Right, if anyone actually cares, I'm probably going to upset a few people with this, but please, don't take any of this personally; to whittle down the 300 or so political blogs I try to "always read" down to just ten was nigh on impossible. To then put them into some kind of order was pretty well beyond me. In the end I kind of chose blogs that sort of represented the various types of blogs I read - you know, ones with think pieces, ones that are group blog type sites, ones that comment frequently, often briefly and incisively on current news, libertarian, Lib Dem and Labour ones say (sorry Tories - the only one for me that would have come close would also have come under the libertarian "category" anyway).

So really I hope that enough people have voted by tonight other than me to dilute my contribution enough to be as meaningless as it appears to me in terms of actually ranking the blogs I "always read"...

1. The Devil's Kitchen
2. Stumbling and Mumbling
3. Cicero's Songs
4. Schneider Home
5. UK Libertarian Party
6. Don Paskini
7. Gladstone Bag
8. Cobden's Comments
9. Liberty Alone
10. People's Republic of Mortimer

As I say - no taking it personally. I should probably have kept my gob shut!
