Election2010: excellent new elections blog

I’ve certainly criticised academics a few times for not really getting political campaigning – and so spending time looking in the wrong place (such as in my post on internet campaigning) but one exception to that certainly is Phil Cowley of Nottingham University. So it’s not a great surprise that the new Election 2010 blog run by him and colleagues is looking very good, with a regular feed of relevant content – but also content that isn’t simply duplicating what is elsewhere.

You can take a look at Election2010.blogspot.com.

UPDATE: Writing nice things about Phil clearly has paid dividends, as he let me contribute to his new book.
