It isn't a Tory or Labour thing - friends of any government will always feature in the list.

I disagree that it should be scrapped though - it's a nice way to recognise legitimate charity work by ordinary people. There may well be an element of "look how nice we are" by the government when the awards go to one of us but still, they do get the recognition.

I do think Murray should have had a mention though, just like (the English) Bradley Wiggins did for similar achievements in his field 12 months ago.
