Social network goes on the London stump
Martin Waller: City Diary
A bunch of anonymous business types have put together £50,000 of funding that will allow someone - anyone, actually – to stand in the elections for London Mayor on May 1. They have created a website, Londonelectsyou, which allows any member of the public over 18 and a registered London voter to enter a poll. The candidate who gets the most e-mail votes is handed the cash to fund his or her campaign. The site has, inevitably, attracted some deeply weird people, including a poet who is urging his supporters to open as many e-mail accounts as they can and vote early, vote often and is doing rather well.
