And Then We Were Two … The Race Tightens

It’s been an exciting week.  At the beginning of the week I submitted nomination papers, duly confirmed, but except for rumour was unable to ascertain who else might be standing.  On Wednesday, three of us were running.  The canvassing has been underway for a week and there has been some tremendous voter interest, but today noon was the deadline for withdrawing.  The announcement of the final candidates came out this afternoon.  I look forward to meeting William Charnley, whom I strangely haven’t met during my City career – the City is sometimes simultaneously large and small.  Thus, it’s a two horse race with me and Chris Roebuck.  More news surely lies ahead…
