If your interested in making a difference you'll always find a way, I remember when Ken Hargreaves first stood for Parliament he openly stated he had no interest in representing anywhere else but Hyndburn. When he lost his seat in 1992 he could have gone elsewhere and applied to be a candidate at by elections but just wasn't interested, if others had that ethos it would only help to create a more representative society
