Because I wish I didn't have to.

Also I couldn't find a linkable picture of the Cannabis is Safer than Alcohol candidate, alas. So we'll have to do without him :(

Voted for #4 because he looks the most businesslike.  Was tempted to vote #9 because of huge cans.

One looks like a very unsuitable and therefore good mp (like most greens?)
6 looks quite obviously laboury and puts me in mind of Patterson Joseph. So him.

Slightly high profile incumbent.

Nope, just a £500 deposit which you lose if you win less than 5% of the vote.

I'm excited to see how many the Lib Dems lose :mmm:

The Whig Party are alarmingly sensible. They're basically a liberal metropolitan elites party. They're pro-Europe, socially liberal and economically liberal (like an EU friendly David Cameron). They like things like building more houses through relaxing planning laws :mmm:

The founder said he was worried that it might be a party that only appeals to zone 2 Londoners, but found most of his positive emails came from students in provincial universities. So the zone 2 Londoners of the future.

I am just going to go out on a limb here Mono and suggest that the Whigs are not a threat to the major parties of the UK. And the UK does not really have a two party system. Hell in Scotland it seems to almost have a one party system.
