This award will go to one of the 8000 serving Conservative Party Councillors, or to any kind of Local Government representative - including Assembly Members.
Councillors etc who blog daily about national issues are likely to fare well, but more and more of them are finding blogs to be a cheap and effective way of keeping residents up-to-speed with everything they are doing on their behalf and for stimulating debate about local issues - so give them a chance too!
Deputy Editor
Councillor Kevin Davis from Kingston-upon-Thames. He understands how to fight the Liberal Dumocrats.

I think Kevin Davis is a good guy, and his blog is good, but I would query his campaigning expertise against LibDems given he lost his (fairly safe) council seat to them this May!

I nominate Nick King for his excellent use of his blog to keep his constituents up to date with his activites and the events in and out of council which relate to Littledown.

Ah, bit of a 'love in' going on here between Will and I (see my post on the Young Conservative blog nominations).
In fact I would nominate Jeremy Moulton in Southampton who does an excellent job keeping his residents in Freemantle up to date.

My nomination is not a tory blog, just an anti-council one.
It has to be Greenwich Watch, at http://greenwichwatch.blogspot.com, mainly for the scoop about the casino report being faked by AEG.
