My candidacy in the Westminster election

Mark Devenport | 13:10 UK time, Monday, 8 March 2010

That's what would generally be called a "tease", as I have no plans to stand for any party. But after the Mike Nesbitt candidacy in Strangford it seems like everyone is fair game. The most recent rumours concern the former UTV presenter Fearghal McKinney, who has been linked to the SDLP in Fermanagh South Tyrone. A few moments ago in the Great Hall the SDLP leader Margaret Ritchie refused to be drawn on the rumours. But the latest line from Ferghal is that "the short answer is no". We are still awaiting the long answer.

My colleague Martina Purdy has been approached by the "Shopping Should Be A Subsidised Sport Party", but she is zealously protecting her journalistic independence.
