Opinion: Why Mike Tuffrey should be our candidate for Mayor of London

March 28, 2011 10:12 AM

Mike Tuffrey• [Mar 28] Mark Pack writes: OVER the weekend I started up a 'draft Mike Tuffrey' page on Facebook to encourage Mike Tuffrey, one of our London Assembly candidates to put his name forward as our candidate for the 2012 Mayor elections.

Imagining your fantasy perfect candidate is always fun (a cross between Paddy Ashdown and Shirley Williams perhaps?) but as the actual selection is nearing for its second attempt, I'm not won over by the likely choices on offer - and I think Mike has an awful lot to contribute.

. . So those are the reasons why overall Mike Tuffrey would be by far the best candidate of the three. Mike would be a great candidate both in his own right and when compared with the likely alternative.

If you agree, sign up on Facebook to help persuade him to throw his hat in the ring.
