My Top UK Political Blogs
Upon compiling this I discovered that several of my favourite blogs have disappeared (I hadn’t noticed largely due to subscribing to the whole libdemblogs feed). Very sad. I hope that they return soon. I’ve also left off people who haven’t blogged in a month or so.
Anyway, my top twenty in alphabetical order-
Andy Mayer - http://andymayer.blogspot.com/ - no holds barred when attacking our political opponents. Also very good when he writes the occasional more philosophical piece. An all round good read.
Bishop Hill - http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/ - Firm on his liberal beliefs.
Chase Me, Ladies, I’m In The Cavalry http://chasemeladies.blogspot.com/ - Hilarious
Cicero - http://cicerossongs.blogspot.com/ - Firm liberal with interesting insights. Especially on Russia and Eastern Europe.
Globalisation Institute - http://www.globalisation.eu/blog/ - Liberal economics think tank making the move to Brussels. Big fans of Richard Cobden.
7Guido Fawkes - http://www.order-order.com/ - Try not to take him too seriously…
Home Office Watch - http://www.homeofficewatch.com/ - LibDem Home Affairs Team keeping an eye on the Home Office etc. I suspect they’re a bit weighed under…
Jock Coats - http://www.jockcoats.org.uk/ - Very intelligent discussion. Big fan of LVT.
Liberal Burblings - http://paulwalter.blogspot.com/ - Interesting, intelligent and poses me with some questions :)
Liberal Bureaucracy - http://liberalbureaucracy.blogspot.com/ - Some very good insights into the workings of the party and a generally good read
Liberal England - http://liberalengland.blogspot.com/ - A classic of blogging. Interesting, witty and amusing.
Liberal Legend II - http://www.liberallegend2.blogspot.com/ - A welcome return to blogging. Keeps us up to date with events in China as well as general liberal views.
Love and Liberty - http://loveandliberty.blogspot.com/ - Very interesting and well written - if a little long winded ;) Oh and lots of Dr. Who
Millenium Elephant - http://millenniumelephant.blogspot.com/ - A very clever little elephant who sees things us humans don’t often see.
Political Betting - http://politicalbetting.com/ - Has a good look at polls and elections. Interesting even for those of us who don’t bet.
Quaequam Blog - http://www.theliberati.net/quaequamblog/ - Still a good read after the several years I’ve been reading it. Hard hitting, witty and interesting.
Richard Allan - http://www.richardallan.org.uk/ - Sporadic blogging, but interesting when posts are made. A focus on technology and politics - he’s a great loss to Parliament as one of the few politicians who understood technology.
Samizdata - http://www.samizdata.net/blog/ - Some very good libertarian posts, although some of the commenters are a little swivel-eyed and nationalistic. Some of the contributors are excellent.
Stephen Tall - http://oxfordliberal.blogspot.com/ - Well written, informative, interesting and liberal. What more could you want from a blogger?
Tim Worstall - http://timworstall.typepad.com/timworstall/ - Prolific blogger on economics and politics. Liberal to the core, although he is a euronihilist.
Honourable mentions of blogs past:
Liberal Polemic - now sadly gone.
Forceful and Moderate - http://forcefulandmoderate.blogspot.com/ - No recent postings, was very good when it was active.
Agent Musco - All gone
Pigeon Post - Now a Splogger blog
Liberal Review - Seems to be inactive now

Where has Liberal Polemic disappeared to?

A month is a bit short time to know whether somebody has stopped blogging. For instance Charles Anglin, another blogging libertarian Lib Dem, seems to post only once in a month. I think that if somebody hasn’t posted for three months, it is reasonable to assume, that the blog is inactive.

I am honoured to be on the list of such a discerning fellow. (#)

Tom Papworth, who writes Liberal Polemic, has his hands full at the moment fighting a by-election in Crystal Palace Ward, Bromley Borough. This might explain his lack of blogging.
Thank you Tristan for such a high ranking!

Toby/Julian: If Tom is actually fighting the seat then that might explain the removal of his blog. Hopefully normal service shall then be resumed…
gg: I did use the LibDem blogs feed as my basis which I think has a cutoff of 3 months. Charles Anglin’s blog now you mention it is one I recall liking, but its slow rate of posts means I forget about it…

I’m merely hiding my light under a bushell until the hawks pass on.
However, they are apparently trying to get the local paper to run a story about something unkind I might have said about Labour activists. Apparently, the Labour candidate is going to write a letter to me expressing how hurt he is that I was mean.
Sounds like they’ve nothing to say about the area or people’s concerns, so they’re attacking me personally.
Ah, the joys of democratic politics!
