I think he's a given, so needs to be specifically excluded.</p> <p>I'd like to nominate Maria Hutchings, Conservative candidate at Beastleigh. Not the most inspiring campaign, and she was "bundled away" to avoid contact with the press after the results were announced.</p> <p>But so many to choose from! </p>
