Why is it that the election in the former Speaker's constituency will not be held until November, when the by-election in Norwich, which became vacant two whole weeks later is to be held in July?
Does G.Brown ever really do anything which does not either benefit his party or make difficulties for the Tories?
The anomaly above about election dates is a perfect example. It is in the best interest of the Labour Party in general and G. Brown in particular.
A July election will give the Tories very little time, and perhaps there really are still a few people who believe the Brownian lies about future debt and cuts. The majority is small, and the seat expendable.
Glasgow looks like a certain loss, to the SNP, but he wants Labour to have the maximum time possible to smear and sneer their way to possible victory. He has more to lose in a Scottish defeat, and he wishes to delay it as long as possible.
In elections for councillors, a maximum of 60 days is permitted between a death or resignation before a new election must be held. Why is it different in the case of Westminster?
