add scrapers for UKIP candidates

[mhl]

Add a scraper or scrapers for UKIP candidates, similar to these ones:

• https://github.com/mhl/UK-Political-Parties/tree/ppc-scrapers/ppcs

The best source for this at the moment seems to be a UKIP Twitter list: https://twitter.com/Vote_UKIP/lists/ukip-ppcs-3/members

Ace! I could do this one 😺

@andylolz Great - I've assigned this to you, so hopefully other people won't duplicate the work. It's best if it follows the pattern of the scrapers in the all-scrapers branch in this repository: https://github.com/mhl/UK-Political-Parties/tree/all-scrapers/ppcs - i.e. just outputting to json/ukip.

Ace.

The main issue is figuring out the constituency for each PPC. I’m fetching WMCs from MapIt, so I guess I’ll make it make some educated guesses from there, based on twitter description (and possibly location… although presumably it’s best to err on the side of caution.)

I've discussed this with @andylolz and we agreed that this probably isn't particularly needed any more, so I'm closing the issue, but for reference some of his work-in-progress is here: https://gist.github.com/andylolz/625f479dd5bed9ce2d08
