Hashemite was briefly leader of PASOK, the Greek centre-left party.
What's the story behind that?

Long story short, Hash comes from a prominent Greek political dynasty and served as a Minister in PASOK cabinets on a few occasions, eventually becoming leader and Prime Minister in 2009 when he led his party to victory at the elections. But as you're presumably aware Greece had something of a debt crisis and in the ensuing meltdown he was forced from office and succeeded by some fat traitor. He's still pretty bitter about it as you can tell from the tone of his posts.

A former regular (as in quite a few years ago now) is a Labour councillor in Halton (in Widnes to be more specific), a current regular was a LibDem councillor in Preston for approximately five seconds in 2010. A former very regular and still frequent-ish lurker/occasional poster is a (Labour) parish councillor in County Durham.

The record of defeated candidates is much longer.

Is that the Lib Dem who resigned because his girlfriend asked him or something?
