I made a kind of unconscious promise to myself that I wasn’t going to blog about politics, which makes me slightly resist the urge to link to the Liberal Democrats’ election blog, which is powered by WordPress and hasn’t had much changed from the default Kubrick template (via Matt Mullenweg). This is what they have to say for themselves:

This weblog has been set up to provide an inside view of the General Election campaign in the UK in 2005.

It is being written by members of the team who will be working with Charles Kennedy, Leader of the Liberal Democrats.

We hope to cover all the events of the campaign up to polling day with some insights that might not come through the main news media.

I like the fact that they’re upfront about their comments policy, too. I’m going to be upfront too and say that I probably wouldn’t have bothered linking to it if I didn’t intend to vote for them. Here’s the constituency information for my constituency, Twickenham, courtesy of the BBC. Our MP is Dr. Vincent Cable, the Lib Dems’ shadow chancellor; if they win the election (bookmakers had it at 100/1, last I heard) he’d be taking up residence in 11 Downing Street. For more commentary you could try the Guardian election blog, and the BBC’s issues guide gives an overview of the various parties’ positions on key issues.
