Hi everyone

I wrote to all who had registered here at the website to let you know that the campaign had closed. In summary, the reason was simple - the level of interest had waned as the furore over the MPs' Expenses Scandal had diminished.

With the by-election result in Norwich too - although the incumbent had stepped down - it showed the electorate was not inclined to opt for an independent or even one of the smaller established parties.

So, it is with regret that I post here to confirm that the campaign - as envisaged is closed. However, if anyone decides to run as an independent against a shamed incumbent who refuses to stand down, I am more than happy to help with a website etc. to assist your campaign. You can contact me through the website here.
