New Election Rule, Will Mess Up Rutland Conservative Tactics
In the past it has been possible for Rutland Conservatives to be
elected unopposed, due the ability of candidates being able to
be nominated in more than one ward and pulling out of the
other wards after nominations were notified.
The new rule means this can no longer happen.
A candidate can still be nominated for more than ward, but
there is little point. Because before the deadline for nominations
they must pull out of all but one, if they don't they will be disqualified.
