On the Lib Dem front we have a new top blogger in my good friend Caron climbing 23 to 7th heaven. I am a non-mover at eleven again this year. Just can't break into that top 10, although I was getting worried after I failed to appear on a number of the published Scottish bloggers top ten votes that I'd been on last year. So I probably have to thank more of my non-Scottish readers this year (of course the votes that did come from Soctland are also appreciated). I also know I shan't be top Lib Dem blogger in the UK this year.
The rest of the Top 10 (ie the blogs that voters think is better than this):
5 (8) Two Doctors GP
6 (28) Malc in the Burgh
8 (NE) Yappinng Yousuf LA
9 (NE) Scottish Unionist NA
10 (4) J Arthur MacNumpty NA
Also flying the Lib Dem bird are Andrew Reeves up
Although Iain Dale is at it again this year making Freedom and Whisky a Lib Dem when he's an SNP voting Libertarian and Peter Cranie Green MEP for the North West is in the Scottish list at 12. So everyone behind me move up one spot (unless someone like Greener Leith maybe should be there).
I've also now wound up Jeff by linking through to all the Lib Dems in Scotland with correct spellings to aid their Wikio rankings.
I'm off to console myself by looking at how stupid my blind write up of the MacBlogopshere for the book looks in comparison to how the list turned out.
UPDATE: Andrew Reeves seems to be in more shock than me with the outcome, so much so he neglects to congratulate Caron in this blog post: surely an oversight. Though he does have kind words about me. I'd just like to assure our Director of Campaigns that I am capable of 'touting for votes' where it really matters in this election year.
UPDATE 2: I see after causing a 4 letter DM via Twitter from Dale Towers that Peter Cranie has been removed from the Scottish list. I've put a not on my google calendar to remind him not to copy and paste the same designation for the Green MEP again next July.
*He deserves all the links he gets after this.
Hi Stephen.
ReplyDeleteSome of my best friends are LibDems. Honest!
But I e-mailed Total Politics and it's now been fixed.
"Scottish Unionist NA"
ReplyDeleteWhich party is he linking himself now.
NA sounds like a loyalist paramilitary sect.
Maybe the 'NO to Alec' Party?
David I don't doubt it just you aren't actually one of us. That was one of the reasons I had Mr Dale swearing over the interweb at me last night.
ReplyDeleteLOL Wardog as Unionist has never given away which party he follows he is non-alligned.
However Nah, may very well sum him up.
