Iowa's caucus being first makes no sense, given how much it moved away from the Democrats in the last ten years. Nevada is much more representative of the modern Democratic coalition. I think NV is scrapping their caucus in favour of a primary, and they should be first in the nation rather than the Hawkeye state.

I wonder if the move to top 5 ranked choice voting in Nevada will impact the thinking regarding changes in the primary calendar?? |

Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson ran for state house in Kansas a decade ago as a Republican and won. Interestingly he got the media to not reveal that he was Gandhi's great-grandson during the election for him to run on his own record as a local heart surgeon and to not hurt his opponent's campaigns.

What a shame, given all the work done on this database, that it is not comprehensive as it fails to include the local authority serving the City of London. |

The Corporation of London is not a post-1964 institution. Ah - the old trick of responding to a point other than the one which was made! You said that this was meant to be " a database of everyone who served in London local government since 1964. " It may have escaped your attention, but the City of London Corporation councilmen and aldermen must, by any sane definition, be included in the set "of everyone who served in London local government since 1964." |

Additionally, the London County Council significantly pre-dated 1964 and is therefore also, clearly "not a post-1964 institution", yet you've listed "everyone" who served on the LCC from 1964 until its abolition. As I said, it's a shame that, for the sake of completeness, you forgot to include the City of London in your list. |

It's not. It's very well deserved.
It would also very much bloat the list. (How long has the concept of the residential wards existed? Including their common councillors wd be a quite resonable compromise.)

So.... one year then. London County Council was abolished in 1965, its territory becoming part of Greater London Council that covered a larger area. |

I haven't. I've only included LCC membership for people who also served on post-1964 institutions. |

I'm not very interested in the anachronistic electoral arrangements of the City of London & would instead praise David for the work he has put in rather than have a go at him.

Maybe I can suggest you can compile the corporation councillors since then and the associated aldermen and sheriffs though the City of London isn’t exactly a bastion of democracy given its archaic structure. Big thanks to David for all his work. Ah - the old trick of responding to a point other than the one which was made!

Amazing piece of work! *applause* Line 14,706: according to the results published in the Croydon Advertiser in May 1986, the surname was Zdanowicz not Zdanowic. |
