So it was wrong to call the Liberal Democrat Mark “Bristol” Dyson. Sorry Mark, I’ll call you Mark “Battersea” Dyson.
He is the only one of the ten candidates nominated, and nine candidates allowed, who does not live in Suffolk. According to his nomination (in PDF) he is listed as living at an “Address in the Battersea Constituency”. Everyone else either has an IP postcode or is listed at “Address in the Ipswich Constituency”.
It seems that Mark Dyson was parachuted in by the Liberal Democrat office over two local Liberal Democrat activists as they “weren’t experienced enough”, at least that’s according to a rather downcast Lib Dem activist I bumped into yesterday. So much for localism.
On his performance at the hustings, you wonder what they weren’t experienced enough for? Mentioning Vince Cable 27 times in an evening? Making the third candidate speech on election night? Operating a twitter account less than I operate a blog? Claiming that the port noise may not have been real? Saying stupid things about replacing global capitalism?
By the way his votedyson.com website is up.
