UKIP candidate up for EIGHT seats

UKIP's impressive number of candidates is being given a somewhat unusual boost by North-West MEP John Whittaker, who is standing in eight constituencies across the North-West of England. Should he win in more than one of them he will cause a by-election for the second choice seat, and although not forced to (as Iain Paisley MP MEP demonstrates) he says that if he wins a seat in Westminster he shall resign his seat in the European Parliament, bumping up the next UKIP candidate on the list from last year's election.

Dr Whittaker is standing in Ashton-under-Lyne, Crosby, Heywood and Middleton, Hyndburn, Manchester Central, Rochdale, Stalybridge and Hyde, and Wigan.
