The countries where they've announced that they'll be running candidates (either under their own name or as part of a 'coalition') are: 1. Czech Republic 2. France 3. Ireland 4. Latvia 5. Lithuania 6. Malta 7. Netherlands 8. Poland 9. Spain 10. UK The UK line-up is so far pretty uninspiring, consisting of one self-publicist, Herbert Grossman, and a group of political unknowns. They'll need to have all their candidates announced by May 1, no matter what the legal deadlines for nominations might be. Not only is that the date of their party conference in Rome, but it's only five weeks or so before the election dates. Five weeks is the absolute minimum amount of time you'd need to establish a candidate's name and party affiliation in the public mind and run a campaign. |
