Ward 16 candidates finalised

Eight candidates now confirmed for the by-election up at Liberton/Gilmerton taking place on the 9th September:

• BROWN, MEV Independent
• COOK, BILL Scottish Labour Party Candidate
• FOX, COLIN Scottish Socialist Party
• HUNT, PHILIP Pirate Party Scotland
• KNOX, JOHN CHRISTOPHER Scottish Liberal Democrats
• LEWIS, RICHARD Scottish National Party (SNP)
• McCOLL, PETER Scottish Green Party
• MURRAY, STEPHANIE Scottish Conservative and Unionist

Further details here and here.

Meant to mention that this lampost picture was taken yesterday when we were canvassing in the Ward: I don't think that chap is the Lib-Dem candidate any longer?

One can only hope they have some Knox posters to cover this up soon??

... mind you - not certain even that will help their likely vote ;-)
