Big ballot papers

Via Labour Watch, we find that Fathers 4 Justice are planning to stand candidates at the next General Election. It's starting to look like the next election is going to resemble a by-election in many constituencies what with UKIP promising to stand everywhere, Galloway talking of Respect standing in 100 constituencies, the Greens getting more organised and standing more candidates as well as all the other fringe parties and Boaks-esque perennial candidates getting thrown into the mix. I wonder what the record is for the most candidates in a General Election? A quick Googling doesn't seem to bring any answers, even from the excellent UK elections site. Still, all those lost deposits should help Returning Officers' budgets across the country.

Still, with UKIP pressuring Tory MPs and Respect and Fathers 4 Justice threatening to target Labour ones, I wonder if anyone is going to specifically target the Liberal Democrats?
