Would anyone like to be a candidate? Anyone? Please...

You don't get many chances like this. From the UKIP website:
UKIP in Scotland will shortly be selecting a candidate to fight the Livingston by-election, caused by the death of Robin Cook.
If you are interested, or know of anyone interested, please let me know and I will pass details on straightaway.
It would help to have potential candidates who are Scottish.
We need to build up UKIP in Scotland ahead of the 2007 Scottish Parliament elections where we will be aided by the proportional representation system.

No mention of who will supply the required deposit, which will inevitably be lost. But look on the bright side, you would be able to spend at least three weeks canvassing in one of the more delightful new towns in West Lothian. Potential UKIP candidates may wish to note that Livingston is located a bit north of St Albans...
