[cvn-developers] Press Association list of all candidates

Anyone fancy screen scraping this, and doing a structured diff against
the YourNextMP database :)

And then checking that against actual nomination papers.

That's fantastic!

Anyone fancy comparing it to the YourNextMP data (which you can
download from their site as one big .json file), and making a report
of the discrepancies?
