UKIP is appealing on Twitter for a candidate to step forward as a councillor for the Pudsey ward in Leeds. I wonder if there are any Libertarians willing to stand?

UKIP is the closest thing we have to a supportable libertarian party in the UK, and  a débutante libertarian can only help move UKIP toward better policies. To get involved you would have to join the party, follow a central party selection procedure and appeal to the local party in Leeds and be willing to do soon your own initiative as this blog has only very limited contact with UKIP.

Whatever ideological label you apply, if your platform is openly and unambiguously small-government , capitalist, peaceful, and socially liberal then access to this blog will be provided in support of your campaign, to help get you off to a good start.
