So here goes. After many years, months and days campaigning, working hard to serve as Harlow's MP, the waiting is almost over. Mr Brown is to go to the Queen tomorrow and the election date will be announced for 6 May 2010.
I have always thought that politics is a little like football - in that its never over until the final whistle. It's also as unpredictable - one minute your ahead, then the other team score a goal in injury time. One week your team is up, the next week its down.
One lesson I have learnt over the years - particularly after losing by 97 votes last time - is that you can never take anything for granted. You have to fight every minute of every day to prove your worth to the Public.
That is why, it will be good to be out and about over the next few weeks all day long around the Constituency - meeting thousands of voters. Although I have been doing this week in week for a number of years, an election campaign is that much more intensive. Early starts at dawn and late bed-times beckon.
It will be exciting yet tough, it will be gruelling, and it will be somewhat nerve-wracking. But I am convinced it will be worth it in the end.
I hope to use my blog over the coming days and weeks just to set out what its like on the campaign trail. Happy reading!
