Guardian Political Blog of the Year – we are pulling out
This has just been sent to the Guardian.
Dear Backbencher,
Re: Political Weblog Awards.
Could you withdraw the undersigned from the running for your Political
Commentary Awards.In the light of unusual voting patterns and your suggestion that readers “vote early and often” seemingly being taken literally, any award seems worthless to us.
Together we represent 4/5 of the nominees and the great majority of the
votes.
Can I thank everybody who supported Politicalbetting but the vote has just become a farce.
