Pointless questionnaires

I've always wondered why anyone bothers filling in those daft questionnaires that increasingly fill space in newspapers and weekend supplements. So when Total Politics asked me to answer their questionnaire, of course I said Yes. The results are here.

No 36

Thanks to those of you who voted for this blog in Iain Dale's annual contest. In its first year in contention, no 36 seems like not a bad result in the 'Top 100 left of centre blogs'. Congratulations to Tom Harris and Hopi Sen for their top rankings. Thanks also to Iain Dale for including the blog in his list of the Top 50 political blogs on the Total Politics website.
