
This does have the side effect of putting euro-nihilists in with pro-europeans and classic liberals in with new liberals and even Guido in with the rest of us (but he describes himself as a Libertarian and I agree with him on that - he’s certainly no Tory).

I think this categorisation is right as I am not concerned with right/left but with liberty and freedom. This transcends the modern right/left divide. It is also subjective, if I think you’re a liberal then you’ll be in there, if you don’t like it feel free to complain :-p

Other possible categories will be Socialists (if I ever find any socialist blogs worth reading which don’t send me into fits of apoplexy) and various non-political sections, but they will come (or not) as I get round to it.

Anyone feeling left out by not being on my list, speak up and I’ll add you (if you reciprocate of course :) )
