    I will be voting RON if allowed, primarily because neither is an MP. If we want to be taken seriously & at least come third then we need a Candidate who looks serious & who some Voters might have seen on TV.
    Im sure these Men are good people & I have heard, vaguely of both – because I am a member of The Libdems.
