I am writing to you after I have been criticised for getting people to vote for me in the TP politics blog awards. Please can you all make me your number 1 so we can protest against the criticism!
Irfan Ahmed's Blog for #1, lets replace Guido, Iain and the others at number one.
Blogging 4 U

Blog Notice
I have been busy today; first of all I have been to an open day at the Mosque to which a lot of people from all religions and groups attended. After that I have been working on artwork for a leaflet which is now drafted to get approval!
I have done a lot more then that but I am not going to share that with readers because clearly you aren't interested and this isn't a blog about life it’s meant to be a politics blog.

Clearly Mandelson is Leadership material
Peter Mandelson could become the Prime Minister that's what I believe and have blogged about it in earlier posts and now another post on PB where Mr Mike Smithson pours his pearls of wisdom on the page suggests that the market on Mandy being the next leader of Labour are closing down.
The Ladbrokes on Mandelson becoming the Labour leader whenever that is has been closed and the William Hill is only allowing £15 bets. Clearly the bookies agree with me and Mr Smithson that the world is going to have a see of Mr Mandelson leading the Labour party.
I think Mandelson will run for Parliament in a seat at the next general election, most likely get in and when Labour need another leader and people like Alan Johnson don't take up the challenge Mandelson will step in. Mandelson will be like the Ming of the Lib Dems and will try and save the Labour party.
Will he succeed is a total different question and debate for another time!

Why youth politics has changed
At a recent event someone raised the issue of the change in the role of students in politics. Before students were associated with raving, protesting and squatting people who wanted to get their voices heard but that is no longer the case.
Students can no longer rave, protest or squat because the law just doesn't allow them to. If they want to protest they need to ask the Police for permission which also includes a video camera recording the protest.
Clearly students have been deprived of the politics they used to take part in and that's why I think the youth are taking to the Internet and campaigning for main stream candidates to make up for the lose of other youth activities.
Pendle's MP Gordon Prentice once told young people (including me) that he used to enjoy travelling and protesting whilst a student.
This has brought me to the conclusion that if a young person (say me) says something wrong or not what a mature blogger wants to hear they bang on about it. Clearly students should be allowed to do what they have done in the past e.g. protesting, raving and squatting.
I liked the squatting of Mr and Mrs Keen's tax payer billed home, maybe the youth of today need to do that more?

Tory Toddlers up to no good
A thought has hit me about what the Tories were doing at the last election. Reports came to me that the Tory Toddlers aka the Conservative Future were going around asking opposition parties if they could follow them around for a politics assignment for University.
The cheek! The Tories really do know how to act crafty and how to play it clever. This is a warning from me to any Lib Dem reading this. If someone approaches you to ask to help you or to follow you around knock them back.
Only get volunteers who are existing volunteers at election time and because its a general election don’t look for new ones. You rather have no help then have a mole follow you around/work with you who will go back to base and report what you are doing!

Why not to organise a party via Facebook?
If I said this to someone today they would turn around and ask me if I was sane or not? After the number of blog posts by me on the issue of campaign community’s people will think I have lost it if I say to them not to do it but genuinely I mean it doesn’t.
A man organised his Birthday BBQ via Facebook and was he in for a surprise, the Police with a helicopter and a riot van stormed into the party and closed it down. The party that was in a field was considered by the Police to be a rave and they shut it down.
People ask why I hate Thatcher. Isn't that a good enough reason? She banned raves and socially engineered lives. She was a dictating Prime Minister and it’s because of her silly ideas to cling onto power that we not have peoples Birthday parties being destroyed.
I can't wait for the day when this happens to a Tory then I shall ask them how great is the cow Thatcher...

Lembit needs a blog
From Prawn Free Lembit:
Lembit get a blog and stop mingling with the Porn Paper and get blogging...
A BERLIN brothel is offering discounts to customers who go there by bike or public transport in an attempt to cut carbon emissions. But have they considered the carbon dioxide produced while people are “at it”? Like looking at the pictures in the Daily Sport, some things are just never going to be carbon neutral.Interesting stuff from the outspoken Lib Dem MP if I say so myself, Lembit has a talent for writing but clearly it is being wasted on writing for the Porn Paper. I have suggested on this blog on previous occasions that Lembit should blog but he isn't listening!

Are Public Meetings good for campaigning?
I am someone who thinks socialising with the voters can help a candidate so after reading Mark Pack's blog post about an Afghan Presidential candidate using the Internet to create a community I liked the idea and headed over to the website.
On the website I come across a page called "Host your own campaign events" and this is the sort of thing that I suggested to Nick Clegg's team in a previous blog post. In my opinion if local parties held events in which the PPC took to the stage and socialised with residents I have a funny feeling that could help the campaign.
For the old school campaigners this sounds a little silly but I don't think it is, Obama had this sort of campaign and it made him the President of the USA and I think Nick Clegg could benefit from this. If every constituency held an event in my view the Lib Dems could achieve 30% of the share of Parliamentary seats or even more at the next general election.
Come on Nick and team get working on something like this!

#plot was interesting
It looks like the #plot turned into something much different after Guido went away from the hashtag and tweeted the following:
Image that, she even takes the laptop of him when she kicks him out? No laptop, No Guido!
Girls just want to have fun apparently. Hope Mrs Fawkes don't find out.I have a funny feeling Mr Staines didn't stay faithful to Mrs Staines last night so for the sake of political blogging I agree with him. Can you just see it happening, Guido being made homeless by Mrs Staines and having to live at the Devil's or the Bears house?
