Boundary changes: the unitary authority of York was reviewed separately at the review and given two seats. Rather than an East/West or North/South split York has been divided into inner and outer parts, resulting in an unusual `doughnut-shaped` seat that entirely surrounds this seat.

Standing as candidate for york central on behalf of the monster raving loony william hill party. Main objective to repeal the smoking ban which has been a disaster for the Uk economy.
I might have vote for Eddie Vee, but there have to be limits to lunacy, and bringing back smoking in pubs is just a bit too mad for this recovering nicotine addict.
Eve of poll and I still haven’t made up my mind between Labour to cock a snook at the flipping Tories, or Green to cock a snook at Hugh Bayley’s support for the bloody wars against Iraq and Afghanistan.
Had a pleasant weekend here. More Labour posters than any other party, surprising number of Green ones too. I wouldn’t be surprised if the LDs got 2nd here, but if the Tories keep that position it probably helps Labour more in the longer term.
Hugh Bayley is now one of two Deputy CWMs ‘pro tempore’ for the next fortnight or so serving alongside Haselhurst until the three new Deputy Speakers are elected. Who is the other temporary Deputy CWM?
