Mr Bell, who was independent MP for Tatton from 1997 to 2001, said the candidates had an unprecedented opportunity to 'change the face of politics for good'.


The 47 candidates have all been endorsed by the Independent Network, an association that provides support to candidates who are not members of traditional political parties.


They have agreed to a code of conduct inspired by Mr Bell - the 'Bell Principles' - which require that they listen to and consult their communities, and resist abuses of power.


Independent candidate and TV presenter Esther Rantzen, who is not part of the Independent Network, will be challenged by independent Joe Hall in Luton South - where Labour's Margaret Moran stood down over her expense claims.
