The only problem is that Lord Ashdown couldn't do it because he is not in the House of commons (he's a Lord) and Martin Bell isn't an MP. Also; you would have to have quite a few years behind you to even be considered.
Yes GMR that is why I wrote this - "It's a shame in a way that it has to be a serving MP otherwise someone like Lord Ashdown or Martin Bell would also be good choices, in my humble opinion. "
Also Martin Bell isn't exactly a youngster and I believe the Sikh candidate for the post is in his late 30's.
