Jordan F. MacVay Says:
December 9th, 2004 at 3:51 pmI’ll nominate two: Slugger O’Toole (http://www.sluggerotoole.com) and Organised Chaos (http://www.idlanzakaria.com/blog/). The former because it’s a fine piece of work, the latter because she’s a friend of mine (who happens to have a darn good blog).

Jordan F. MacVay Says:
December 9th, 2004 at 3:56 pmOoops, guess I should’ve read the rules more carefully. Idlan’s not actually British, although she does live there. Hey, I still like her blog though.

john b Says:
December 9th, 2004 at 8:01 pmMy regular reads are Backword, Matt Turner and Chris Lightfoot. (I’d consider nominating Nick as well, but I figure he can do it himself…)
Oh, I’m also told that Shot by both sides is good, although I don’t really see the attraction myself.

Nick Says:
December 10th, 2004 at 1:52 amJohn - you could nominate me, but I’m being all high-minded and neutral and refusing to be considered as I’ll be part of the judging. However, I’m free to nominate SBBS, Green Fairy and Political Betting.
(And just to clarify, this category, as with the other regional ones and best European, is open to all blogs, not just political ones)

Backword Dave Says:
December 10th, 2004 at 7:06 pmI’d go for Shot by both sides; Matthew Turner; Blood & Treasure. John recommended Backword. I think he’s barmy, but I’ll second his choice.

I’ll also nominate the Hungbunny. I’ve been reading his site for a couple of months now, and I’m still hazy on what exactly a hungbunny is. But fuck it.

December 11th, 2004 at 3:20 pmI should add that if Daniel Davies posted regularly on his own blog, and posted less regularly about statistical regressions elsewhere, this contest would be entirely superfluous.

soizick Says:
December 11th, 2004 at 3:52 pmI nominate The Yorkshire Ranter as the best UK blog and as the best political blog. It has rigour, it comments quickly and regulalry on current affairs, sources and links are original and impeccably checked.
A very good read indeed. -
