I like the way Jody’s site reads more like a personal blog than a party-political one; almost as if she were writing it out of interest rather than to get elected. I’m sure there’s a team of copywriters in Cowley Street contributing to this impression… ;-)

I think it’s just that there are now so many political bloggers in Britain that there is a kind of clustering going on, whereby whole political sections tend to just speak to each other (there’s a whole lot of Tory blogs out there that I’m only vaguely aware of, for instance) and it’s only the older (bigger?) blogs that act as bridges between the different sides.
