Blog Information

Written by Conservative MP Douglas Carswell, we liked this blog for its simple, straightforward approach and connectivity.


In addition to pretty-much daily posts, there are options to link to the MP through social networking sites and offer comments on Douglas' views.


Unlike many MPs' blogs there is much here in the way of local news and activities.


This is definitely more like the traditional political blogs we've become familiar with and with articulate - if somewhat biased - writing it's definitely worth a read.
