Richmond by-election?
Wrote in post #2001 (6-9-12):

"Actually a by-election in Richmond would be interesting, it is a Consevative-Libdem marginal, Labour don't stand a chance.
Possibly, Goldsmith might be tempted to fight it as a Green (after a deathbed conversion?) or as an anti-LHR independent.
Boris may be tempted to seek nomination as the Conservative candidate in order to already be in the Commons when the time comes for Call-me-Dave to "fall on his sword". "
-------------
And today Boris has apparently denied it strongly! does he read PPRUNE? Surely these denials must make it a strong possibility?
