RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted May 13 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 13 12 hours ago, Sidecar Racer said: Only in America . Party removed to avoid any talk of politics , just for the laugh . Voters in Indiana were irate this week after they learned that the woman who they voted for - and the woman who won the XXXXXXXX primary in which they were voting - had actually been dead for two months. Voters said that no one informed them that the woman had died, and there was nothing on her website that indicated she was no longer alive. They also blamed local media for not actually telling anyone what was happening. In Australia, we had a recent candidate who passed away a couple of weeks before the general election, so that particular seat election was cancelled and the rest went ahead. A few weeks later that seat had a belated election, with a replacement candidate. Is that not how a civilised country deals with a similar situation? 2 months is ridiculous. 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of their number, a lady of the sort we would now call a Karen, buttonholes me, reservation in hand, ‘Porter’ (you’ll pay for that, Karen), ‘is this ‘A’ coach?’. Stickers printed with big capital As in the windows not enough for you, Karen?… ‘Yes, madam, this is a coach. Behind it are more coaches, the smelly thing making all the noise is a locomotive, and the ugly character leaning out of it’s window is a driver’. And, walked off.

Which would have been utter chaos had the majority party needed that one seat to form a government - the whole country would have been in uproar until the byelection. Australia has to deal with elections occurring at random times at the whim of the government - and consequently can run a byelection. In the US the elections are rigorously calendared - happening at the same time each year they are held. Federal elections are mandated as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November by statute. There would be a process to have an appointee hold the seat until the next calendared election - like any vacancy. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 And now for something completely different; drifting in slow motion. The video creator has an inspired choice of appropriate backing music, a soft Indian Raga-style, which would classically be played for many hours, as this abnormal load did indeed take. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a process to have an appointee hold the seat until the next calendared election - like any vacancy. But state governments also used to be at the whim of the individual premiers, but most if not all, have fixed terms of 4 years now. This has changed in the past 20 years. I still don't see the point of having a temporary appointee. We did have a major issue in the 70s because of a senator who died (for senators, a replacement is appointed in such cases, but is not temporary, but until the next election) and his replacement was a dodgy one, because he didn't represent the late senators party, but the opposition. It led to the events of 11/11/75, perhaps you might recall the circumstances - a notable day in Australian politics. Almost as a notable date in politics as 5/11/1605. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
