In two weeks a by-election will take place in Chesterfield. There has been intense media interest and currently there are 17 candidates registered to stand in the election, which is a British record. In a film report Debi Davies finds out how easy it is to become a candidate as she registers for the 'Watch Central Lobby Party'. We see her visiting Chesterfield Town Hall and then asking people on the streets of the town to back sponsor her. Frivolous parties would be discouraged if the deposit required to stand was raised to £1000. Interview with Jonathan Tyler of the Ecology Party who would be hit by this proposal. Interview with Chesterfield returning officer Ron Cave.
