Don't Plead No Contest

After Ian Gow was murdered, the Lib Dems won his seat. And, in principle, why not?

An uncontested by-election at Batley and Spen would be utterly anti-democratic.

But it is too late to give the screaming population the longed for relief that would be the cancellation of the EU referendum.

So this is being arranged as the next best thing.

Don't let it happen.
