		<description>Personally, I would never stoop so low as to beg for votes. Who would do such a thing? ;-)

Technically, there&#039;s no real point voting for &lt;em&gt;me&lt;/em&gt;, anyway - I&#039;m fairly certain I&#039;m not on the Total Politcs directory. I like to keep a low profile, you see. The power &lt;em&gt;behind&lt;/em&gt; the throne, that&#039;s me...

Group blogs are allowed, as far as I&#039;m aware, asquith - see if you can spot ConservativeHome on last year&#039;s list, that&#039;ll tell you for certain.

As for who&#039;s going on my list... Well, I suppose that&#039;s still wide open at this point...
