Talk:South Staffordshire (constituency)/South Staffordshire postponed poll, 2005

A Parliamentary Election will be held in the constituency of of South Staffordshire, on 23 June, 2005. This poll is strictly not a by-election, but rather a part of the UK General Election, 2005 which was postponed due to the death of the Liberal Democrat candidate, Josephine Harrison, after nominations for the poll had closed. As such it is run under General Election regulations, for instance it does not qualify for the massively inflated Election Expense limits applicable to by-elections. With the seat being apparently safely Conservative, and the UK media satiated by coverage of the General Election, it is unlikely to attract as much attention as recent by-elections where seats held by the governing Labour Party were under threat.
