A candidate in that election was nearly killed in a plane crash. If he had been killed, this would have delayed the election in that constituency (as in Thirsk & Malton). This means the incumbent Speaker would not have been in Parliament, and could not be re-elected Speaker by the House, when Parliament re-assembled. Would MPs have improvised with an ‘acting Speaker’ for a few weeks? Or would there have been a new permanent Speaker?
A deputy speaker would have stepped in until the deferred election was ran. There are a couple of deputy speakers anyway.

I agree, couldn’t believe it when my boss said today he had never voted, he used to be in the army too, being prepared to fight in wars without any interest who is governing the country makes no sense to me. Its laziness and ignorance, people died so that we could have the vote.

You do realize that without the White support…Obama would never have made it through the primaries.
You can thank your fellow Caucasians, and the Majority of African-Americans for giving this country Barack Obama as President for the next 8 years.
