What happens if the Lib Dems lose the local elections in May?

...will their action be declared void?


Anyone?


If this is the case, then surely we just have to make sure they don't get re-elected?

Is it not election by thirds in Lewes> If so, may be quite unlikely they would lose control even if they had a poor showing.

Remember, we are dealing with the scumsucking bastards who have their heads buried up DeVagi's backside. They will do everything to delay as often as they can, and for as long as legally possible. The actual process may not take very long but getting to that stage might

Whatever happens in 2007, there are NO elections in Lewes District in May 2006.
