- Blogging the party conferences So James Crabtree of Vox Politics is trying to get some blogging going at the party conferences in the Autumn.Demos will be blogging bits and pieces ourselves, but who else would you like to see blogging? Can't imagine we'd get Blair, Howard or Kennedy but pop your suggestions in the comments box and we'll approach them to see if they'd like to guest blog for the Greenhouse. from : paulmiller 11th August 2004
- Moving on... Wired has a really interesting piece by Gary Wolf about the history of Moveon.org and the power it is wielding in the forthcoming US election. from : paulmiller 26th August 2004
- Blogging MPs are so last year Now it's about blogging candidates. The Guardian has a story about Jody Dunn - the Lib Dem candidate for Peter Mandleson's old seat of Hartlepool - who will be blogging daily about the trials and tribulations of trying to get elected. from : paulmiller 26th August 2004
- Boris reporting for duty It turns out that one suggestion for guest Greenhouse blogger has gone and set one up all by himself. Boris Johnson has entered the blogsphere. He's also taking suggestions on 'the funding of the arts'. He should take a look at this. from : paulmiller 21st September 2004
- The World Speaks (to America) This is interesting - The World Speaks, a website bringing together a diverse set of voices from around the world to speak their mind about the US Presidential Election. As the creators believe: "The outcome of the US presidential election affects all world citizens, Free and open discussion across national borders fosters understanding, The internet is revolutionizing communication between US voters and non-US citizens" from : paulmiller 22nd September 2004
- The Cat in the (political) Hat Here's an interesting piece about the relationship between the politics and writing of Theodor Giesel (better known to you and I as Dr Seuss). [via Arts & Letters Daily] from : paulmiller 10th November 2004
- Pollsters or punters? The Conservative party aren't doing too well according to recent polls. But being a bit of a sceptic when it comes to election polls, I thought I'd shop around and see what the bookies were offering.They seem to concur with the polls with William Hill putting a Labour majority of over 64 as the most likely option. Interestingly most likely turnout is around about the 59/60 per cent mark which would make it almost exactly the same as 2001 and possibly the lowest since 1945. from : paulmiller 19th April 2005
- Pub quiz politics Now back to the election. This quiz tests your knowledge of the facts and figures the contest is supposed to be all about. It's rock hard and makes you realise just how difficult it must be to be a politician and face this kind of thing in interviews. I did woefully badly getting just +35.7. from : paulmiller 4th May 2005
- Are you drinking what we're drinking? The Guardian election blog has cottoned on to the idea of election night drinking games. Pick Me Up (which Charlie and I edit occasionally) ran quite an extreme one last week which I imagine they won't be playing at the swanky BBC party tonight. If they do the coverage could get very interesting. from : paulmiller 5th May 2005
- Why Britain Is Great Former Demos intern Tristram Hunt (not a lot of people know that) has the cover story of this week's New Statesman on Why Britain Is Great. One point he makes is that we have, "...developed an amorphous but nevertheless peculiarly British culture at whose root is a healthy irreverence towards religious and political authority. We like burning effigies of the Pope, wearing masks of Tony Blair, exposing the peccadillos of pious statesmen. What Islamic ideologues dismiss as western decadence, I... from : paulmiller 28th July 2005
