By-elections
A by-election, also known as a special election in the United States and the Philippines, a bye-election in Ireland, a bypoll in India, or a Zimni election ( Urdu: ضمنی انتخاب, supplementary election) in Pakistan, is an election used to fill an office that has become vacant between general elections. A vacancy may arise as a result of an incumbent dying or resigning, or when the incumbent becomes ineligible to continue in office (because of a recall, election or appointment to a prohibited dual mandate, criminal conviction, or failure to maintain a minimum attendance), or when an election is invalidated by voting irregularities. In some cases a vacancy may be filled without a by-election or the office may be left vacant. Origins The procedure for filling a vacant seat in the House of Commons of England was developed during the Reformation Parliament of the 16th century by Thomas Cromwell; previously a seat had remained empty upon the death of a member.

Thurstaston is a village on the Wirral Peninsula, Merseyside, England. It is part of the West Kirby and Thurstaston Ward of the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral and the parliamentary constituency of Wirral West.

At the time of the 2001 census, the village itself had only 160 inhabitants, although the national census included Caldy and parts of Irby, bringing the total population to 15,548. History Thurstaston means "village of a man called Thorsteinn/Þorsteinn", from the Old Norse personal name ''Thorsteinn''/''Þorsteinn'' and Old English ''tún'' "farm, village". A record of the name as ''Torstestiune'' in 1048 proves this origin. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as ''Turstanetone''. Historically and popularly, the name was wrongly thought to refer to "Thor's Stone", a sandstone outcro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
