Wow! This is wonderful ... that a name that is clearly an obstacle to its owner (or why would he go by, as Pavlos says, the rather butch Derick?) should actually mean 'Without Obstacles'! Thomas Hardy, master of the contrived coincidence, couldn't have invented it.

The candidate's surname, by the way, is Kissoonduth. This might give some hint as to where in India his family originates from. And he wasn't elected.

Thanks so much - it has been most interesting.
