Not me.

I didn’t win “Blog of the Year from someone elected to public office” at the Lib Dem Blog of the Year wards at conference last night. The award went to Mary Reid, and she deserves it. She actually managed to win two awards, so well done to Mary.

I wasn’t in Brighton to trash the place like a rejected rock-star, but our local prospective parliamentary candidate Vic D’Albert texted me to let me know the news, and after contemplating defecting to one of the other parties as a result of what is undoubtedly anti-northern and anti-male bias, I calmed down and will stick to my guns.

The result of course means that I can’t give up blogging because I have to try and win next year. Which I think is bad news for everyone.
