In answer to this load of self promoting guff and nonsense, Richard North has come up with an excellent idea over at his highly popular and informative EU Referendum blog by putting together a list of Independent Political blogs … “Hopping blogrolls is quite an entertaining and useful pastime. You open up one blog at random, read the top post, then go to the blogroll and pick another blog at random.”
Richard already has a selection of fifty blogs in his Independent Blog Directory and you can check them all out HERE. In the meantime, I have selected twenty or so blogs from my ‘daily reads’, which don’t yet appear in Richard’s list, to help you further extend your journey of discovery into the excellent writing, wit and independent opinion that the political blogosphere really has to offer.
Oh, and here’s a thought, if you have a blog and some excellent daily reads of your own that you’d like to tells us all about and which haven’t appeared on either mine or Richard’s list, then why not consider sharing them with us all. We’d love to take a look ;-)
And with that … I think I’ll leave you with another airing of this:

The Waspsnest is a good one.
And thanks for the link.
Bugger!
On my google reader but not on my blogroll, as it should be. Thanks for the nudge Bucko … all duly updated ;-)
Thank you both :)
Thanks for the link, Max, nice one, mate.
[...] on from this recent post, I’m introducing a new feature which I hope to maintain on a regular basis. It’s quite [...]
Many thanks for the link and the free publicity.
At this rate I’ll soon have three visitors a day!
Thanks from me too.. I wish I could blog more often, I have to earn a living first and have some personal family stuff that has to be resolved.
I think it’s a super idea. Now I’ve slightly updated my blog roll because like you Max, I have folk on my reader but not on the RHS. In the past year I’ve removed those bloggers who have called a halt and when they’ve returned forgotten to add them again. Pests these folks. :)
Nice one Rosie … and I wonder whoever you could possibly mean ;-)
You are all very welcome … proof, if were indeed needed, that the political blogosphere is an increasing force to be reckoned with when compared to the MSM. And they don’t like it. Good.
Cheers for the link, Max.
But more importantly, cheers for the links to other bloggers.
There seems to be some great reads in there and I’ll be getting more familiar with them shortly.
Thanks for the link. In light of your generosity I have updated on the ticklish subject of child benefit. A worthy but dull subject which needs to be addressed but you can see why most politicians would run screaming. Being a blogger, I haven’t got enough sense to do that.

“…what has the political blogosphere really achieved beyond giving the voiceless a voice?”
Isn’t that the point?
