It is a bit of a bizarre election. Most of us are opposed to an un-elected chamber and we don't have much of a clue whether the party will even be offered a seat there. CamerClegg said that new appointments to the Lords will be made on the basis of general election vote share which should give us about 7 seats - so fat chance of that happening.
Anyway, if there is an outside chance of shaking up the current bunch of peers, campaigning to get the House of Lords closed down and re-established as a fully elected senate, and getting across our radical eco-socialist message then I'm up for it.
Have a look at my Stuart for Lords blog and let me know if you want to be added to the growing list of endorsements.
The field of candidates is strong and wise, so I think the party can be confident of picking a good list of nominees:
Shahrar Ali
Emma Dixon
James Humphreys
Jenny JonesJohn Whitelegg
Hazel Dawe
Jessica Goldfinch
Robin Harper
Stuart Jeffery

Rebecca Johnson
Jim KitchenRupert Read
David Aherne

Larry Sanders
Tony SladeDon't forget this a STV election and there are 10 nominations up for grabs.
