The Telegraph is continuing to run through the list of top 50 most influential Lib Dems, as compiled by Iain Dale and four unnamed party sources. Yesterday was numbers 41-50; today it’s 31-40, and three Lib Dem Voice regulars make the cut:
32. Mike Smithson
Founder, PoliticalBetting.com [and regular columnist for LDV]
Smithson has established his website, PoliticalBetting.com as one of the most respected and visited political websites on the net. Never shy about his LibDem history and credentials he is a shrewd observer of the political scene. So successful has he been at political betting that he has given up full time work to devote himself to his site.
36. Mark Pack
Head of Innovations, LibDem HQ
Mark Pack is the man charged with developing the Liberal Democrat presence on the internet. A constant hive of activity, he is also behind the successful Liberal Democrat Voice blog, on which he plays the part of attack dog, with a constant stream of blogposts highlighting scandals in other parties. He has recently overseen a revamp of the LibDems’ national website.
40. Stephen Tall
Editor, Liberal Democrat Voice Blog
Tall rose to prominence in 2006 when he was voted Liberal Democrat Blogger of the Year. Since then he has developed a reputation as a smooth talking LibDem political pundit . Until May this year he was a leading LibDem councillor in Oxford, where he works as a University fundraiser.
Meanwhile, this site (along with Mike Smithson’s) also features in The Independent’s list of the ten most influential political blogs.
