• [Jun 29] Brian Paddick writes: THERE were three necessary but not sufficient conditions that had to be fulfilled before I could declare myself as a candidate to be nominated as the Lib Dem Candidate for Mayor of London in 2012. That I honestly believed that I had the support of a wide range of people from both within and outside the party, that I could do a better job than I did last time and that I was able to offer something other candidates could not. I believe those conditions are now met, which is why I am, here and now, declaring myself to be a candidate. But am I right?
. . Of course, it does not really matter whether I think the necessary conditions have been met. Whether I have the support of the party will be decided by a vote of London members - having the support of the majority is the necessary and sufficient condition to stand as the Lib Dem candidate. I just think, if you are a London member, you should have the opportunity to vote for me as well as the other candidates.
