I've never thought that the recent Green support in Bolton has much if anything to do with environmentalism.

I see speculation that John Curtice may get chosen to lead Labour's electoral reform commission. And I see speculation that Labour want to end up with SV. I doubt both these things can be true. Because I would be very surprised if any commission led by Curtice ended up recommending SV.

The reaction of most elections academics if you suggest introducing SV for any election is roughly similar to the reaction they would give if you proposed setting fire to their favourite pet

Many many years ago when I was a HMIT I had a boss who had worked in Enquiry Branch, specialising in football clubs. He used to say that there was only *one* FC chairman he regarded as honest, and that was Eric Morecambe.

Was John London Britain's first Black voter? The 1749 Westminster by-election may seem unremarkable in its result. However, as @georgianfun.bsky.social explores, the election provides the earliest known record of a Black person voting in a British parliamentary election. #BlackHistoryMonth

If these votes had been cast in a 3-seat ordinary election, then I expect SNP, Lab and RUK would win one seat each. The 2022 result here was one each for SNP, Lab and the independent councillor whose death caused this by-election.

The parish council and ultimately council tax payers, that's who. Many parish councils would go bankrupt if they ever had to fund a poll, which is why there's quite a high legal bar for calling parish by-elections.
