Can anyone confirm whether or not the Lib Dem candidate in Harrow was ever on Treasure Hunt ? Wikipedia states that she lives nearby in Wimbledon. Annabel Rebecca CROFT (Liberal Democrats) Herbert Winford CROSSMAN (UKIP) Nitesh HIRANI (Conservative Party) Nishit PATEL (Labour Party) Erm, I don't think so. The Lib Dem candidate's full name is Annabel Charis Rebecca Croft but she is "commonly known" as Charis Croft. Nor do I think she played professional tennis! |

It's one of those odd names like Xanthe which throws you but is a proper name.

By the way, don't wait up for the Kenton result. It's a Friday count again in Harrow.

And it's also a name I've come across before (somebody who used to belong to my church, but no longer lives in Coventry). |

You would have thought that all those people pushing the Tories to 48% in the polls would have rushed out to vote for them! I guess the reality is that they did not realise the election was on though! |

Oh dear, I overestimated the LD vote because I assumed that they were running a proper campaign because it was a relatively high profile candidate who I assumed would expect it. From the figures I assume in fact Lizzie was lending her name to a paper candidacy, doing her bit for the party where the mantra is "always stand a candidate". I am dubious about this instruction if it means putting a candidate with a reputation to lose into a humiliating position. I remember a case in my own experience where the boot was on the other foot- years ago, our local Tories were struggling to find a candidate to stand against our group leader, very well entrenched in his ward. They persuaded an ex-MP (Tim Brinton) to stand and it was quite extreme - Tim struggled to get his vote into double figures. I'm sure he was doing his bit for his party, but I cannot see for the life of me what benefit his party gained from this humiliation.Incidentally it must have impressed his daughter Sal, who went on to join the LibDems and is the current national party president..
