Dear All
The candidate list for the Norwich North by-election has been published, with 12 people confirmed as standing.
For the record; I want Craig Murray to win this by-election.
The polling date is to take place on 23 July, and was the result of the resignation of Labour MP Ian Gibson after he was deselected over his expenses claims.
Gibson was deselected by a Labour Star Chamber as ever standing as a Labour Candidate again.
He was treated very shabbily in my opinion.
Dr Gibson had a majority of 5,459 over the Conservatives in 2005 but given the circumstances the votes could go anywhere.
Among the independents standing is Craig Murray, former Ambassador to Uzbekistan, who left the post in 2004 after criticising its human rights; he has a strong chance ahead of the Greens for example.
The Labour candidate is Chris Ostrowski while Chloe Smith is representing the Conservatives and April Pond is standing for the Liberal Democrats.
Rupert Read is standing for the Greens, Glenn Tingle for the UK Independence Party and Robert West for the BNP.
Laud Howling is standing on behalf of The Official Monster Raving Loony Party while Thomas Burridge is representing The Libertarian Party and Anne Fryatt is representing the None of The Above Party.
Peter Baggs and Bill Holden are also standing as independents.
So, it is game on and no prisoners taken.
The BBC are following around the Tory Candidate, Chloe Smith as a Queen in Waiting but they might find that Craig Murray might steal the crown.
I certainly hope he does as he was treated in a disgraceful manner by Labour while serving as an ambassador in Uzbekistan.
The Labour Government tried to fit him up.
The full list of candidates (in alphabetical order):
Peter Baggs (Independent)
Thomas Burridge (Libertarian Party)
Anne Fryatt (None of The Above Party)
Bill Holden (Independent)
Laud Howling (The Official Monster Raving Loony Party)
Craig Murray (Put An Honest Man into Parliament)
Chris Ostrowski (Labour)
April Pond (Liberal Democrat)
Rupert Read (Green)
Chloe Smith (Conservative)
Glenn Tingle (UK Independence Party)
Robert West (British National Party)
But there can be only one winner and hopefuly it will be Craig Murray.
Yours sincerely
George Laird
