    Greetings from Fragrant Harbour, where it is getting hot and sticky as thunderstorms approach.

    I opened the local English language paper this morning and it was full of ads for London property. That is serious bubble territory.

    I am glad the Left have got their act together for the Euros, is there any prospect of NO2EU picking up a seat anywhere? It might be a wasted vote, and their quasi-protectionist side is one of the worst aspects of economic illiteracy to blight the "right-minded", but it would be good to do something in memory of Bob Crow. Not only did he have a genuine commitment to his cause, one which was exercised with unusual effectiveness, but no man has done so much to make me get out on my own two legs and grab some exercise.

    Absolutely none I suspect, they've simply failed to make any impact on the crowded stage of minor parties. I would expect them to lose a majority of their deposits, too.
    Is it still 2.5% to keep the deposit in the Euros?
    Yes - A £5000 deposit is required to stand in European elections. This will be returned if a candidate obtains 2.5% of the votes cast in the entire region.
