British cross-dressing actor-comedian Eddie Izzard, attending the Labour Party conference in Brighton yesterday, confirmed his desire to be elected Mayor of London in the year 2020. He announced it in a formal political setting, and for the first time mentioned his goal in a way that couldn’t be written off as just a dream. Labour Party leader Ed Miliband’s remarks at the conference indicating he would approve an Izzard candidacy were met with  cheers. Izzard has stated many times in the past his intention to enter politics sometime in the next decade. In earlier announcements, he’s said he was interested in becoming a Member of Parliament, a Member of the European Parliament, or Mayor of London, with 2020 as his target year for assuming office. You go, Eddie!
