Albert Tatlock Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Best advice...get qualified first. Either...Hammer a pen into your ear...or hit your head against a hard, surface 300 times until your eyes blur. And any sign of that commonsense superpower...stick your hand into a hot deep fat fryer.

You declare your intention to stand in the media, get twenty voters to sign your nomination form and begin canvassing. There are many rules to be observed but nothing too onerous. Your expenses are printing manifestoes, calling cards, posters and any publicity which you choose. Be prepared to spend a few grand, there is a limit on expenditure and it's hard work.

I did and it was paid by return of post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the stinking enigma Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 The fact that Barrie didn't get in can only stand in his favour in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
