I wonder what will happen to the pending by-elections under the 6 moth rule now that the May elections are cancelled, it will mean that wards where Councillors have resigned of died waiting over 12 months got somebody to represent them! If anybody knows let us know please We'll have to wait until the legislation is tabled before we can work that out. |

Presumably it means that seats which fell vacant under the six month rule will now - eventually - get a by-election. I assume that there will have to be some secondary legislation to postpone the May elections and that this will deal with by-elections. (1) where the process is under way? and (2) new ones.
I put down some questions yesterday about the Mya elections, now redundant.

There's also the complication of councillors who have already resigned expecting to be replaced in May, but who would not have done so if there had been no elections this year. I think in Gateshead Mary Foy MP has not yet resigned and may now not do so until next year.

The six moth rule only applies when using a butterfly ballot paper. some of those who supported Corbyn are in sects again now. They were always Insects Barnaby. But off now to the model railway exhibition at Pudsey. |
