Cancellation of Regional Assembly Referenda and Hartlepool.

The Today programme is this morning reporting that two of the three planned Autumn referenda in the North of England could be cancelledor postponed, leaving only the North East to vote. This ties in with a press release issued by Neil Herron of NEARA yesterday, which indicated that all the votes might be cancelled or deferred, when the deadline to define criteria would be reached today .

UKIP having chickened out of the Leicester South and Hodge Hill by-elections, with one excuse being the necessity of campaigning for a NO vote in these referenda, will once again have their political ineptness vividly demonstrated if some or all of the contests are indeed cancelled.

Another excuse that Hartlepool would be a more winnable by-election seat, is a further test looming on the horizon for the UKIP. Blair has to decide whether to send Mandelson to Brussels as Britain's only Commissioner by the end of this month. We trust that a suitably competent and high-profiled UKIP candidate, acceptable to the local branch has already been selected, and that a well financed and professional campaign will immediately swing into action as soon as the announcement is made. After all the poor tired supposed poltical-professionals must surely by now have had time to recover from their exertions of last May and early June!
