EUSA-less or Harry Cole-less?

Across on EUSA-less, it's come out that Harry Cole has been part of the brains behind the site. Whilst he should have made it clear a long while out that he was part of the operation of the site, his decision to say that he's involved now, during the crucial election season, at least has the mark of man who's putting his hands up.

Harry's letter is right: EUSA-less' very existence has raised the profile of EUSA, raised the profile of the elections and may even make voters who had never thought of voting before, vote. That's an achievement. Last year, this blog got over 5000 hits during the few weeks of the election ... I don't have the stats on how many individual visitors that is, but one way or the other these blogs are bringing more people into the elections.

What must happen now is that Harry must distance himself from the site for the duration of the two weeks. If EUSA-less is to maintain any semblance of fairness during the elections (especially if Harry was to get elected, he'd have to work with 3 other Sabbs who EUSA-less may have chosen to be scathing of), Harry has to put distance and space between EUSA-less and him.

The question is, will he do it?

No one cares what you think Jordan.
Go and live your life.
Following the election from an online perspective is obviously biased and ridiculous.
grow up.
