A month ago today, ConservativeHome relaunched CentreRight.com as "a hub for the British conservative movement". Having faced criticism for the low profile of many of its contributors, the lack of original thought or ideas in the posts and the banning (until this week) of comments from the blog's readership, I wondered how often each contributor had posted. Here is my research:
Peter Cuthbertson - 37
Alex Deane - 34
Peter Franklin - 24
Sam Coates - 23
Douglas Carswell MP - 18
Jim McConalogue - 17
Greg Hands MP - 14
Alan Mendoza - 12
Charlie Elphicke - 11
Dan Hamilton - 10
Julian Manning - 10
Conor Burns - 9
Ben Rogers - 9
Hamish Marshall - 8
Robert Halfon - 8
Simon Chapman - 7
Jill Kirby - 6
Dr Crippen - 6
Matthew Elliott - 5
Dan Lewis - 5
Peter Whittle - 5
Stephan Shakespeare - 4
David Lidington MP - 3
Douglas Murray - 3
Harry Phibbs - 1
Nigel Evans MP - 1
Louise Bagshawe - 1
Jesse Norman - 1
And what about those who haven't yet posted at all. The eminent list of shame is Alexander Drake, Andrew Haldenby, David Willetts MP, Lee Rotherham, Liam Fox MP, Mark Field MP, Matt Sinclair & Nile Gardiner (although this may be because the cross-referencing on the site may be incomplete - I recall reading pieces by Matt Sinclair and Liam Fox certainly).
At least now Tim has some ammunition with which to persuade his fellow contributors to pull their weight a little more!
