Oona King is not standing for London Mayor

The candidates are in, and unless I've misread the rules, these are it for the election. So the Oliver Kamm campaign for Oona King to stand now lies in the write-in campaign. I've warned that this would merely spoil the ballot paper, but I am well aware I cannot stop a Decent tidal wave, and of course this doesn't necessarily rule out its success - if (say) 20% of people spoilt their ballot paper for King I would say it was a success, if not a winning one. If more than 50% on the first ballot did so I'd say she had a moral victory. Anthony Wells will keep you informed - so far he's not splitting out the King vote but there's no doubt he will when he can.
