Except we know this isn't realistic, because as we've seen due to the inevitable "what's Larry Heather up to now" divergence over the past week in these threads, lots of crazy and / or stupid and / or terrible people want to run for office.
It's up to the party to weed them out and not put them on a poster with their logo next to them. Failing to do that sort of due diligence sewered the WRP in elections gone by, and there's really no excuse for not vetting your prospective candidates' social media in 2019. The UCP failing to take such basic steps to avoid shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly is either incompetence, arrogance or, most likely, both.
