	Candidates I know...
	As election fever sets in, I feel that to counter the various serious posts about how important it is to vote etc. (good sentiments!) I exercised my brain for a couple of nanoseconds to count the number of candidates I know personally. Ronan Burnett (UKIP, Birmingham Selly Oak) Steve Cooke (Liberal Democrats, Ellesmere Port & Neston) (even though the BBC have spelt his name wrong at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/vote2005/html/234.stm) Lee Rotherham (Conservatives, Rotherham) I'm assured that none of them stand a real chance of election... How about you? Can anyone suggest a Labour candidate I know?

:-) As you probably guessed that last comment was non-perjorative and with a dash of humour.

I wish you all the best of luck on a personal level - even when I don't agree with the policies.

	Lovely Lynne Jones

I know my MP a bit - she's ace, so with no disrespect to Ronan (whoever he might be) I don't want him to win, cos I want to keep my lovely MP. Even if she is Labour (rebel). She just sent me copies of a bunch of correspondence with the PM about Iraq, which is top of her.

I don't mind! Comments make me look popular, right?

Away with you! Read the various Odyssey spam I've sent you and reply!

Stop wasting your time attacking my good name :-P

	Re: Lovely Lynne Jones

I'm not wasting my time, because you do not have a good name to attack, you have a *reputation* - that's different.

I'm getting to the Odyssey spam, are you coming out tonight for scoff, can talk then?

Alas, it being a weeknight I'm going to a gig (tonight with

immerwahr). Can try and catch up over the weekend (when I'm not hugely busy) perhaps?

I know and muchly respect Rupa Huq who is standing for Labour... erm, somewhere in the South East but I can't quite remember where... apparently it's not a very winnable seat...

PS - I hope Ronan Burnett loses in Selly Oak because Lynn Jones is one of the best MPs around... a real conviction type who isn't afraid to vote against her own party...

I don't think even Ronan expects to unseat Lynn Jones...

Chesham and Amersham is Rupa's constituency...

You know, I'm not really surprised that "Cheshunt & Amersham" isn't an expected win for Labour...
