Liberal Democrat Blog of the Year

Liberal Democrat blog of the year: make your nomination. Guido could have been a contender but they refused his membership application.

Guido's favourites? Suz's blog, without a doubt. The pink has it...

Or how about Neil Craig. Expelled from the Scottish Liberal Democrats for, gasp,expressing non-party views on his web site, which can be found here.

No connection either with Mr Craig or the web site. My selfless interest is just in making the Lib Dems look dumb. Though in fairness they need little help.

In Like Flynn said...

Mmmmm... the competition is fierce...

Juvenal said...

Presumably you're only plugging Suz's blog because she's hot totty (or what passes for hot totty in the LibDems)

Croydonian said...

Looks like she didn't see your pre-election anarcho-capitalist Flash extravaganza, as she's written this:

"Definitely puzzled which way Guido Fawkes' blog swings".

i spy strangers said...

I thought The Darbyshires was priceless, until it mysteriously disappeared. It was the 21st Century equivalent of 'Diary of a Nobody' - except that I don't think it was meant to be a parody!

Somebody please tell me it's back?

i spy strangers said...

Aargh! I see it is back:

http://thedarbyshires.blogspot.com/

(They seem to have moved to Singapore.)

I wonder what the LDs will do with all the names & addresses they collect from this survey?

Ratbag said...

I agree with I spy. Let's give it to the Darbyshires.

Oh god...double entendre....

who knows said...

being rejected by the LibDems. unsure what should be said about this....given that they ought to be desperate. on reflecton they are just fantasists. so a lucky escape for Mr Fawkes, me thinks!

Juvenal said...

The Darbyshires say "this blog is strictly no sad geeks" - that rules out all LibDems at a stroke.

However, I see Mrs Darbyshire has has posted photos of herself in a bikini. That should win a few votes.

Ming the Merciless said...

For philosophical accuracy: the Cameron Leadership blog.

For artistic taste: the Darbyshires (or we could annoy them by nominating the spoof anti-Darbyshires site instead).

Cmdr.Adama said...

Bit of a nuisance - but aside from occasional mentions along the lines of 'i used to be a libdem, but i'm alright noow' The Darbyshires surely isnt a liberal blog?

Ratbag said...

Surely once a Lib Dem, always a Lib Dem...unless you're Jeff Clarke, or Adrian Graves or Rene Kinzett...........

Juvenal said...

I wish you'd never started this one. I'm becoming obsessed.

How about Will Howells:
http://www.willhowells.org.uk/blog/

A genuine LibDem blog with categories for Car Number Plate Spotting (honest) and Doctor Who.

King of the geeks

Obviously, it's Millennium Elephant - coiner of the nickname "Mr Balloon" for David Cameron. Check out his review of V for Vendetta a few days ago.

I've never bothered looking at the Darbyshire's site but thought I'd give it a look just now.

Nice body but her face is like a Snap-On toolbox with the spanner drawer open.

Guido

Thanks for the promotion - so surprised. Coming from you it's just great.

Just been told they'll announce the vote tally

Voting is open to the general public and every vote counts so keep voting.

I've noticed a reference to the Darbyshires - sadly they resigned from the party when they moved abroad. I keep a link on my blog under the link 'Wicked Blogs'

Rip v Winkle said...

Surely Lamido doesn't really qualify as a Lib Dem blog either?

As for the front-runner, Jonathan Calder at http://liberalengland.blogspot.com/ any day of the week.

knight of cydonia said...

The Liberal who's?

no longer anonymous said...

The Lib Dems are generally boring (Oaten being the exception that proves the rule) which begs the question as to why they're getting this attention?

irritant said...

Guido, did they really refuse your membership appication? C'mon dish the sirt.

Ralph Gideon said...

In the US, if your desired candidate does not appear on the ballot paper, there is a space to 'write in' your choice.

It seems there is enough support here to organise a 'write in' campaign for the Darbyshires. I am sure that between us, we can bombard the judges with hysterical, libellous and self-aggrandising e-mails to let them know who we favour, even if they are ex-members.

Seriously, though - let's do it.

Will said...

Thanks for the link, Mr Juvenal, but the C in CNPS is for Consecutive, not Car. These things matter.

As I understand it, it's not a public vote as Susanne suggests. Nominations can be made by anyone but the winner will be picked by a panel of judges. I'll make sure Mr Fawkes hears from the reception as soon as the winner is announced...

raincoaster said...

"The pink has it."

Just exactly what kind of a blog is that? I'm too frightened to click.

MisterInquisitor said...

not one to blow my own trumpet, but I think that the blog which I contribute to:

http://fibdems.blogspot.com

is more than worthy of consideration...

Suz blog said...

Just like to sincerely thank Guido readers who have taken an interest in my blog. It's been quite amazing watching the hit counter going crazy.

Special thanks to those who have actually taken the trouble to nomination my blog.

Devil's Kitchen said...

Good god, really?! I've read more interesting loo-roll (my current loo-roll has the music to "Jerusalem" printed on it. Believe me, my poo times are very musical...).

Mind you, 'tis not her fault; being a LibDem supporter must leave you with very little to talk about...

marcuse said...

Do any of those Labourites from Derby who resigned en masse to join the Lib Dems have any web presence? If so, I would nominate them!

marcuse said...

Aaagh. Just clicked on the link to Suz's blog. To the person above who described her as "hot totty": shame on you! I hope they remove the access from t'internet at your old age home.
