Should any nominally UK party be compelled to field candidates in every constituency? What do you think about the SNP? As a nationalist party are they automatically disqualified? Who really represents Ulster Unionists and Sinn Fein in the UK mainland?
Nope - parties should, in my opinion, be collections of politicians who are like-minded enough to form coalitions. Forcing them to stand somewhere doesn't seem to be terribly useful. And there aren't enough Unionists or Republicans on the mainland for them to need representation...
(All in my opinion, of course - I'm sure I'm not mainstream in my views)
