The Steamie: An Announcement
The Steamie is delighted to announce that our team of bloggers is about to get bigger and better.
We already give you the musings of the best political journalists and commentators that Scotland has to offer.
And from today The Steamie will also include contributions from the nation's five best young independent political bloggers.

The bloggers are: SNP Tactical Voting; Kez Dugdale; Caron's Musings; Scottish Tory Boy; and Two Doctors. You can access their biogs by clicking on Contributors.
There are more plans for The Steamie in the near future - watch this space!

Not sure if I'd call party members/researchers/apparatchiks "independent" ;0)
"independent political bloggers."
ha ha ha ha ha
Who does Kezia work for again?
Oh Lordy!
for some reason i dont like this idea
i like this blog, and like all the new contributors, but for some reason it feels wrong
Agree the new bloggers are lively enough and represnt a good spread, but as Wardog and Stuart say this seems an odd application of the word 'independent'.
I'm not particularly up on blogospherics but isn't this just a way for the "Steamie' to up content and perhaps attract more visitors? The links for these blogs are on the side after all.
HP is also correct - this disnae ring right.
Edwin, I suspect Kenny used the word "indpependent" vis-a-vis the MSM in general and/or the Scotsman in particular rather than in the purely political context.
HP/Edwin,
What is the reason for your lack of comfort with this arrangement?
For me personally it is a leap into the unknown but a bit of adventure and throwing caution to the wind never hurt anyone I reckon.
A philosophy that I daresay many in the SNP would wish more Scots would share in... ;-)
