Ulitzer95 12,576 Posted January 1, 2021 Obit for academic Roy Douglas (wiki), who died in mid-December aged 95. Worthy of a mention in here because he stood as a candidate (for the Liberals) in the 1950 and 1951 UK General Elections. I'm not aware of any other candidates from those elections still living.
