In his analysis of the Parliamentary scene in Hove and Portslade (December 31), Adam Trimingham refers to one Paul Elwood. This is in fact the former Lib Dem councillor Paul Elgood.

Interesting as the LibDem vote was in 2010, Mr Trimingham does not mention that the Lib Dems have yet to campaign, indeed to find a candidate.

One must not tempt fate, but if a contingent of those 11,000 Lib Dem voters see fit to come to the Green Party (as happened in Central Hove in 2011), it could become another race between the Tories and myself.

After all, Coun Elgood was magnanimous in defeat by calling me the ‘Central hurricane’.
