Or, indeed, whether any of the other 25 candidates have any such formal "sponsors".<br /><br />I hope this helps clarify, because it is certainly not in several cases clear from their 150 word election statements.Alan Fincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818658735421434869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274848634500928376.post-45786134023589660562012-02-01T11:26:36.100+00:002012-02-01T11:26:36.100+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alan Fincherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05818658735421434869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274848634500928376.post-77854929360086625692012-02-01T09:41:05.406+00:002012-02-01T09:41:05.406+00:00Thanks for this information Alan, is it possible t...Thanks for this information Alan, is it possible to list on your blog those candidates who are affiliated to 'associations' - so that when we come to cast our vote, those that wish to back an 'independent' can do so? It would certainly be a big help to me. Many thanks.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902228762594290638noreply@blogger.com
