e/Prospective parliamentary candidate

Information
has gloss	eng: Prospective parliamentary candidate (PPC) is a term used in British politics to refer to candidates selected by political parties to fight individual constituencies in advance of a general election. This terminology was motivated by the strict limits on the amount of expenses incurred by an actual candidate - regardless of whether the election had been formally called. The candidates were termed prospective so that any money spent to promote them would not come under the limit.
