Hand on my copy of The Manifesto, I solemnly swear I'm aware of no multiple voting. Honest!
It is an interesting list though and it's good to see more proper leftists feature in the chart. But there's still way too many reformists, revisionists and renegades in there for my liking.
Right, I'm off for a celebratory green tea with Brother S ...

Congratulations Phil!
Well, I was kinda surprised to feature in it at all esp. as Harpy Marx has only be going live since the middle of May and I staggered in at no. 72.... So, thanks to comrades who voted for me.
And of course, well done Phil...!!!!!
Overall, I think the quality of the list is much better than last years. Nearly all of them are actively blogging and seem like serious blogs. The problem is there's nowhere near enough revolutionary-types in the top 100. We're going to have to raise our game if we want to be taken more seriously.
Btw Louise, I voted for you ...
we will know you by the company that you keep. ;-)
congrats, phil.
Phil, I meant to say why are you celebrating by drinking green tea. Honestly, get some Bacardi Breezers down ya neck..... ;)
Thanks for the vote and I voted for you as well.
i voted for both avps and harpy marx
We could have a love-in here, as I voted for you as well LC, lol.
"We could have a love-in here"
....and not with green tea I hope?
Oi, green tea is very dear to the hearts of me and Brother S. It is why we can still pass for svelte youths, I'll have you know!
Well, I am partial to chai tea.
Oh, but anyway, the youth of today...so well behaved....Not like in my days last century.
'Youth of today'. I like you harpymarx!
the Tory bastards I am 78 (close to my age)...I wanted to be 101 of 100
that will never do, I'd vote for Darren red star next, if I ever get to vote
Aha, number 57 in the overall chart too!
Pff, as if Lenin wasn't a revisionist...
