Christopher,
perhaps you could move to Scotland and fight the election in May, proportional representation - you dont even have to be first past the post - perhaps if you stood in Moray (lots of services peeps) and had a services agenda, you could get in !!
From the Scottish parly:
'The Scottish Parliament is made up of 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). There are 73 constituency MSPs and 56 Regional MSPs, 7 for each of the 8 regions – see map below). Each person in Scotland is represented by one constituency MSP and seven regional MSPs.
The system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament is a form of proportional representation known as the Additional Member System (AMS). Using this system, each voter has two votes. The first is cast for a constituency MSP, via the same First Past the Post system. The second vote is used to elect the additional (regional) members. The additional members are elected at a regional level to ensure that, as far as possible, the share of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament reflects the share of votes cast for each party'
