    I’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).

  2. Jordan F. MacVay Says:

    Ooops, 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.

  3. Mr Nominator Says:

    Some nominations:

    http://www.scruntybastard.co.uk
    http://www.matmannion.com

  4. Robin Grant Says:

    I think perfect.co.uk is worth considering…

  5. Jude Says:

    The Yorkshire Ranter
    http://yorkshire-ranter.blogspot.com/

  6. john b Says:

    My 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.

  7. anonyMoses Says:

    The Yorkshire Ranter
    http://yorkshire-ranter.blogspot.com/

  8. Nick Says:

    John - 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)

  9. David Weman Says:

    Michael Brooke

    Slugger O’Toole.

  10. Snooo Says:

    http://bloggerheads.com

    http://www.perfect.co.uk

  11. David Weman Says:

    Nick and Matt, obviously, except maybe we should make ourselves ineligible.

  12. yankee-in-distress Says:

    Ditto on the Yorkshire Ranter, conveniently located at
    http://yorkshire-ranter.blogspot.com/

  13. Michael M. Says:

    Yorkshire Ranter
    Plep

  14. David Weman Says:

    Link to Plep?

  15. James Says:

    Blood and Treasure (bloodandtreasure.typepad.com)

  16. Tom Says:

    I’m with Snoo - perfect.co.uk wins it for me.

  17. James M Says:

    Lenin’s Tomb: http://leninology.blogspot.com

    Crap design, good content. Nice.

  20. Watching Them, Watching Us Says:

    The Policeman’s Blog

    http://coppersblog.blogspot.com/

    “A Journey into the mad, mad world of the British underclass and the Public sector, where nothing is too insane for it to be written down and copied in triplicate. VIEWS EXPRESSED PROBABLY DON’T REFLECT OFFICIAL POLICY (although to be honest I haven’t really checked) David Copperfield is a pseudonym.”

  21. lenin Says:

    Crap design, eh? Well, guess who I nominate?

    http://charlotte-street.blogspot.com
    http://bat.blogspot.com
    http://chasemeladies.blogspot.com
    http://bloodandtreasure.typepad.com

    Oh, go on then, my Number One nomination is;

    http://deadmenleft.blogspot.com

  22. Backword Dave Says:

    I’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.

  23. Duane Says:

    Tom Coates. Yeah.

  24. Phil Hunt Says:

    My blog Cabalamat Journal

  25. Harry Hutton Says:

    Aw, shucks, Lenin. You nomitated me. I’ll nominate you right back: Lenin.

    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.

  26. Harry Hutton Says:

    And no one seems to have Norm “Blog” Geras yet. So I’m gonna: Normblog.

    He’s a professor, you know.

  27. jamie Says:

    I hereby nominate me too, me being Blood & Treasure: http://bloodandtreasure.typepad.com

    Also among the elect:
    http://chasemeladies.blogspot.com
    http://leninology.blogspot.com
    http://www.stalinism.com/shot-by-both-sides/
    http://www.backword.me.uk/

  28. jamie Says:

    I 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.

  29. soizick Says:

    I 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.

  30. Chris Says:

    Blood and Treasure, of course:

    bloodandtreasure.typepad.com

  35. Norman Geras Says:

    I nominate: Harry’s Place and The Virtual Stoa

  36. Ken Frost Says:

  37. hungbunny Says:

    Chase Me Ladies, no contest. And I would have said that anyway.

  38. pauline Says:

    Another vote for the Yorkshire Ranter.

  39. Dr Strangelove Says:

    Chase me ladies, I’m in the cavalry

  40. vicki Says:

    The Yorkshire Ranter is the best UK blog by far. Political comment is sharp and sound and the bees in his bonnet are consistently interesting.

  41. Wolfgang O?Higgins Says:

    shot by both sides
    chris lightfoot
    chase me ladies, I?m in the cavalry

    eureferendum is excellent - speedy and pithy critical analysis of all spheres of EU action.
