WHILE voting continues for Total Politics’ Top Political Blogs, it seems I’ve done unexpectedly well in another vote.

The results of the 2008 Witanagemot Club Political Blogging Awards have placed me second – just behind John Redwood – in the Best Blog by a Politician category and third in the Best Labour Party-supporting Blog category. I also scored well in the Best New Blog category, pipping Harriet Harman to second place.

Not that I care for such trifling baubles, of course. I seek not the adulation of the masses, merely the truths eternal… oh, who am I kidding? I’m a politician – of course I want votes…
