To be governed is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be governed is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonoured. That is government; that is it's justice; that is its morality.

By-election timetable
"A new Writ is usually moved within three months of the vacancy occurring. There have been a few instances of seats remaining vacant longer than six months before a by-election was called, and seats have also been left vacant towards the end of a Parliament to be filled at the general election instead."
The Squeeker has little respect for convention, he will do as he is told by his Labour chums.
To be fair, Bercow would do anyone for anyone, if it turned out to his personal advantage. Since Call-Me-Dave will be best placed to give him an early punt to the Lords, he may "censure" (hahahahar) Broon. Sternly Worded Memo ahoy!
There may not be an election.
The EU may rule that a general election without prisoners being able to vote makes it illegal, and it will be cancelled.
The Grand Noseminer may decide to carry on ruling. Forever.
Isn't the EU fan-fucking-tastic?
CR.
So, if there was the by-election, would te winner be entitled to the £30k pay off if they didn't hang onto it at the GE?
and what about their pension and expenses entitlement?

These days, if England has to be governed by foreigners (it's traditional after all), I'd rather England be run by multinational bureaucrats in Brussels than by the monstrous regiment of Scotchmen in London.
Touche.
