At least. They could do so much more. And should.

Quaint. Time to get their heads out of last century?

A bit much perhaps, but not unmanageable. There are 32 groups, plus 5 
ungrouped. 37 is still a lot. A checklist might help.

84 candidates for (I think) 6 seats. And we don't even ask why we should 
vote for them. For all I know, some of them might want to promote 
planetary defences against invasion by carnivorous mutant hamsters from 
space.
