Awaiting the results.......

A hush of fevered anticipation hangs over the Green section of the Blogosphere as we await the result in a tight struggle for peer group approval. No, not the Green Party of England and Wales Male Principal speaker election contested by ecosocialist blogger (Another Green World) Derek Wall and media-friendly actor Ashley Gunstock against the incumbent Keith Taylor - the real money is on the Top 100 Green Bloggers (UK) run by Green Left blogger Jim at the Daily (Maybe). G.O.O. is quite relaxed about this, already forewarned that those of us using the boring old Son of Moto template on Blogger sit with the green blogging equivalent of a Dunce cap in the corner! Hopefully, now that I am blogging in new-improved Beta, then when I get round to it I can individualise and prettify my template to compete in future blogging beauty contests. 'Til then I will soldier on with this grim socialist-realist style to the dismay of our more style-oriented comrades. Anyhow, good luck to all competing in both these contests.

Elsewhere, on a more serious note the Dutch election is taking place - it will be interesting to see if the predicted swing of voters from the Labour Party (PvdA) to more radical left forces like the Socialist Party and GroenLinks (GreenLeft) takes place as media pundits are saying.
