A few opening comments ...

One year ago, when the opening hours of the election saw a glut of candidates put themselves forward, I questioned whether it was going too early too soon. Josh won by that strategy. So this year the candidates seem to have gone even earlier.

With Harry Cole announcing his election candidature many weeks ago, it appears that Adam Ramsay decided he had to go early too. And at least this year his website seems half decent. Nick Ward is also standing - and is the 'Labour' candidate. Now, whilst this election could degenerate into a series of tags of what each candiate is and isn't, I'll be interested in seeing how Nick differentiates himself from the pack of Labour type casts.

And with Nick & Harry announcing their manifestoes very early, will Adam cherry pick from them or come up with a rerun of his 2007 manifesto?
