They cut the Greens I see, dissappointing. Could have been useful when canvassing survivalist gun nuts living in isolated and undiscovered communities.

Again, a reminder that these are "ABSOLUTELY certain to vote" figures - before that his Lordship had Lab 32 Con 30.
Hands up anybody who thinks this is going to be a low turnout election (by post-1990s standards, anyway)?

Ashcroft appears to be one of the worst pollsters for us (looking through the wild fluctuations he shows) which makes it all the more positive that his marginal polls have tended to show us in a decent position.

Lord Ashcroft has announced he is retiring from the Lords. He's pledged to keep involved with politics, including polling and running his various websites.
He gets to keep the title, but am I being too cynical in looking towards section 41 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 as an explanation for the move?

Having just read that section, I still have no idea what it, or you, are on about. |

That makes 12 peers retiring before the new Parliament or just retired under the Steel Act.

That opening sentence reminded me of the Dave Rhodes "Make.Money.Fast" letter, if anyone was around on the internet in the early 90s.

Lucky man that in his early twenties IDS had not removed his dole.

If a peer retires, can they decide to un-retire or does it require a new creation?
