Talk:London Assembly

message: If you follow the link to the Additional Member System page, the page is about a 'family' of election systems and London uses the Parallel voting branch so the page really should link to there instead. But isn't it referred to as Additional Member System in London? Don't want to make a change just to have it reverted by someone because its confusing. Mattlore (talk) 06:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, London uses AMS. Note how few Conservatives have been elected on the list despite a high vote and you'll see the link. What is "parallel" is that voting for the Mayor has zero effect on the Assembly & vice versa. Timrollpickering (talk) 08:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I see - so it seems to be a MMP system. What had confused me was the lack of overhang leaving the final result weighted in favour of Labour and the Conservatives. Mattlore (talk) 09:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the lack of an overhand has more to do with 44% of the seats being allocated by the list, so it would take a pretty big sweep for one party to get enough constituencies to bring it into effect. There's an inevitable large party bias but that's standard in most systems. Timrollpickering (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: 14 seats are elected directly and the other 11 by counting the 25 under modified D'Hondthttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-17769428. However, that said, I am confused why 100,040 votes wasn't enough to get UKIP a seat when Lib Dems got 2 with 150,447 votes.Dan88888 (talk) 12:10, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a 5% threshold to qualify for list seats. At most elections one or more parties falls foul of this. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:12, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Party switch 

message: There is a sentence here which says, "Terms are for four years, so despite the delayed 2020 election, which was held in 2021, the following election will be in 2024."   This is clearly wrong; if terms were for four years then an election in 2021 would be followed by an election in 2025.  Please could someone correct or delete this?
