Crowd funding appeal to seek MP’s removal from office

Following yesterday morning’s news that Orkney and Shetland MP Alistair Carmichael will not be standing down from his position in UK parliament, a group of Orkney folk are to launch a crowd funding campaign seeking Mr Carmichael’s removal from office.

The crowd funder was originally announced through the facebook page of Yes Orkney and the appeal’s goal will be to raise  £60,000.

The appeal is no longer being conducted under the group’s name, however a number of the Yes Orkney’s members are putting their names to the campaign in order to legitimize the appeal going forward.
