Malc in the Burgh: September 2010

A New Beginning

This post is serving two functions. Firstly, it is a thank you to everyone who has read my ramblings over the past three years and voted for me in the Total Politics awards. I'm not folding MitB entirely, but I am recognising that the rate of posting has withered a bit over the past few months, and in that sense, it is all but done.

However, I have a new project. Jeff (SNP Tactical Voting), James (Two Doctors) and I have decided the time is right to embark upon a joint blog project, which we're starting today. We've called it Better Nation and we hope it will be a collaboration of good quality work (well, each of the three of us made the Total Politics Top 10 - just!) which will also take a little bit of the pressure off of us to post as regularly.

So, if you liked our writing individually, stop past there for a read and debate our views. Equally, we're fairly open to guest contributors (we don't want it to be a closed project) so if you are interested, get in touch.

Thanks again - and see you on the other side!

Malc

Nice words

"Cracking good read." Scottish Unionist

"Malc is an expert on Scottish nationalism. [He] knows what he's talking about - the thinking man's SNP voter." politics.co.uk

"A veritable all rounder with a strong mix of politics, humour, sport and always something different coming out from his now look website. Distinctly, commendably and refreshingly non-partisan." SNP Tactical Voting

"Malc [has] got gradually Greener as time has passed, the intrinsic merit of his writing, especially the posts backed up with real quality research." James at Two Doctors

"We can't do without your voice of reason!" Caron's Musings (I think that was somewhat in jest),

"When [he does] say something it's usually interesting and worth reading or debating." Ideas of Civilisation

"Nice to see some of his research work coming into his posts, and his blog also seems a bit more personal than last year, which only serves to enhance the quality." Holyrood Patter

"[Malc] isn't scared of the Tartan Tory tag to be fair, not that he'll thank me publicly for saying it." SNP Tactical Voting (He's wrong - I am scared of it).
