"The most successful man in life is the man who has the best information." - Benjamin DisraeliA View From Rural Wales
Glyn Davies is MP for Montgomeryshire - who is sometimes so candid in his blogs you wonder whether he belongs to this vicious, media-savvy age.
A Very Public Sociologist
The posts are by no means short but they are filled with well researched information and give a deep insight into socialism.
A Very British Dude
With humour in abundance this is a blog that will put a smile on your face, unless you are a communist or member of the BNP.
Austin Mitchell MP
Outspoken to say the least this is the sort of MP blog that you've been waiting for, particularly if you're old Labour and furious with the party.
Association of Liberal Democrats
Need to know what campaigns are going on, election results or job opportunities within the Lib Dems? Look no further.
Archbishop Cranmer
Archbishop Cranmer is ranked the 22nd 'most influential political blog' and the 24th most 'influential blog' in the UK by Wikio.
Arbitrary Constant
Seemingly left-leaning and libertarian in many of its views its difficult to describe a firm political affliliation for this blog.
Appalling Strangeness
The Appalling Strangeness is an entertaining blog whether you agree with the author's politics or not - the blogger used to be a member of the Conservative party until David Cameron started saying the same sort of thing as Poly Toynbee apparently.
Antony Little: Little's Log
Anthony Little is a Conservative local councillor and parliamentary party candidate for the Norwich South constituency.
Anthony McKeown
This is a local councillor's blog and as such it's fine without being the most exciting thing we've ever seen.
Another Green World
Given the description Derek himself gives of his blog we're not sure there's nuch we can add.
Anglo Saxon Chronicle
Should do better. It's tone is suitably frivalous, given its approach to politics, but The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle still feels somewhat without purpose.
Anglo Noel Natter
We're not able to tell which political party this blogger is affiliated to but Anglo Noel Natter's left wing credientials are fairly clearly on display.
An Englishman's Castle
From what we can gather from reading this blog An Englishman's Castle is a Conservative and libertarian blogger. It's a good read, well written and entertaining.
Andy Love MP
As many people interested in political blogging will know, MPs that blog are almost as rare as hen's teeth.
Andy D'Agorne
Not a brilliant looking blog nor updated very regularly (when we looked last it had just been updated after being left fallow for a month) but its nice to see a local councillor writing about issues in a local context.
Andrew Reeves' Running Blog
This particular blog contains Andrew's musings on, well just about anything but there's just enough politics in it to keep us interested - just.
Andrew Nutt
We know that many politically affiliated blogs like to chose colour schemes that are similar to the party they are affiliated to, but the use of green on this blog is a little off-putting.
Andrew Burns' Really Bad Blog
Updated daily, this is a good local blog by a local councillor - recognised as such by becoming a finalist in the New Statesman's New Media Awards in 2007.
Andrew Allison - A Conservative View
Andrew Allison is a Conservative blogger with a big C, a clear Thatcherite who believes the only way the Tories will win the next election will be by being radical.
Andrea Leadsom
While we're not particularly fond of the design of the site - the colours are a little off-putting although we can't exactly decide why - this is a good, clear blog that is regularly updated especially when comapred to many parliamentary candidate blogs.
Analysing British Politics
A fairly basic blog with very little in the way of interactivity. This is an OK blog but fails to really excite or even raise the temperature of its reader.
Amused Cynicism
This blog is quite clearly Libertarian in its views and it's difficult to suggest a political persuasion beyond that.
Ambush Predator
This blog is an engaging read and unapologetic in the way in which it expresses its views.
Alfred the Ordinary
Alfred the Ordinary's blog has a clean and clear design, a decent comment function allowing his readers to interact with him and is overall a good read.
Alex's archives
In amidst the posts on the art of running lie a top-notch set of opinion pieces.
Alex Massie's Blog
This interesting and entertaining blog from Scottish journalist Alex Massie covers mainly American topics and provides fascinating and sometimes amusing posts on issues from across the Atlantic.
Alan Collins - The Twydall Tory
This is a well-presented, regularly updated blog. While it's not the most exciting read, the blog is well designed and it's clear Alan Collins has a lot of interest in politics, as well as designs on one-day becoming a Conservative politician himself maybe?
A Janus Face
A political blog that occasionally veers into greener pastures, this unfortunately loses points for the fact that it doesn't update often enough.
Advice from a fake consultant
What problems does the new administration face from Egypt? Why is America in constant campaign mode? These questions are all answered by our fake consultant.
Adrian Sanders MP
A blog from a Liberal Democrat MP, who tell us all about the thrills and spills from Westminster.
Adam Smith Institute Blog
The Adam Smith Institute gives you all the information you need about the newest tax cuts, bailouts and economic policy.
Action 4 Equality Scotland
Unsurprisingly, considering the background of the author, this blog focuses on unions and worker-related issues from a variety of sources.
Aberavon & Neath Liberal Democrats
As a rule, the contributors to this site tend to highlight what's been going on in the news at either a national or local level.
