Tim Worstall: Good sir, reflect on other options; a short delay could allow time to, 'think again' about the maldistribution of votes, which will occur should the present arrangement to allow to continue in the dual-candidate regions. It would also remove the risk of potential litigation by candidates who suffer a real or perceivd grievenace.

The NEC, would certainly have agreed the UKIP/Ganley negotiations, but may not have given due consideration to their own status as, 'bankers of last resort', should the Party's resources not be sufficient when the 'bills come in'. Many are just ordinary individuals of modest circumstances, with young children and older ones who are students. Have we not also a duty to consider their circumstances?

Are you denying, Mr Worstall, that their circumstances should not be important determinants in the 'decision making' process? With the benefit of reflection, you may agree with a delay being justified.
