I’ve had one or two guest posts in the past, and I’ve decided to make this a little more frequent if I can. I’m taking this slowly as, in keeping with my conservative standpoint, I don’t want to make radical changes to something that is, I think, working well. For the moment, I’ll aim at putting in one guest post a week, if I get an an adequate supply.Mainly I want to give regular commenters the chance to put together something a bit longer from time to time.

I find comments hard to read when they get past about 150 words, and I’ll be looking for guest posts in the range 200-600. I’ll be posting one by Brian Bahnisch fairly soon.

For the moment, I’m not going to run posts that are clearly inconsistent with the blog’s social democratic perspective, but I’m not going to impose any sort of narrow party line. So if you’ve got something to say that would burst the seams of my comment box, now’s your chance.
