That and a certain amount of bad driving.

Its up to the other journalists to refuse to move on until RefUK answer the questions. Better still, cut off the oxygen of publicity.

Do you think that social media is the best place to get a reply to genuine concerns?

Sad to see you've lost respect. I hope having all the information will reassure you. Cheltenham had all out elections in 2024, so it wasn't to extend the term beyond the maximum 4 years.

Its not embarrassing. Cheltenham had all out elections in 2024. They weren't trying to extend the term beyond 4 years.

I have just looked into this. It appears there were all out elections in 2024, so in the case of Cheltenham, it wasn't to extend the term beyond the maximum 4 years.

The reorganisation is unlikely before 2028. Many have already been postponed a year.

Oh absolutely but that's likely to hit the less experienced local party organisations. Those parties that work their patch all year round will have a head start.

I suspect Charlie isn't a Lib Dem and probably not a real person.

I may be wrong but restrictions will exist once the notice of election has been posted won't they? Ironically that's just a few weeks away so may reduce impact.

Labour are an authoritarian party. They always have been. See also Tony Blair.

Probably?

Which local parties are set-up to cope best with this will be significant.

It wasn't that she was performing well. Starmer was struggling though.

Greens are much less attractive to Tory voters than they used to be. I suspect they'll stay at home.

This lot are off to have a whale of a time at this year's World Whale Day party πŸŽ‰

πŸ‹ Take a moment to watch them go about their business in the knowledge that since commercial whaling was banned in 1986, populations have been bouncing back.

So according to the postcode lottery players the Green vote would go up in this scenario? πŸ€”

There's been no serious challenge to the Conservatives in that ward for years. They flirted with the BNP once.

I would also ask how well the Greens got the message across to Lib Dems.

And genuine good will from non supporters who wanted Blair to succeed.

Do we all get to cherry pick a single local authority by-election from the last few weeks to mske our point?

As a Lib Dem, we should see that 17% as a challenge.
