Julian
Assange is not eligible to stand in the general election - and he could get in
trouble if he tries.
The
Wikileaks founder, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid
questioning over rape allegations for several years, has been cheekily tweeting
about throwing his hat in the ring since Theresa May announced the election on
Tuesday.
He posted a
poll asking his followers: "Should I run in the UK general election?"
Some 71% of
his followers thought he should - with around half saying he should do it
because "That'd be fun".
The next
day, he said: "I can run for Parliament in any constituency in the UK.
Haha. So--which one?"
But it's not
quite as simple as that.
