Description Page sought election as a 'Referendum-UK Independence' candidate but this was merely a title and he was solely the candidate of the UK Independence Party.

Huggett was seeking election in order to divide the Liberal Democrat vote as part of a family feud. He sought election as a 'Literal Democrat Mark here to Win', which was an attempt to deceive voters intending to vote Liberal Democrat.

Everest sought election as a 'Euro-Conservative' candidate.
