Voting TaKtiX

Because democracy needs an informed electorate

Blogging and stuff

Busy, in case you hadn’t figured. In the meantime, I’ve linked a few times to Steve, who it turns out is randomly a friend of a former housemate of mine and Paul’s, although we’ve never met, small world. Anyway, he now writes for new blog/news site, The Slant, which I’m plugging because, well, it’s good. His first article:
Thousands of pupils received their A-level results today, and amazingly the UK seems to be getting more intelligent than ever!

In the spirit of the occasion, the rest of this article will be multiple choice:

Seriously, go read the rest. For the record, he thinks even less of Ruth Kelly than me. Seriously, it is possible. Anyway…

What should I write next?

I’ve been busy at work (see terror alerts and false flags, all over the newspapers and below), but it’s about time I wrote a decent, substantive article. I’ve got 3 in my mind, fleshed out to a point where I just need to find time to type them up. Which d’you want first?

  1. The Cameron Project: What he’s up to and why it should work
  2. Tactical Voting: It’s a myth, it doesn’t exist (seriously)
  3. House of Lords reform: I missed Lords Reform day on here, but put up a few links on my journal (Blogger went down), I could flesh that out a bit?

Anyone got a preference? Also…

Blogger Beta

I’ve been playing around with the new version of Blogger (via) here, it does actually seem rather good, so even though there isn’t a 3-column option (yet), I’ll likely switch when they’ll let me, the good bits more than outweigh the bad. Category tags for a start, and easy feed displays &c. So expect a few weirdnesses as I do silly stuff to get it to work. I’m so not looking forward to going back to label every post.
