Slightly later than planned I have closed the nominations for the 2014 awards.

There is one Winner

Category number 7. The Daily Mail Milibash Award

Uncontested and well deserved.

Christina F Patterson for this loathsome trash.

For the rest of the votes you will see a set of polls that you can vote for. Each person gets one vote, including myself. In the event of a tie as chair I have a casting vote. However if I have previously voted for one of the two (or more) leaders I must first subtract my vote (as by definition the chair can only cast a vote in the event of a tie).

The polls will close in seven days time.

A few notes:

Sadly HLS is not a new contributor this year, and while I agree entirely that the Danny Alexander article is a complete fiction, he is not a Guardian Journalist. However as the Guardian seems to act as a sort of welfare safety net for ex Lib Dem MPs give it time. Where somebody has suggested an article by Crace or Wintour (always those two) can cover multiple categories I have selected the one I thought was the best fit.

As we say in politics - vote early, vote often. The one thing that is certain in this election is that Martin Rowson is going to win best cartoon this year - in your face Steve Bell, revenge is sweet - as I am sure Martin wouldn't say.

Just to say thank you very much for organising this and I have voted.regards.

Echoing HindleA's comment, many thanks for organising this. I have case my votes, now need to go and shower in bleach as I feel distinctly grubby after being forced to spend time on the Graun reading the articles to make my decisions.

Thanks TE for organising this. I'm going to echo TGS and say I'll now go get the bleach.

Thanks TE, your hard work is much appreciated.

Thank you for organising this TE. ☺

Will be shortly in possession of a computer and a landline versus mobile and tablet and look forward to starting my new list for 2015 awards in New Year.
