During the course of a parliament there are frequently several by-elections. Where will they be?
Any constituency that holds a by-election to elect a new Member of Parliament will resolve YES on the day polling opens. All outstanding answers will resolve NO on the day parliament is dissolved for the next General Election.
@traders Mike Amesbury has been sentenced to ten weeks in prison, meeting the criteria for a recall petition. Given that the threshold for the petition to succeed is ten thousand, and Reform were in second place with seven + thousand votes, it seems very likely this will be Starmer’s first by-election.
Adding Runcorn and Helsby after the MP sucker punched a constituent. He’d have to be sent to prison for it to trigger a by-election, but that doesn’t seem impossible!
