If the polls are to be believed they dont need one

And Boris has ruled it out - I wonder why.

This morning on the radio Boris confirmed that he would not stand as the Conservative candidate in Clacton, where the party needs a candidate to take on Douglas Carswell, who has defected to Ukip and who is fighting a byelection. Johnson said he had already applied for Uxbridge.
The first objection to [the idea he should stand in Clacton], really, is that I already whacked in the CV for Uxbridge. It would seem a bit eccentric.
