Blur drummer to stand for election http://www.nme.com/news/27605 Blur drummer Dave Rowntree has announced he intends to stand in the UK local council elections this May as a Labour candidate. Rowntree has confirmed his selection to stand as Labour's candidate for a forthcoming council by-election in Marylebone. Speaking about his new career direction, Rowntree told The Independent. "I've been a long-standing member of the Labour party and active in local politics for a while. "I'm a Westminster resident and in my experience of living here, it all looks lovely - there are hanging baskets everywhere - but you only need to scratch beneath the surface and see that there's a lot of deprivation and a lot of inequality around. I think someone needs to do something about it." However the drummer may face difficulties in getting elected, as the Marylebone ward traditionally maintains a strong Conservative stronghold. -- 這是意味著reunion的機會越來越渺茫嗎……orz --
