I had a feeling that the Haltemprice and Howden by-election was going to be a bit of a circus, so news that there will be 26 candidates was not a total surprise.   In spite of that, it will still be fairer, more democratic and generally better in every respect than an election with only one candidate.

This is not the best blog in the world; its a tribute | Hosted by Midphase of 115 Broadway, Floor 5 New York, NY 10006, United States
Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the dog, the other dog, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not Midphase Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...

Go guys – only a 5000 or so majority to sort out… Although the ‘National Front Britain for the British’ candidate is surely just the BNP in drag – no more than I expected.
I have a vain hope that the Green Party will do well – in the current climate (no pun intended, honest) maybe we should be catching up with Europe and electing a few real Greens rather than letting our current MPs repeat the information they have been fed by their eco-advisors…
