What proportion of candidates for each party are lobbyists?

There is to be a big clear-out of MPs at this election, therefore many MPs will be from outside.

I read somewhere that the lobbyists - the professional career politicians that gave the House of Commons such a bad name - have flocked to the Conservative Party in the same way they flocked to New Labour in the 1990s.

Have they totally misread the LibDems though? What proportion of their candidates are lobbyists?
