    "Caroline Simons has not nominated any substitutes."

    As referenced in this article

    Two Libertas candidates have relatives on substitute lists - The Irish Times - Thu, May 14, 2009

    So let's just say she got elected and that for some reasons or another she was unable to fulfil her duties as an MEP, what happens then?

    Is there any mechanism other than the substitutes list for putting a replacement in place?

    In fairness though, why should she bother?!

    Interesting that a "party" which hates cronyism and all that, should nominate family members as alternates.

    Are they that short of names?

    I didn't know there were alternates. They should be obliged to step in when an MEP is on maternity leave.

    Shouldn't need them, as it would be an absolute fluke if she got elected.

    fair few gaps under the sub lists for other candidates, some don't detail proposers either, in the times list.

    For Caroline Simons to get elected, all other candidates would have to die of Swine Flu in the next 23 days.

    Shows she's efficient. She knows she hasn't a prayer of election.

    Why embarrass two other humans by associating them with CS?
