Endorser details

Do we really need to include details of all the endorsers? They make the article a lot bigger and harder to follow, and it's information that can be found very quickly by clicking the wikilinks. If the geography of endorsers is interesting, we could produce a map for the page; but I don't think that listing every constituency and ministerial office is useful.

I think we do, it's the whole point of this page.
