Welcome to Casting the net, Liberal Conspiracy’s daily web review. As always, please feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments.
OurKingdom – Boris’s election is historic. The UK’s traditional governing party the Tories have become urban, even multicultural. Even in London, where Labour fielded its most gifted politician, they lost. Boris’ victory is no joke, it’s a serious indictment of the state of the British left. Platitudes simply won’t do, the Left must get a grip.
Westmonster – Yesterday I reminded Joe Lieberman that the Cold War was over, maybe I was too hasty?
Andy Worthington – Andy’s book on Guantánamo Bay is excellent, and to make it doubly excellent, he’s posting additional chapters online as information emerges.
Dolphin Hotel – The Tories are the government in waiting.
Chicken Yoghurt – There is no ideological swing, it’s just that Labour is a bit crap at the mo.
Mike Smithson – Why the Tories *will* win the next General Election.
Pickled Politics – It’s not just Obama with the dodgy Reverend. McCain’s in serious haot-water over the views of Rev John Hagee. Sunny asks: will Hagee be overlooked as conservatives claw at Obama over Rev. Wright?

Just to stick my oar in
I think this will be either a very interesting time in politics for the next 6 months, or the most frustrating. The liberals of this country have a real chance of seizing a bit of the agenda with Labour and Brown so pitifully weak, I guess it’s down to how hard Brown can hold on as to which side it’ll fall on.
Did you get my email, Lee?
Probably not by the sounds of it!
Scratch that, found it…
Aaron – remember this.
Gordon Brown took the throne with grace and humility. LOL.
praguetory,
I was asked to do a pro-Brown piece. That’s what I wrote.
And your point is?
