2010's Martin Kyslun: Meet Godfrey Spickernell

Back in 2005, I wrote about Martin Kyslun. I fully expected to see his name among the election results when they were finally published. However, I did not. This is the reason why. Sorry, belatedly, to hear of his passing.

Martin famously received 5 votes in 2005 - and now that I'm older I can appreciate better his reasons for standing in the first place.

This year, Godfrey Spickernell received the least votes in his constituency of Chelsea & Fulham, gaining 17 votes for his Blue Environment Party (Source: BBC News). Now, given that the Green Party until this election had never won a seat, the desire to replace the Green Party was somewhat ambitious. However, I admire him for trying, even though I certainly do not agree with all that is written on his comprehensive website.
