Where? I haven't seen any high profile independents running, but I definitely might have missed them. Winning as an independent here would be extremely difficult I think.

I guess I go back and forth. Part of me thinks that yeah, its going to be a hollow victory, but then the other part of me thinks its brilliant. I mean if you're Prentice why wouldn't you go now? Its not his problem that the opposition basically has nothing in their favour at this point.
