Larry Sanders's race ends May 7, when the U.K. holds its national elections. He was nominated by the Green Party in Oxford West and Abingdon in October 2014 to take on incumbent Nicola Claire Blackwood of the ruling Conservative Party. He has lived in Oxford since 1969 and has been involved in Green Party politics for 15 years.
Larry's chances of winning are admittedly about the same as Bernie's odds of becoming president. Online polling from YouGov puts his expected vote share at 5.1 percent, according to FiveThirtyEight. A former private pollster to U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron found only 4 percent of Oxford West and Abingdon voters in September said they'd vote for the Greens. The American Sanders has similarly averaged 4.2 percent in national polls of the Democratic primaries this year, according to an analysis by National Journal." NationalJournal
