		<description>Stuey: Fair enough.  Unfortunately, I&#039;m unlikely to do a proper redesign before the vote closes (or indeed, ever :).

Besides, what sort of a lefty blog would I be if I had a _right_ column?</description>

		<description>Sorry but I can&#039;t vote for No Right Turn, no matter how good the content is until the site design is better - its not just the dull and clunky colours + layout - the main thing is the speed that it takes to load the pages, it oh so often hangs and leaves you waiting frustrated. It is clear that the problem lies in all the dynamic content in the left-hand column - frequently you have to wait 30 seconds for the javascript that gets the blog ecosystem result to load. An easy solution to this would be to move the left-hand column to a right-hand column, then the site content comes first in the page and the column is an afterthought. cheers and no offence, the content on No Right Turn &lt;b&gt;IS&lt;/b&gt; really good.</description>

		<description>So vote for &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://norightturn.blogspot.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;No Right Turn&lt;/a&gt; instead.  I&#039;m active, busy, and have been producing some of my best content recently.

Otherwise there may be a risk of DPF winning...</description>

		<description>As long as the votes are NOT tallied by electronic machines, provided by companies pledged to deliver votes to the candidates who will give the most benefits to their corporate/private profits, it sounds vagely democratic.
 If all parties have equal means and balanced exposure to explain their worthiness, then we are approaching the ideal!</description>
