Stuart Hill Independent candidate for Orkney & Shetland

“Allowing our lives to be disrupted in any way by such activity, no matter where it comes from, is inviting another attack. The best way to show respect for those injured or killed is to carry on as if nothing has happened.”

“For my own part, my heart goes out to those affected and their families, and I will show my compassion by not allowing this event to come in the way of the democratic process.”

The candidates contesting the Orkney and Shetland constituency are:

Labour: Robina Barton
SNP: Miriam Brett
Liberal Democrats: Alistair Carmichael
Independent: Stuart Hill
Conservative: Jamie Halcro Johnston
UKIP: Robert Smith
