Top Right Wing Blogs

I've been asked to name my 50 favourite conservative blogs for Iain Dale. He gave me a long list of right-wing blogs and I added a few faves of my own such as Tuscan Tony. As I don't have time to review all of them, I whittled them down by removing blogs

1. That haven't entered my consciousness (if a Tory like me who has spent the last year on political blogs hasn't heard of it, you can't be marketing it very well)
2. Where comments are disallowed or where debate is rare
3. Where the site is inactive or rarely updated
4. Written by journalists/organisations or ghost writers.
5. I don't like

Here's the shortlist. You're all great.

BTW I'd be interested to know how you found me originally. I'd guess at Iain Dale as he linked to me early.

Cheers. Matt
