Election diagrams
Hi there,

Thanks for clarifying whether Bush is premier-Elect or not. The media reports I saw indicated it was a done deal.

Just noticed that you're knowledgeable on BVI politics, which I guess is rare for a Wiki user. I've been making electoral map diagrams for the British overseas territories but I can't seem to find a diagram showing the constituency borders in the BVI which I can recreate. Do you know of one I could use?

Also, the articles on the two BVI parties (as with articles on parties in most other Caribbean overseas territories) seem to be pretty vague on the positioning of the parties in the left-right spectrum. Is there any chance you could clarify that somewhat?

Many thanks!

 * Well Cayman politics being what it is, it looks like the position changed at least two more times during the night! We'll just have to see where we land.
 * I don't know of any electoral maps for BVI, but I'll look and see what I can find.

Judicial Post-Nominals
Hey there. Two comments/questions on the Lord Lindley SL post-nominal (and for judicial post-nominals on Wikipedia in general):

(1) Is it not customary for QCs to drop that post-nominal upon elevation to the bench, at least in England and Wales? I know that in NZ they don't drop, but I'm pretty sure they do in England.

(2) As for serjeants, I've never seen SL used in contemporary reports to refer to serjeants. It was my impression that they were referred to as Serjeant [last name] instead; at least it's what I've seen in the old reports.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on both.

 * It is certainly correct that when High Court judges are in office they would not longer use the designation QC or SL (although not true of Court Court judges, who continue to be called QC even on the bench). But after they are dead normally obituaries and other records will refer to whether they received the honour.  Serjeants at Law are also a bit unusual in that judges who were former Serjeants would wear a black coif in their wig to designate themselves.
 * My view has tended to be that, in line with the "obituary" rule, its probably correct to record a QC or SL in the post-nominals at the start of the article, even if a judge ceased to refer to the honour. But I am not militant about it and there seem to be articles that go either way.  But for the reasons noted above, I tend to think SL is "more deserving" of inclusion than QC.

Civil liability in recreational diving
Hi Legis, I have stuck my neck out and created an article on Civil liability in recreational diving, since I found a few references that looked usable and it looked like the article could be useful.

Hello, do you still wish to pursue this nomination? Two other reviews have left messages and are asking for your thoughts. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:05, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
 * No, I think I had previously indicated that I didn't want to proceed with it. I didn't have time to fix the (very valid) criticisms of it, and I didn't anyone else would.  So easiest to just withdraw it. --Legis (talk - contribs) 16:59, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

BVI election results
Hi Legis. I noticed that several of the results from the 2019 and 2015 election don't match the published results by the governnment (for example, the 2015 district seats largely don't match these results). I guess you may have added the preliminary results rather than the final ones?

Also, with regards to the main results table, having them on a separate template is to be avoided (there is a big drive to delete all these templates at the moment), so I have moved the 2019 results to the article in a new table (see here). This format is based on the one for Luxembourg, where voters can cast numerous votes, but it still allows easy reporting of the actual number of voters etc (see here). I will also look to convert the previous articles to this format over the next few days, which will allow the addition of other data, such as invalid votes etc (I was doing it for the 2015 elections, but then got sidetracked after noticing the district results didn't match the formal ones). Cheers, Number   5  7  13:28, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Political positions of BVI parties
Hi there,

Do you have any knowledge about the positions of the four major BVI parties? As in, which ones are left of centre, and which are right of centre etc? There is some information already on Wikipedia but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

Thanks

--RaviC (talk) 23:40, 25 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes and no. The reality is that BVI Political Parties are not really centred around ideology.  We don't have a political 'left' or 'right' in the normal sense of that word, nor do we have parties attached to a particular platform (like a 'Green' party, or similar).  BVI elections are just more about dividing yourselves into teams and seeing who is more popular rather than promoting a particular system of government. --Legis (talk - contribs) 17:29, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
