Although Matt O'Connor has not been seen for several days, with the article in the Daily Mail he is now politically dead, but not too my knowledge actually dead.
He joined the English Democrats in December 2007, with enthusiasm about the "English Cause".
He jumped on the chance that there was an opportunity to stand as Mayoral Candidate.
With hindsight, he obviosly viewed this as a chance to start his own political party off the back of the publicity.
Unfortunately he viewed his own EGO as more important then the English Cause, the result is that he has now be publicly outed as a drunk, and he has shown a niave attitude to small party politics.
The English Democrats is one of only 6 political partys able to put out a full slate of candidates in London along with
1 Conservative & Unionist
2 Anti-English Labour
3 Pro-EUssr Liberal Demcorats
4 UKIP
5 We are Green Party
6 English Democrats
Out of these six parties the English Democrats is clearly the worst funded.
His resignation was simply to try to sink the English Democrats - he has not suceeded.

Why all of the He, He, He?
He is a sad and troubled person.
EDP allowed him to join 4 months ago. I imagine that was because EDP saw his high profile as useful?
""He jumped on the chance that there was an opportunity to stand as Mayoral Candidate""
Really?
Kentishman! You make it sound as if the EDP leaders had no choice in his selection.
The truth is that after only a few weeks as a member of the party the EDP had him signed up as candidate.
EDP jumped at the chance of HIM as their candidate.
Did the EDP do any checks on him?
How long had he been interested in 'English' politics?
Did you actually interview him or was it just a nod through?
I think that gloating over any addiction he may have is petty and despicable.
I imagine that he will recover from his problems quicker that the EDP will.
IMHO he deserves to!
Any problems are of your own making.
A bit like the Generals blaming the dead soldiers for a battle lost.
A few falling on sword acts may be required by the weekend. Eh K'm?
