Although at least three candidates have been selected do we have a date yet?
Is it now too late for 2nd May?

Has he actually resigned yet?
<http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/Search.aspx?terms=Chiltern+Hundreds> and
<http://www.hm-treasury.gov.uk/Search.aspx?terms=Manor+of+Northstead>
suggest not.

If he had, perhaps some public spirited MP could have talked out the
adoration of the Maggie by spending all day moving the writ.

Ding Dong!

The Guardian reckons that he will vacate the seat on Monday (15th), and the
by-election will be on 2nd May.

Yeah, saw that on Twitter. I knew Parliamentary timetables were shorter than
for local elections but not that much! Postal vote and register applications
have to be in by Wednesday. Or are those deadlines later for Parliamentary
elections too?
