Vote Stuart King!

Yes, I know the General Election's still a while off but there's a way you can get into the habit of casting your vote for me right now!

Last year my website was voted one of the top 300 political blogs in the country - and one of the top 100 Labour blogs - in Iain Dale's Guide to Political Blogging.

This year, the Guide is being republished by the new Total Politics magazine and I hope the site will achieve an even higher rating, given how many more visitors I have received over the past twelve months.

Rankings are based on your votes - all it involves is clicking here to send an email listing your Top 10 blogs. For your vote to be valid you do need to list ten sites - I very much hope that you'll put this site at no. 1, as votes are weighted by how high on your list I come!

There's also an incentive: everyone who votes is entered in a prize draw to win £100 of political books.

The deadline for submitting your Top 10 is Friday 15 August. Please only vote once. Anonymous votes will not count. And you must give a name.

My personal top 10 is below - please feel free to copy the list and mix it up a little if you don't frequent ten political blogs; or instead you can browse the comprehensive list of political websites from across the political spectrum by clicking here.
