ON June 8, the country will go to the polls.

Here is a fun, at-a-glance guide to the candidates in the Clacton constituency.

We have given each candidate six categories.

As well as party and age, they have rough scores for experience, local roots, odds and online friends.

None of these are particularly scientific!

Experience is the number of years as an elected official in Essex – be it a parish councillor or an MP.

Local roots is the number of years they have lived in or near their constituency.

Odds are the latest from bookmaker Paddy Power.

Online friends is the number of members, fans or friends on Facebook and Twitter.

We have also included election pledges from each prospective MP as they continue to campaign.
